Re: ANA 744: zonder winglets?

Dat klopt. Dat zijn B747-400D's; dat zijn -400's in "high density" configuratie die alleen voor binnenlandse vluchten in Japan worden gebruikt. Voor die relatief korte vluchten op relatief lage hoogte voegen winglets niet veel toe.

Re: Chania/Souda (LGSA/CHQ) - 2010 MIL

preserved Corsair at the US side is 160873. It was first seen there in August of 2008 (as I did), and still reported there in 2009. In 2008, I could easily read it when taxiing out aboard an airliner heading home (take off to the west) as we passed very close to it. According to other sources, 15993...

Rond 1300lt kwam er een B757 of A321 over Almere (in/uit de wolken); hij zat een paar minuten voor de Cyprus A320. Weet iemand toevallig welke?

Dat mag :mrgreen:

en ja, hij zat hier boven (net ten noorden van) Almere precies lang genoeg in een fraai stukje blauwe lucht om te zien wat 't was, maar Casper en Geluidsnet hielden t vandaag cryptisch.


Thanks

Re: Finnish F/A-18C turned into F/A-18D

Unfortunately, respected magazine Flight International got their facts mixed up... As we know, it is not a case of an F-18D that was repaired with parts of an F-18C, but the airframe of an F-18C that was converted into an F-18D. Furthermore, AFAIK it was "officially" nicknamed "Frankenplane" and not...

Re: Finnish F/A-18C turned into F/A-18D

(...), but I get the idea about leasing) Well, you get the drift. Probably would have been cheaper (in retrospect) to refit a Canadian CF-188B with a new F-18D cockpit ordered from McBoing... As for the 100.000 man hours: that was also what was mentioned in the press releases after this bird was ro...

:shock: well, if that's not a case of "Murphy's law" I don't know what is :shock: That must have been the most expensive 3-month usage of an airplane the Finnish AF ever had. In the end, it just might have been cheaper to lease one from the US, Canada or elsewhere :| this is the same news story, but...
