Lots of thunder up in NYC.

73NA on GS#4 and it's not even mid-month.

But efficiency....or was it nps? Or efficiency??? Or nps?????

Seems like they will have to give on one or the other....and apparently they want efficiency...

This is cool. This Delta DC-7 is slowly headed to Atlanta.

I had heard last fall that they found a former Delta DC-7, but didn't realize it was actually airworthy.

It actually wasnt. Hadn't flown in years but they quietly worked it up and got a ferry permit to fly it nonstop to Atlanta. It was down south of PHX for 15 or so years without flying.

The big problem is that while yes Coolidge AZ is miserably hot, they're going to have to keep that thing in good shape in humid wet damp Atlanta.

Good luck N4887C...

I would love to see it taxi by in Atlanta. Itd be like seeing a steam engine on a railroad track.

Or be behind it when approach says you're in trail of VFR traffic, a DC-7.

FWIW if you only saw the 1 paragraph on it via this site scroll down and there is a bunch of pics from the ferry flight. It still has the first class lounge in the back but it's been cut through a couple of times.

3 new UK routes announced today all on the 767-400. 767-400 cabin mods being accelerated for the flying. Trip mix might be a bit ugly with a early morning departure to LHR.
