All I can say is: I really do hope so. It is a great and beautiful aircraft and that also counts for the Fokker 50
Jump to postI saw the picture from the new United Airlines look and they can be seen on Jetphotos.net.
although United is not my favourite Airliners, their new schema is in my eyes a futher step behind.
A new identity is okay, but this one....No, not for me
A non-stop flight between Europe to Hawaii is not the regular schedules of the great European carriers for a number of reasons. First, most, if not all the European carriers has American partners who have good links between their hubs and Hawaii, second, for most Europeans Hawaii is to far and most ...

Skyteam is my favorite alliance with great airlines like KLM and NWA in it. To mr yanksn4, Malaysia airlines is still looking for a alliance. Sky Team is their most logical place to be. Why.

As far as I know; NO.
only the registration. The SUD 747-200B is written as 747-200B SUD and not as a 747-300B.

Jump to postMy top 747 livery:
747-100: TWA
747-200: Malaysia, Continental Micronesia, North West Orient
747-300: SIA,
747-400: Malaysia, Air Pacific, NWA( new), KLM (new)
747SP: American Airlines
The 717 is a great plane and the last one still producing from the great MDC line.
Lets hoped the 717 will not go the same way as one of its competitors, the great Fokker F-100
Easy question:
The new NWA DC10, those from Continental and Malaysia and of course Singapore Airlines and KLM
My favorite 777 livery.
Malaysia Airlines is my number one, followed by KLM and American Airlines.
NWA is changing from Boeing to Airbus and I think NWA will order the A380 for their routes to Tokyo Narita. Their 747-200Fs will be replaced by the the 747-400F(ER). I don't think the A330-300 will replace the 747-200 simply because the A333 lacks the range and passengercapacity and as long as the A...

Jump to postYep, the did order the 772 with GE engines as a DC10 replacement.
Currently they are delivered in 2006.As far as I know, they did not cancel the order.
I did travel with Aloha and that was great,although the flight were short. They were on time and their flight-attendents are great,beautiful and helpful.
Only draw-back are their planes, the old workhorse 737-200B
Thanks for the information guys.
Now I can continue with modelmaking
Another great plane is leaving. I hate to see the Fokker F-100 going the same way as that other great bird, the great MD-11.
But the 737-800 is a great plane too
I flew on the -200, -400 and the -800 and they are great airplanes, but my favorite short range aircraft is the F-100 from Fokker.

great presentation about KLM A310. Nice to see them again, although I have them all on dia-slides
I do not think NWA will ever buy the 777.It did not fit in their fleet-plans. They are dedicated to Airbus and they will add more A330-200 and A330-300 to their fleet.

Jump to postKLM Still use the MD-11 on their network and according to some they will remain in service well beyond 2010.
Varig, Finnair , Martinair and Eva Airlines are also using the great bird. Then their is Thai Airways who had 4.
