That is a fine looking machine. It still looks a little dumpy, I think because it sits so low.

After all the years of flying the 75/76 with a full load of pax, watching them yank and bank that thing made me a little uneasy.

One of these days, me and Timbo are going to get to do a ferry flight of an empty LR...it'll make the 787-9 takeoff angle look lame. We will also make the first turnoff in ATL when we land.

"Well, we really wanted to negotiate an historic C15...we tried our best, but the DPA and this Seeham guy prevented it."

Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and *** the prom queen.

As always, your erudite opinion and refined manners reflect on what must be have been a blessed upbringing. I appreciated the "horse's mouth" viewpoint on "this Seeham guy". He seems perfect for DPA.

Another stellar post from the resident middle-schooler, who no more represents the typical Delta pilot than Anna Nicole Smith represented the typical widow (after her 90-year old billionaire husband died).
