Funny you should ask - I was about to start a similar thread. I was looking at a picture of Lufthansa's B747-8 in Airliners this month, and could not help but think how elegant the Queen of the Skies...
Truer words have rarely been uttered. As an aviation and diplomatic historian 4 December 1991 is one of the saddest days in recent history. TWA I was never fond of - but then again can you really be...
For the record, I concur. And of course on a technicality, US Airways did go extinct - they are America West flying as US Airways. And from what I read, the same would happen with AA. So it would be...
Thanks for sharing. You can also get the first season for $10 at amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Mayday-Air-Disasters-Greg-Lanning/dp/B001PCNZHM/ref=pd_luc_bxgy_01_01_t_lh). Looking forward to watching.
Sweet, very sweet, to see a B787 in Jet Blue colors.
Which would mean that America West, hidden first behind the US Airways brand, and now perhaps the American Airlines brand, would actually end up becoming one of the US's premier international...
I assume mine was OK as well; I have to admit I was a bit surprised by your comment when I first read it, but if it refers to posts that were removed, then probably deserved.
I was also largely disappointed that it was heavily tilted towards military. It doesn't mention any of the graveyards for commercial airliners - which are far more interesting to me.
I was 13 at the time, and was lucky that my mom was fairly tolerant of my plane spotting addiction. We lived in Westchester, and normally I would take the New Haven (in its pre-MTA days) to GCT,...
I might add to my list the L-1011. I flew mainly Eastern's version, but more than anything I remember the high ceiling; The plane just seemed to have unlimited room inside.
So far I stand alone with Comet.
I love the 747 - I remember standing inside the Pan Am terminal watching the inaugural push back ... and then come back with yet another overheated engine. (Almost...
Thought this might be a fun thread to start.
In the second chapter of my MA thesis, I make the assertion that the British built two of the most elegant aircraft ever to fly - Comet and Concorde....
It was a business trip - although flying for me is always fun. I am one of those people who have always felt most comfortable and most relaxed in a plane. I recall more years ago than I like to...
Partly it is just pure "what you are used to." For the past 15 years, I have flown to and from Europe 2 to 3 times per year. I realized that this was the first time I had not flown American in all...
Just returned from a RDU-ATL-DET-AMS-ATL-RDU trip. There are few highlights flying Delta, but two follow.
First, on five legs I had five different types. RDU to ATL was an MD-88. I still like the...
You do have to factor in congestion. As you know, CLT is a US Airways hub, and depending upon your arrival / departure times, there can be significant runway delays. As an LCC, you should be able...
I live in Raleigh, just three hours away, and have never been. I knew the DC-3 was there, but now the enticement is the DC-7. I will be in Europe the next couple of weeks, but as soon as I get back,...
I just checked the link to Internet Archive (which by the way is an interesting site to troll through for old airlines web pages)but it looks like all the photographs are gone, other than the couple...
Great site; just 'liked' it on FB.
Great shots; I wish I could take the photos you guys do. Love the TWA L-1011 and the Lufthansa DC-10. And obviously the departing clipper. Concorde is close to my heart as it is an integral part of...
Not sure whether others saw this, but it made me shake my head:
Israel’s president flies Air Canada after national carrier tries to charge him for oxygen tank...
Just signed up. It will take forever to start back logging all the flights, but this is a great tool. Thanks for posting. My year has started slowly, but three trips to Europe and back over the next...
Another magazine that I used to really enjoy in the 1980's (maybe) was Airliners International. From what I recall, it was a fairly high quality magazine. I will take a look at Airport World. I do...
About a year ago Airliners magazine seemed to just disappear. Their web site kinda indicated they would be publishing again, but I can't seem to confirm whether they are or are not publishing....
