Yeah, it just seems like the entire 9 fleet is the right airplane for the shuttle. But I guess knowing what I know and knowing what they know, they'd done that by now if it was right. Just seems right in terms of size, so what about noise given its over water and I'm too lazy to look up noise restrictions for either and for every takeoff and landing I think it only counts as .25 cycles for some reason. You can't out cycle a 9 and if we flew the 30s and 40s to 41 years then the 9-50 at a 32 year average age has some years left to run the shuttle.
They don't like us (the 9) in NYC. They like all their radar blips to be in orderly lines apparently.....
