Jump to postIt's a bit unrealistic to me. Even given the Kitty Hawk's age (commissioned in 1961), she's still
too much ship for the Indians to handle. 5000 men, constant maintenance & lots of fuel oil.
Doubtful that the Hawk will go to India.

I'll be right here on A.net. A far, far better place to be than watching a bunch of overpaid, overrated
and overly egotistical show biz airheads getting a gold-plated dildo & making meaningless speeches.

Slightly off-topic here, and a bit of USAAF's serial number trivia from WW2...
The highest serial number ever assigned to an aircraft was 42-110188, assigned
to a Consolidated B-24J Liberator. No idea how they displayed that number on
the twin tails.

Jump to postGood to see that this 767 has a service life now. In any role, she'll be useful, whether military
or civilian. I hate to see any brand-new airframe sit around & do nothing.

I remember seeing her first time in a film titled "If It's Tuesday, It Must Be Belgium".
She was a fine actress, and a handsome-looking woman.
Rest in Peace, Ms. Pleshette...and my regards to Tom Poston up there.

CNN this morning had a brief report, with still aerial photos.
Anyone here get anything they're willing to post?

I thought they were 757s.
Anyway, marketing people don't really give a damn if a few select people like us
recognizes the airline. It's a poorly-made ad made on the cheap five-&-dime route.
