TPA/MCO - Grouping these together as pretty much the same concept. MCO copied TPA which is older, but the people movers to the gate concourses are different from what you usually see, particularly when TPA opened. TPA was more special though because each airside was totally different, whereas they'...

Polling shows the great majority of Americans support aid to Ukraine, so a bit like being pro choice too. What did polling show before we invaded Afghanistan in October, 2001 (war on terror) and before we invaded Iraq in March, 2003 over WMD? IIRC, most Americans were for it and both had widespread...

Jump to postFactory fresh 727-100s began replacing the AA Electras at PVD in the late 60s along with the BAC-111s in the lightning bolt livery. In the 70's the ubiquitous 727 markings replaced the lightning bolt. Anyone know that timeframe? I believe that the Red,White & Blue stripes with the styled AA Eag...

Jump to postWhy did some AA 727's -- I believe those designated 727-100 or 727-23 -- not have a 1R door? I don't think any 727-100s had a 1R door, all their doors were smack in between windows.

Jump to postThat's not the point I was making. It's not about punishing adults, it's about protecting the unborn. What's refreshingly honest is it admits the typical pro choice line that abortion is extremely rare and a gut wrenching decision for most women is a lie (IMO).
