Just to clarify, that's a picture of a A321NEO with geared turbofans. No new ones on the market yet.

Ours will be. Correction, are rumored to be.

Ferry flights will involve cleaning 4 pounds of potting soil out of the high stage compressor and relocating the local bird population from the hydraulic actuator bays. Erosion, Corrosion ... Schmo-sion. Double check the bypass ducts ... no telling what, or who, ... ah' well, it probably still has a better dispatch rate than a 787 (which was designed after Boeing acquired Douglas, BTW) Bring a trailer ....

I wanna go back four decades, when new airplanes looked like this:



Yeah, I know what you are going to say and I've got a whole lot, but who cares, it is pretty and flies nice.

They were probably getting the airplane ready to return to Mexico City.

Aeromexico operates a B767 between Mexico City and Narita.

M 0.92 in the descent no problem. I heard the engines were very slow to start, & smoked so much they caused IFR conditions at the field.

But I would've loved to fly it.
