Hey, there's a lot of C-141s there, they have P&W engines right? Hmmm... how many people could we stuff in a C-141? How many pilots are already trained on it? Imagine landing and hearing "I guess ATL left the tug in the back again, are you going back to ATL because you can take it with you?"

Sexiest ***** to ever rule the skies boyz!:D

Well, ahem, I have flown both....sure, the MD88 is cute and sort of sassy. But the Starlifter is a real beauty....something you want to wake up to in the morning, something that makes you feel like you're a real man, not just a plaything. Ya know?

I'd love to see the Pack v. Bears for the NFC Championship. Here we come NewK! Although, I'm not ruling out SEA for a possible win. Anything is possible when Jay Cutler is your QB....anything.

Ok, so the ones "in the field" (read: giving mx fits) are the 16 that were delivered to DAL in the mid 90's, and the 3 from Hello.
The aircraft waiting on the mod lines are the 11 from China eastern, 5 from SAS/Blue 1 (I must have missed the official memo about those,) and 7 that I can't account for. Anybody know where they're comming/came from?
(why yes, I am sitting short call today! How did you know?)
That is a good question!

I think the "official count" is up to 49...

16 original DL MD-90s
33 MD90s purchased since 2007 based on fleet renewal RFP memo on DLNet.

3 Hello MD90s are on line, no IFE at all, modded to 160 seats.
Of the 30 remaining already purchased MD90s, the 11 China Eastern have been delivered and are awaiting the new Panasonic/Weber Fusion seats with integrated IFE. I'm pretty sure they are with Timco in GSO.
Not sure what the disposition of the 5 ex SAS/Blue1 ships is, the first two are ship 929 & 930.

We bought 13 from China Southern but I think 12 are still in China, here is the "craigslist" posting 13ea MD90 For sale(SOLD!!!))
The first of the 13 China Southern MD90s is the Made in China ship 965...

That leaves a discrepancy of 1 ship for the "already purchased" count...

Cheers
George
