Re: Last time you flew on a tri-/quad-jet

Last trijet: NW 722 February, 2002 operated by N285US MEM-MCO.

Last quad: Northwest Airlink ARJ-85 ROC-DTW. I still can't believe this was the only quad I've ever flown.

Re: First Time You Flew on an A320?

December 7, 1997 NW 432 DTW-MCO operated by N311US. In an interesting twist my cousin would also take NW432 down to MCO a few days later but was on a 722.

Re: Upstate New York Aviation - 2023

At around 10:45 today there was a high altitude aircraft or two making smile faces over Rochester and started to write something in the sky as well. After taking some photos and videos my phone battery died just as I was ready to jump over to FR24. Does anyone know what that was about?

Re: Favourite helicopter?

Hey XAMTO, How did you get the Lynx access panel? A 1/72 scale Royal Navy Lynx was the first ever helicopter model I built as a child. Long gone now though.

Re: Favourite helicopter?

Westland Lynx! I have two of them (Royal Army and Royal Navy) in my model collection and an authentic access panel removed off a Royal Navy Lynx XZ 693.

Re: Your most exciting aircraft swaps

In 2005 I was originally booked to fly IAH-LAS on a America West Express CRJ 900 prior to changing in LAS continuing on to SEA. Needless to say, I wasn't exactly thrilled to have such a long flight like that on a CRJ. As luck would have it, storms popped up all over the Houston area that afternoon a...

Re: Plane Parts

I obtained most of my parts and avionics collection on eBay: Two UK sellers on eBay I've obtained parts from include "Obsolete Aircraft Parts" and "jet_blast_aviation". Two other sellers which I want to obtain more parts from but can't because of my upcoming move as well as my co...

Re: Your Most Disappointing Aircraft Swaps.

Back in 2002 I booked a return flight on DL from ATL to MCO on the MD11 just to find a 767-400 at the gate. That was pure disappointment.

LHR: Inbound BA and outbound TAP Portugal

Re: Least known airlines you've flown on
