Also, will the merged AMR and UA be called "American Airways" or is that just too perfect?

A Croatia Airlines pilot was forced to use butter in order to close the forward door on the carrier’s Dash 8 Q400 on a flight to Istanbul. Passengers observed as the pilot and cabin crew smeared butter over the latch which wouldn’t close properly. The aircraft landed safely in Istanbul where the problem was fixed. The jet passed all technical requirements for its return flight to the Croatian capital. The incident occurred on Wednesday on flight OU350.

Also, Willard "Mitt" Romney; You are worth $200,000,000. One can buy a decent low-time 733 for under $5,000,000 USD nowadays. Why are you flying a plane as old as I am?

The mass casualty plan for a local university involved us landing the aircraft on the campus' football field, an artificial turf field. This makes a lot of sense, as it's a nice open and well-lit space. Thankfully people with an actual brain in their heads called it off before any pricey PW206 turbines were destroyed from FOD. You see, artificial turf fields contains millions of little rubber pellets...

Linedance posted:777 is either triple seven, or triple, or just "trip" for brevity's sake. I thought it was always the first two number of the type, then the model number. So a 777-300ER would be a 773ER

MrChips posted:Preaching to the choir here I know, but i'll expand on this a bit. The worst part of a second-hand fleet is that there are enough differences between individual aircraft that it seems like nothing is the same. Each airline specs their aircraft slightly different to one another (or really different to one another, if you're dealing with ex-TWA aircraft), so you'll find yourself in a situation where an LRU in one aircraft doesn't work in another aircraft, or a certain system has a special maintenance procedure that could be unique to that one particular aircraft, which creates nothing but hassle, even if you know about it beforehand. Is this not also true with the 75 though, since they were developed in tandem?

The Locator posted:Got linked this from a friend. Flickr album of the DC-7 that flew Lady Bird Johnson around. It's been sitting on the tarmac at the Goodyear airport since 1976 waiting for restoration (guessing it's never happening given the 36 years it's been waiting now). Aircraft look better with HF antennas strung from nose to tail.
