Fdx1382, a second 763 last night, took a strange route back to MEM last night. Took of 28R and went north then continued a 270 degree turn to the south. It turned eastbound to Harrisburg.

Jump to postI probably sound like an idiot, but how does a new FO get taxi experience on an airplane with a tiller only on the left?

Jump to postAt PIT:
Smallest is the Cessna 208B (Southern Airways Express) and Beech 400A (OneJet)
Largest is the 757-200 (Delta) and starting this summer the 767-300 (Condor)
The gates designed for Saabs and CRJs at MSP's A and B concourses gotta be on the running for the shortest jetbridge.
All aircraft have a white light pointing rearward, either on the tail or on the wingtips. Same with boats, where quite a few aviation regulations and traditions are based on.
