I saw the -9 cockpit for the first time deadheading the other day. I'm sorry guys......but it looks like a Nazi U-Boat. ;)

Buzz, that's the beauty of it!

BUT...when you fly it, you have to wear your hat, and put the headset on over the top of that, and squeeze your throat when you talk, just to keep the vintage look alive!

Yes. Even got permission for a long landing and rollout. :D

I thought we don't use bayonets anymore. We have ships that planes take off and land on.

I'll betcha that would cost jobs.

Hurricane Sandy Airport Delays and Closures Live Updates


LGA

LaGuardia is closed with no planned reopening time. Several feet of water from Flushing Bay made it all the way to the terminals, which could mean damage to everything from the runway lighting to the jetways to the baggage handling equipment, and therefore a possible long wait before normal operations can resume.

i believe its "we have planes that ships can takeoff and land on."
