Out of curiosity, is there a way to find out what ship number (B767-300ER) was flying on 13th October 1997 from VIE to ATL? It was my 1st TATL flight. Would there be a chance that this particular 767 is still in the DL fleet? IIRC, the routing of that aircraft was ATL-VIE-BUD-VIE-ATL if that helps....

I still don't get it or missed it between the lines, but why weren't they able to hard-block the seats like LH does for almost a decade now in their 321s (which physically have 205 seats, but blocked down to 200) with the table. see here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Lufthansa_Business_Class...

Delta did this as well on the 800’s a few years ago to get them to 150. I don't recall that. I'm looking at DL-origin seat maps from 2005 and 2008 that actually had 150 physical seats. It was before 2005. They removed four 3 seat groups from the left aft portion of the Y cabin (12 seats) and added ...

Just a practical question: In the case of tri-jets, in particular the DC-10 and MD-11, the engine nr. 2 is mounted some 10m above ground. How is the oil level control and top-up performed? Logically, a cherry picker or similar device would be required to access the engine. Or is there a possibility...

JT8s always did leave a puddle of oil at the bottom of the airstairs on the 727. In my experience, PW4000s use very little oil compared to a GE CF6.
