No.
The B744 has only gaseous oxygen in bottles.
Same as all B747s, and the B737-200, most B737-3/4/500 (all?) and B727 and B707.
The B777 comes in both guises. Most have generators but some airlines have a bottle system.

No longer correct, though can't testify as to how they were delivered.
But our 1985 built 737-200s have ATI interiors and chemical generators. The chem gens may have been part of the ATI interior, I don't know, but either way, we've got candles.

OK sorry, our 1985 B732s all had oxygen bottles, and we sold the lot in 1990.
In fact I saw a B732 here t ARN this summer for the first time in years, it came from Beirut. Lovely to hear a noisy old plane again!

Not to derail the thread, but doesn't this break noise regs?

Well it had some sort of silencers fitted, but was still very noisy. Perhaps it was to the standards of the US B732s? and it wasn't based in the EU.
I don't quite understand the rules. There was a private DC8 here in the summer with JT3s. Perhaps low rate ops are allowed.

Currently in-service 737-200 aircraft have stage III hushkits fitted to the tailpipes, which increases fuel consumption, increases exhaust pollution, and decreases noise by about 0.00052 decibels. Enough to get it JUST into Stage III, but that's about it.

Yes, as are mine. I never go anywhere without hearing protection, which is a pain, as I am constantly losing my muffs!

Aircraft aren't generally disallowed from landing at an airport just because they're noisy. You can't base a stage II airplane in a stage III country in reg sched. pax ops, but limited cargo use and charters seem to be common.
We've still got DC-6 aircraft flying in and out of Anchorage all the time, and they're louder than the vast majority of jet aircraft in service.

Yes but they sound so cool. There should be something in the regs about coolness...

Isn't there a restriction on all types,unless prior permission is sought.Not sure as we don't have any noise restrictions in place out here as on date.
