Nice job,Rusjet! And if you look real close on the tail, just in the middle of the cloud there is a figure on a horse standing out: Saint George and the dragon. It is bold isn't it? They made it their own.
Jump to postAnother detail: behind the front door it says: "Fireliner" after "Dreamliner". Many years ago,when the A300 had orders from the Japanese airline TOA Domestic, the company asked that its new aircraft be painted in the Airbus House Colours. The factory complied and in one of their ...

Jump to postYou are right. That's their purpose. "We are just as good". But then, airlines have been doing that since the 1950s.

This is nothing compared to what happened in an episode of the "Flying Nun": the guest star was on "Up Up and Away" airlines and for some reason she decided to see him off in her own special way. So,as he was looking out of the window he saw her waving goodby to him and of course...
Jump to postDon't forget the take off performance of the Boeing 720B. The MD-80 must be close second in a sweat! Speaking of myself I have flown a DC-9-50 and I could feel it was climbing fast. But it could not compare to the power of the 720B and its rate of climb. It was something different.
Jump to postExactly, and as the manager of a well-known, highly successful, no-frills airline has put it mildly: "It is a glorified bus operation!" Or,they should try Pam Ann Airlines: "We don't make the same mistake more than two times...well,make it three...perhaps four... no more than five!&qu...
Jump to postNow is the best time to narrate an incident that happened many years ago,in 1970. My uncle and a friend of his decided to go to Madagascar on business and when he returned to Greece after two years he had many stories to relate. They flew on Air France and returned on Alitalia or the other way aroun...
Jump to postLet's repeat something: is there a conclusive explanation how the SatCom was re-activated? Was that the most curious thing about MH370? What do the experts say? What is their best guess? Let's resume our conversation.
Jump to postGetting the rest of the radar data could help clarify this and then be used to recalculate the final leg distance. Why is Malaysia still hiding this data? Shame on them! Malaysia is not a superpower. They are not at war. Are their capabilities that good that they need to be kept secret? I really do...

Jump to postWith regards to repairing this aircraft, LH has rebuilt a write-off before. In the mid/late 70s D-ABYU (freighter) went off the runway at HKG Kai Tak. The engines were ripped off and the E and E compartment was crushed by the nosewheel folding back. The maindeck floor was also damaged by the nose b...

I believe after a few months LH will do the same in the circle either with yellow or with white but they will, they will finally admit it. F...
Jump to postIf you search in the Photos under "Lufthansa 737-200" you will see various experimental liveries that were not adopted for one reason or another. So don't worry. The new experimental one won't be adopted either. They are testing the water. But as you will see, they have lost their "pr...

They're all guesswork. "Basically it's the same as everything else that's happened with this ...
Jump to postThe plane was ditched carefully,both links attest to that, due to the condition of the flaperon. (One link in reply 288,the other one appeared in November last year). The problem is where that happened. Because people seem to believe that those pieces found their way to Madagascar, Tanzania and Reun...
Jump to postDood morning, 777Jet I will tell you something from my point of view as a former gate agent: First of all,how many of you have worked at an airport? None,I suspect. Second, after four years I find it natural to have changed my opinion. Some time ago I suspected the reason was technical and now I und...

Jump to postAccurate or not we know from those 9/11 videos on YouTube what drone planes can do. Have you watched them? They are very illuminating.

Jump to postThis plane looks like a hybrid in my opinion. Nose like a comet, tail like an Electra, rear-mounted engines like a DC-9. triangular windows and last but not least, four-wheel bogies. It should be worthy to have a re-engined one to do some flights...it is in the spirit of aviation.

Jump to postYou believe that the plane will be found. So,you must be thinking that it only lost a flapperon upon ditching and that the rest is intact? Can't you see from the nature of the twenty or so pieces found so far only in Madagascar and Reunion (and nowhere else) that it disintegrated totally?
