We also have 1xDC-7. I’ve seen it at the hangar. Not sure where it flies to. :D

I believe they're putting in all Delta One seating.

they should run it Atl-MCO-Atl once daily. Full white glove treatment. Retro uniforms for flight crew. That would be a cool way to go to Disney...

You would actually have to look out the window, with the noise and vibration , earbuds and tablet would be rendered useless. Maybe they would reintroduce the "Three cigarette pack" on the dinner trays.

probably should have started in the profile section rather than searching in the forum posts. Found the following, but i'm still curious how accurate it is?
  • 45 orders for a220-100 and 50 orders for a220-300
  • boeing 737-900er deliveries continue through 2019 for a total of 130
  • 122 a321ceo being delivered at 2-3 per month until 2020.
  • 35 a330-900 neo started in 2019
  • 15 a350-900 deliveries started 2017, 10 deferred
  • just ordered 100 a321neos and 100 options. Deliveries begin in 2020.
  • 10 350's postponed by 2 to 3 years. 30 extra. 321 order on june 20th at paris air show.

*37 a330-900

Can you smoke cee-gars with the u-fly? The head set was left over from the B-17 with the rubber ear cups. You hung the mike on the side window handle and let it dangle. Always sit on a DAL blankie.(Keeps your pants from becoming shiny from contact with the rich red Corinthian leather.) Copilot's window was the basic outflow valve so you froze your toccus off in the winter.

Here’s another idea. The Navy has the Blues. Air Force have the thunderbirds. At their roots, they are about recruiting. Supposedly there is a pilot shortage coming, maybe Delta should be going to air shows, fly-ins, etc with the DC-7 to recruit pilots?
