ORD trivia: Anyone know the story of this 727 parked next to AA383's one-winged 767?

Jump to postAnecdotally, it seems as though in decades past, the fuselage was targeted, whereas recently, it seems only the airfoil was targeted. Perhaps this is just coincidental (more judicious use of fluid). do the de-icing operators have any specific training? More often than not, this takes place in dark,...
Jump to postI quit watching the original run in the later seasons.... It drifted off in to the surreal... Dan dying of heart attack and Roseanne winning the lotto.

Jump to postI know there are two formulas, two different colors, one lasting longer than the other. My questions are 1. How hot is the fluid when sprayed onto the aircraft? 2.

Jump to postIf my memory serves me correctly, they have H15, K7, K12, K13, K15, K16, and K19. K9 used to be a widebody gate, but I remember hearing that they made it a narrowbody gate so that K13 and K15 could be expanded to handle 787s/777s rather than just 767s. I know H15 can take an A330, but I'm not sure ...

Jump to postH15 and K7,9,12,15,16, and 19 are widebody gates. K12 and 15 can take a 772 and K16 and 19 can take a 77W.
K13 can only take up to a 738 as K15 was expanded recently.
Not bad. Although my first thought is something, or someone, was ingested in the number one engine while the APU is generating a lot of heat.
