Kinda makes you wonder if the 757-200 has twice the number of brakes, wheels and tires for a reason ...

Have to say, as much as I thought I would like the -900 ... not a fan.

Forget about saving whales, tatas, the environment ... SAVE THE 757s!

And what is it with the 737's always going off the taxiway/runways?

I was going to bid it as my retirement jet but I just don't like off-roading all that much! :eek:

We work for lawyers and accountants, not aviation pioneers. Our grandfathers flew higher and faster... in more ways than one. :D

BA 744 into a building in JNB.

This is what I always think is about to happen with that fence on the southeast ramp in DTW.

No worries, that'll buff out

Most 737's CA (like 99.99%) of them run the APU to start #1 unless the APU is deferred.

What is the deal with extending the life of the 757's?:confused:

Single engine taxi in slippery conditions? I sure hope not.
