JNU will be especially interesting this summer as they are going to close the runway and let us land on the taxiway.

This thing Boeing intends to do with the MAX, increasing nose gear length and bastardize an overworn airframe and cockpit....it has become the laughingstock of the industry.

Winglets, tailets, stabilons, and strakes, actually.
And the D model had the desired CG envelope and good speed, without resorting to a SAS.
It's a good plane, but the aesthetics are "love it or hate it," for sure!

I really wish I could have flown a Beech 1900D.

Why are we sending the 757 to an MD-88s job?
