The State University currently has a former United 727, which is going to be scrapped soon…

Great pictures. Just to clarify, the American Eagle ERJ is their 100th delivery not the 100th ERJ. The 100th ERJ built went to ExpressJet Airlines.

Do you mean cicadas, the grasshoppers that make an infernal racket as they call to each other?

Actually it’s trees I’m thinking of, must be Sequoias then ?
