How cool would it have been if they left the 990 in the middle of the subdivision? It would've awesome for them to turn it into a restaurant in that neighborhood ala 'BJ Strawberries At The Convair' that once existed at Erie Air Park north of Denver. I ate in that restaurant several times as a Juni...

An enthusiast flight on that -100 very nearly happened a couple of years back, a friend of mine was signed up for it- very expensive though Do you recall what the ticket price was? "Very expensive" is very subjective. In Feb 1985 when I spent UK 300 (US 339) to fly aboard Concorde for 73 ...
Jump to postLooks like that ex-Ports of Call CV-990 is taking off from the adjacent runway! 1897568 http://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9248576 LOL. Yeah, not so much. I realize you're probably joking but that old 990 is out to pasture...had been out to pasture for years at that time. A few years ago I went to the ...

Definitely strange times with Soviet-era turboprops flying around America. I remember this one time in the 90s (NOT band camp) I was out at Stapleton (DEN) and three Russian aircraft were cruising overhead at high altitude. I think it was 2x TU-95 and an IL-76. Most likely during one of their visits...

Thanks for this memory TR. Stapleton was a classic airport example of what happens when you don't have a proper master plan in place. It's also fun to compare the Google Earth historical image from 1993 to today and try to make out all of the different locations around the now-Stapleton community i...

It was the weekend of March 14/15 2020 on a spur-of-the moment roundtrip PHX-MSP-PHX. The MSP-PHX segment was my 757th logged flight and I specifically booked it to fly a 757 on that leg. I'd done so previously with the 747 and 737 but honestly didn't even think about it for the 717. The 707, 720, a...
