Jump to postOps is reporting a UPS DC-8 that is on fire on Rwy 27R. I guess they are just starting to get control of the fire. They are already planning huge delays once the airport is reopened and expecting 27R to stay closed most of the day. Anyone have any other info?
Jump to postWell it looks like another 744 is on it's way today to <acronym title="Marana - Pinal Airpark (Silver Bell AHP) (MZJ), USA - Arizona">MZJ</acronym>. Hopefully this is just a temporary measure and they will return to service soon. Interesting note, they are at FL430, not an altitude you see the 744 a...

Jump to postWow, I did not know anything about this program. This is really interesting. I wonder if Sir Richard is onboard the 744 enroute to SLN? Thanks for bringing this record attempt to my attention. I will be watching!

Are they discontinuing those and flying Kingman non-stop or will there really be 12 flights in and out of <acronym title="Prescott - Ernest A. Love Field (PRC / KPRC), USA - Ar...
Jump to postDid anyone think about Frontier? They are a LCC that has really taken off even against giant United. Denver is a hot market these days and could be a good central location to start an operation. I guess it doesn't really fit in with the "cactus" theory but then who knows anything is possible. <acron...
Jump to postIt looks like British Airways will be switching back to the 747-400 next summer for the busy summer season here in Phoenix! I was told that due to the converting of the 777 to the 4-class layout the large reduction of capacity was going to make the 777 too small for the Phoenix flight. Good to hear ...

Jump to postWhat is going on? I don't get it, why is Delta sending their 777 to all of these small cities and then on to Hawaii? Anyone have a clue? They are obviously charters, but for what?
Jump to postWhat's going on on the wonderful little island of Maui to warrant all these flights? That would be quite a sight to see all those Delta 777 sitting there in paradise.

Jump to postI was thinking, Lila's design would work for a new American Airlines scheme also, with a little tweaking, like switching the stripes to red white then blue.
Jump to postWell I didn't see this one coming. Airbus must have made them a deal they simply couldn't refuse. I sure wouldn't want to be stuck on an A319 for very long with 156 seats squeezed in it, most airlines operate only 150 seats on the A320. But, I guess it will be interesting to see the A319 painted up ...
Jump to postSince the introduction of the new CRJ-700's into service I have noticed something odd, but common with all of them regardless of airline. The tail cone of all that I have seen is not painted. I was wondering why they are like that? Could it be from the heat of the APU effecting the paint so they jus...

Jump to postI think Pangean Airlines would be a great name for an airline. The word refers to when all the continents on the earth were one giant landmass. Thus the name would imply that the airline connects all the worlds continents together as one.
