I have one picture (maybe two) that I took out the window of a plane taking off from King Mohammed V Airport in Cassablanca last in October 98. I saw it the other day but I can't quite remember what's all in the shot. If it's something you are interested in just e-mail me.

Has anyone seen or have photos of NWA new A319 that was delivered on august 6th?
Jump to postThanks anyway I appreciate the input. I went on a United flight once and they had the channel on the headphones and all the turns and the altitude changes were noted and I thought it was real interesting stuff. You could also hear other flights asking for changes too. I'm due for a flight in a few d...
Jump to postIs there a place I can find the freq a commercial flight would use from SMF to LAS to MCI? I have the plane from takeoff to handoff to Oakland Center, then I don't know what the frequency is from there to LAS and from LAS to MCI.. I've tried searching for "tower freqs" etc, but I[m not sure what the...
Jump to postDoes anyone have a shot of an Air France plane coming in for a landing, which appears to be about tree-top level over a beach? Similar to #23973 of CorsAir landing at St. Marten in the "Our Best Shots!" at this site?
Jump to postDo you have any photos posetd on airliners.net from the parking garage?
if you do I would like to know what to find them at. or if someone else has any photos from this spot I would like to see what the photos look like.
thanks

Come on! E-NUF we all knowm the MD-11 is just about the best plane in the world! So lay off the ol' workhorse!
Jump to postThe 777 UA was about a year ago, it landed about 2:30 diverted from Dulles and went over by the hanger behind the A concourse. and left @ 4:30 just when the DC-10 UA was landing. also there was a 757 diverted with it. If I can find my shots I will post them. they aren't very good though It was a cra...
Jump to postI am at CLE almost twice a week spotting and I have seen a UA 777 land there so the runways aren't too short for a 777. CO is flying a 757 from LOndon in FEB. to CLE
Jump to postI am goint to LAX in April, I herd that there is an observation deck there. I would like to see some pics taken from there to see if it's a good place to shoot from. also I would like to know the lenses used on the shots. (ex. 60-300mm) I would really appreciate it if someone could help. thanks

Not to start another huge argument,but I have got to know just what is everyone's BIG problem with the 777?(I mean the plane itself.Not because the cattle class is uncomfortable.)
Jump to postWell, it's not that I don't trust pilots, I don't trust people in general (my law enforcement background). I don't think pilots are incompetent, they are very professional. I like to talk to them if possible as you board. My nature is such that I just simply don't enjoy being in a situation I have n...
Jump to postWell, I'm not a pilot, but I do fly ocasionally. I just got back from a flight to Arizona on Southwest last weekend. I understand flying, I understand the fundamentals of aerodynamics. I know there are controllers that send planes to a destination and I know there's a flight plan, and checklists. I ...
Jump to postI've tried a search, but I don't know what the routes are formally called. Can anyone please tell me what the air-routes for jets are called and where I can find a map of them on the 'net? I appreciate it, my grandson is asking questions I can't answer. hmmmm he's too smart for his age.
Jump to postAirbear,the MD-11 is more technologically advanced.
FedEx, I asked that question about a month ago and it does'nt look like there will be one.(Cargo 777)
Hi Noel! I do have FS98 and think it's great that your working on an MD-11 for it! So, sure I'd like a copy! Let me know.

I just got back from flying in a FedEx MD-11 level D flight simulator.It was my first time handeling the MD-11. I did some steep turns,a full flaps stall, a couple hand flow landings, and a CatIIIB approach. My conclusion? The MD-11 rocks! It's such a beautiful flying plane! I love it! The MD-11 is ...
Jump to postBoeing has three major fields. Paine field,in Everett is the wide body assembly plant.Boeing field,downtown Seattle,is their military assembly plant.The third is in Witchita,wich builds some misc. parts and ships them to Washington,used to be thier main military assembly plant. Hope this helps.
Jump to postYeah,the flying is pretty,but extremely dangerous up here.I did'nt choose here,I was just born here.:)
Note:Pre Flighting a plane sucks when it's 0 degrees out!
There may be a picture of 78R in the book "Flying Beats Work" The story of Reeve Aleutian Airways.
Jump to postHe might not be pretty fly for a white guy.I think you two made him mad.:) This is also just a joke!
Jump to postI have a question that could have a split answer.I used to see Alaska Airlines 727s at ANC but I have'nt seen any for years.Q1.did they get rid of thier 727s?Q2. If they still have them,where do they fly?(I live in Alaska,so I guess not here anymore.)Q3.If they got rid of them,then when? Hope someon...
Jump to postI would say the number one scheme(my opinion) is the ERA DC-3(the silver one).With all that polished aluminum,it's just beutiful!
I also like the FedEX MD-11's.
I have'nt heard of any Electra replacements.I may have been a mix-up on the part of the paper.I still love the sound of an Electra,seeing how it's such a big turboprop!

I've never been wreckchasing,but I did see a beaver crash right in front of me. It seems that someone wanted the pilot dead and hired someone to cross link the controls.The pilot did'nt bother to pre-flight(flight controls check) because it was going to be a quick hop.He tookoff from Lake Hood(Near ...
Jump to postI had to wait on the taxiway at IAH(Houston) for just over two hours one time.Gee,I wonder if it had any connection to one of the runways being closed.:)
Jump to postTo answer your question Iain,I've been coming here for about the last four months,so you've probably been here longer than me.Also,I am a C.F.I. in Anchorage,Alaska,just working my way up the food chain.:)
Jump to postWill FedEx be replacing all thier DC-10's with MD-11's?(Not that it matters,they're both great!) What will be FedEx's most numerous plane?(Besides the Caravan)
Jump to postYES,and the only XF-107,along with the Viscount and SR-71!It's also neat how they have the Skycrane situated over the sidewalk on the way inside!And Kennedy's DC-4! Have fun on your next trip!
Jump to postSo actually,it's the HEAVIEST,not the LARGEST.(Of course,they both loose out on size and weight compared to the -225,but I think it's been grounded though I'm not sure of it's grounding)
Jump to postI been there and it was AMAZING!! WHAT CAN'T I SAY ABOUT IT?! I think it was perfect.I ran around the whole place 'till I got sunburned! Alomst everything there is some one-of-a-kind or record holder.I loved it!
Jump to postI know this is'nt a COMMERCIAL aviation question,but I have a quick one. Does anyone know why most books say that the An-124 is larger than the C-5 when the C-5 has a larger fuselage and more wing Sq.Ft. area?
(AN-124 Lenth-226Ft.)
(C-5 Lenth-247Ft.)
I think that the 747 would be amazing in FedEx colors!I hope they purchase 747's.And more MD-11's!Long live the 747 and MD-11!If you fly for FedEx,how could you go wrong!
Jump to postCaptpeter,KNOCK IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!Quit screwing with this forum!It's supposed to be about aircraft,not insulting people!
Jump to postAviator_ua,if you read Captpeter's post,you'll see that he's not even a pilot.Don't let him get the best of you.I think your posts are very informing and interesting.Please don't go! Merry Christmas
Jump to postCaptPeter and MB5158,you guys don't have to be such jerks about your couriosity with Aviator_ua!Just aks him in a polite way.As Ian said,HE BETTER KNOW IT ALL! If someone is going to fly a 767,they better be very smart.
Jump to postAir Force One(747-200 converted) supposedly,with it's more powerful engine,can attian 701 M.P.H.
Jump to postThis is kinda funny.What would you do if some airline(pick any airline you want) made the seating in the MD-11 just as crammed as the 777? :) Who knows? there might be an airline who does that. Would you say that is a reason to dislike the MD-11? I doubt it.
