Re: DHL 757 off runway at SJO

Why do they refer to 'two souls on board' rather than two people?. Because souls are "living bodies " on board. Its not unheard of for aircraft to carry deceaced bodies on board so, as morbid as it sounds, its a way for rescuers to know how many live people they need to account for if the...

Re: 40 Years of the Mighty 757

There will NEVER, EVER be another aircraft quite like the 757. A rocket with wings, the flying pencil. I'm just sad it perhaps didn't reach its full potential in terms of operators but its fair to say the 75 has done some extraordinary things, both physically and route wise. Happy 40th birthday, 75.

Apologies if it's already been discussed, but activists managed to breach the perimeter at CDG and paint a 777 Green. This ain't just stupid and illegal, it's dangerous.
