Recently RA said he would not buy a used WB. But he also said that the 74s were not going anywhere soon[/QUOTE]


Ever to go to Mohave, CA? After seeing the thousands of old airliners there, you soon realize what "not going anywhere soon" really means. We just need to read into his words more. (good thing the FBI didn't pursue that "backpack" comment of his though).

When I was in Mohave dropping off one of our birds, the airport manager giving us a tour asked my F/O if he knew what "mohave" means. Seeing all the "fleet" parked precisely in the same direction and spotting the windmills on the horizon he keenly guessed "WIND!"
