And, no: we're not talking about the one the Bandit drove.

I'd say that The Firebird, like sparky, has to do with the battery issues on the 787.

It will never look that good. Just keep staring at those Benjamins.

Years ago, there was a maintenance page in Unimatic that had all the nicknames. It included DC-10s and 747 Classics.

I can't remember many of them. I still have that "Unimatic Guidebook" someplace...I think they are in there. If I find it, I'll share.
