GIII N358CY flies occasionally out of DAB.
Jump to postThose comments are not mocking the women. Instead they’re making light of a situation. Two completely different things.
Jump to postActually, if you know your history Gulfstream keeps their secrets as well as anyone. Remember the first press release about the G500/G600? No one had any idea it was a project and at that very press conference the G500 actually taxi'd up to the reporters! Now that's a well kept secret. Not taking a...
Jump to postPersonally I think the Global 7500 will be the game changer. The largest cabin of any purpose built biz jet and greater range over G650ER. I can see the Global 8000 getting axed for good. I don't think any operator will sacrifice the cabin space just for an extra 200nm in range. In other words, the...
Jump to postPretty intense secret to keep all this time without any leaks. An optimized wing, new engines (already certified) and a prototype they can fly across the Atlantic, and not a whisper! Not only did they supplant Gulfstream's latest entries completely, they keep secrets better than them as well! I thi...
Jump to postWow! I’ve just seen a C-46 flying at low level over downtown Miami today just after 12:00. Does anyone know the ID of this bird or where it was going? Amazing sound. I am checking with some of my South Florida Aviation & Photography folks today. Hopefully I can get back to you soon with some re...
Jump to postLiving in South Florida I much preferred to take the US/AA flight through PHL without getting mired in the JFK/EWR congestion. I think it’s AA’s greatest asset compared to the over-served NY market.
Jump to postThe press is reporting on various news sites and on Twitter that Frontier Airlines will be virtually doubling in size. One problem with all of this, where are the airplanes? Currently Frontier has about 66 jets. Something is not adding up here. I just talk to a buddy of mine Who is a pilot for Front...
Jump to postWhy keep the EICAM CRTs and the engine steam gauges? They'll keep the EICAM CRT's and "steam" engine gauges because they work well and don't need replacing. The avionics typically are a different matter because replacing older CRT flight displays often gives you more capability such as na...
Jump to postMy brother had one shed a blade out of Dallas 2 months ago and swallowed it causing the failure. Sorry I deleted the pic off my phone but I will get another from him and post it with specifics. He took many photos of the intake and exhaust once back at the gate. Plane was less than a month old too....
Jump to postBoeing actually offered the 787-3 which had a different wing and much lower weight but still with the high technology of the 787 family. There wasn't enough interest.
Jump to postI noticed this afternoon that the FedEx titles on the fuselage and tail were painted over. Pretty quickly done IMO.
Jump to postThe site is not user-friendly otherwise they wouldn't have hundreds of people complaining about it. I've tried multiple photo searches and often end up frustrated and not finding what I was looking for. That is not user-friendly and I am very fluent with technology.

Jump to postThe only real issue with the engines has been the extended start up time. It is a fully certified engine which is meeting or exceeding all of it's promises but the start-up time is a problem. I hadn't read it was almost 6 minutes, I had read it was about 3 minutes although if the two engines are bei...

Jump to postHow long is the runway on St. Helena and what kind of equipment will Comair be flying?
Never mind - - I got my answer! 737's and A319's will be commercially operated according to Wiki. Not a very long runway though! Less than 5,000 feet!

They didn't say 18 months. They said the initial construction will last 39 months with all construction to end within 18 months thereafter. That's almost 5 years. Also, the anchorman was being facetious about how hard it is to get to Newark. He basically said "you have to go over a bridge" which I s...
