Re: DXB to hit 65 degrees Celsius

45C is still hugely hot. And from memory is either over or very close to what's considered naturally human habitable. If you're somewhere with working aircon you'll probably be fine.

RE: MD-80 Freighter, Whats Going On?

Well, I will be damned? I got so used to seeing N73444 on the ground that I made an assumption. It only dawned on me about 0130 today that perhaps they had a second. It was in the hangar so I never saw both at once.

Regardless, the Everts DC-9s are in my opinion the best looking DC-9s around.
