Re: Runway Incursion at JFK 1/13/23

I also wonder if the American Crew really didn't appreciate what had just happened. Otherwise, I have no idea how you could consider yourself fit for Duty. My brain would want to spend way too much time thinking about every aspect of what just occurred. And how could American's legal department or ...

Re: Yeti Airlines AT75 crash in Nepal

Sound logic yet people still think/insist the earth is flat and endlessly discuss it. Human nature to insist they state their own opinion for the record. Insistence by either side, this early in the investigation, is the root of the controversy. There is still a great deal we don't know, so it's wi...

Re: Yeti Airlines AT75 crash in Nepal

In AV herald they shut down the comments section because of all the chatter around the video. It's been co...

Re: FedEx DC-10 fleet

Not to nitpick but are you purposefully forgetting the DC-10-10s formerly flown by Continental that were FMs first widebodies? There were also a few other assorted DC-10-10s in the fleet from other sources. Were these DC-10-10s still in service during your tenure? Moe My experience was only with th...

Re: FedEx DC-10 fleet

Used to work on them when they were still DC-10s. Not the easiest aircraft to work on but still sad to see them go. When I worked with FX (their call sign was FM back then) they had 15 DC-10s, N301-315FE. Later in the late 80s they added N316-320 ..and the final batch came around 1992, N320-322FE, ...

Boeing 720. As a budding teenaged avgeek in the late 70s I missed out on Western Airlines.

Airport(s) where the number of your departures matches the number of destinations.

As the title states. The airport with the highest number of destinations you've flown to only one time....and no other flights from that airport. For example I've departed Singapore six times, to six different cities. Those are the only flights/destinations I have from Singapore: Bangkok, Newark, Ho...

Re: Airliner Photo Angles and Liveries

The square footage of the 707 Intercontinental wing is larger than the DC-10 and L-1011 (or so I have read). Fact-checking this statement is easy. Per Wikipedia, the wing area of DC-10 is 3550 sq ft, vs. 3050 sq ft. of the 707-300 series. So no, the square footage is not larger than the DC-10. 3456...
