Still thinking the original order was by Rothmeier for 330 and 340s. The 340 was canceled; during a near self inflicted bk, the 330s were delayed or swaped out for some 319/320...RA may have pulled the trigger the second time around. Do we really care? We have em, hope we get more. RA is a smart guy.

ohmygosh! A flying car! What in the world?! The military could've saved billions just buying these instead of putting all those years into the Osprey. I mean, just tell it where to go.. 500 miles... Unicorns... what could possibly go wrong? These have been on the cover of Popular Mechanics for nearly a century now.

Yep. There was a neat article in the NW flight ops magazine back when they ordered the 330 on why they chose that over the 777 or 767 to replace the DC-10-30s.

I remember reading that. It was interesting to read some of the specific details that went into the decision.
