Thanks for the replies. Another issue is both of us have parents living here in the hometown. Hers are in their early 50s. Mine are in their early 70s. I also have a sister with special needs. I kinda like the idea of being in the same town as them so I can take care of them in their later years.
Jump to postHey gang. I've been dating a gal for four months. We get along great. We have the same beliefs, values, ect. We've had serious talks about getting married within the next two years. There's only one problem. She has a degree and works in social services and makes $10-11/hr. I don't have a degree but...
Jump to postI miss all the airline choices for sure. Not being able to go to the jetway without a ticket...that's a real bummer. I miss the printed timetables.
Jump to postHey gang. The one constant in aviation is change. What do you miss about yesteryear? I miss seeing Western, Republic, and North Central birds on my ramp. I miss the F-4, F-14, and F-111. I miss hearing the Mesaba call-sign on the radio. I saw a P-51 take off a couple months ago and I could get used ...

Jump to postIMO Where we need airline development is new turboprops. Only problem is airline pax want jets. There's plenty of RJs out there. Gulfstream needs to stick to what it does best, the bizjet market. Like others have said I could see them doing some more military stuff.

Jump to postI never backed in much til I started hanging out with a couple friends who do it all the time. I like it, my parking spot at home has a slight uphill incline so I back up to the concrete stop then go forward about a foot that way when it snows I can back up and get a run at it if I need to. I really...
Jump to postIt'll be a very sad to see the last secheduled 727 flight. I think it is one of the greatest looking aircraft out there! It is just mindboggling to think that the 727 served with so many US based operators. They looked great no matter who they were flying for. <acronym title="American Airlines (USA)...
Jump to postLike most I think American will be the surviving callsign, although I do like the Cactus callsign better.

Jump to postA few years ago a buddy was looking at pics on anet. We are both airplane nuts. I'm not much of a computer person, but I quickly got addicted to looking at the countless pics on anet.

I didn't walk in there looking for love that night but fate was on my side. I had to ask the guy next to me to pinch me.
The mood in the place was downright ugly, ya didn't walk in there unless you knew how to use your fists. It was worse than Detroit.

Jump to postI should've said it earlier. I really, really, really miss seeing the big red "W" out there.
Jump to postIts like Jerry Seinfeld said "I'm sure a lot of these scratches will buff right out."
Jump to postThat's a cool video. Its cool to see all of those 727s. I wish DL still had the DFW hub.
Jump to postI work around airplanes every day. I started having nightmares about them approx 10 years ago. Mine are mostly about general aviation stuff as that is what I work around. I guess if you're around something enough, you're gonna have nightmares about it.
Jump to postIts great for keeping up with far away friends and family. My job keeps me from getting on the road much so it works great for talking to people that I otherwise wouldn't have chance to.

Jump to postWestern Airlines was my favorite airline of all time. I wish they were still in operation today. I think the 738 would look very good in WA colors.
Jump to postNever! No chance! When I'm not working I'm on call. I've kept their bussiness open when nobody else was willing to. FB is mine and not theirs!
Jump to postThey should never change it! Its a great brand and a great company.
Jump to postI'm hoping they'll bring back DL and NW 727s to offset the retirement of the DC-9s and CRJ-200s.
