I saw her on the ramp in ANC last night. I think they were doing loading training because her big "mouth" was open with a loader up to it. I've seen the pictures, but she looks prettier in person! I got wood I just wish you could make money with 747s'

so far they apparently burned out the nose loader motors and dented it with a K loader. Don't you hate getting a new toy and having it break?

Congrats Brown, that is a beautiful addition to your fleet. I have never met a 747 pilot who didn't love the aircraft.

By the way, are any of you familiar with the electronic flight bag that is installed? Is it a Jepp product, LIDO, or something else?

Some sort of a Boeing product I think. We start getting them retrofitted to our 767's now.

The 767 is going to have to wait until they put the EFB's in the DC-8.
