With all the news out of Paris, I was trying to find some vintage footage from the last century showing anything in the Delta fleet and ran across this ... wow an engine that makes a JT8D quiet by comparison.

Sorry about the size.
Kind of reminds me of this one

Hey guys loyal Delta flier whenever I can. I follow many of the discussions on codeshare and how it affects you guys. I just tried to book a ticket to Paris and it was difficult to get there without riding on Air France (even through ATL) , which I absolutely do not want to do.

I ended up going home - Atlanta - Newark - Paris. Three legger to stay Loyal to DAL and avoid AF.

Two hour layover in each airport, so crossing fingers to not missing a connection.

I am curious as to your aversion to Air France.

Do you try to fly on a US carrier, or have you had bad service on AF, etc.?

Just curious!

AF is not an airline I have any desire to ever ride on. Some of the regionals we codeshare with are sketchy, and AF is just as sketchy. I'm pretty sure they've been the first to wreck most of the aircraft types they operate currently.

I flew the swept wing version of this in Navy flight training - the TF-9J Cougar jet. I must be old.
