Today marked the launch of this year’s summer season

Newcastle International Airport just minutes before the first flight took off
for the Big Apple. Vocalist Paul Skerritt could be heard entertaining those
lucky passengers prior to boarding singing New

Did Skerritt run across the tarmac and take his seat on board the Boeing 757-200?
I think the answer is 'no' unless he was parachuted down into South Shields. He's performing there tonight at Mambo's on Winchester St. - 7pm-9pm
