RE: Thanks Everyone
Well if we’re gonna get pedantic we’ll say that as AIH had some sort of majority ownership of Premiair, and the a/c was the transferred to the UK DIV and almalgamated into MYT we’ll say the 8th owners were something along the lines of David Crossland holdings!!

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 18-11-02 AT 11:11 PM (GMT)]Dont like to repeat myself but neither Airtours/MyTravel can be the 8th operator as Premier had her for a good few years.G-BYDA ex OY-CNO.

RE: Thanks Everyone
Preston – if it was a 757 rather than a 767 it would have to be a 300 to have a tail skid.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 17-11-02 AT 08:41 PM (GMT)]Thanks to all who took part..
I was going to base it all on the December 2002 issue of Airliner World and had to just throw in some random questions as well because international readers (and there are a lit of you) may not have your copies for a few days yet.
Here’s the answers..
1. Was meant to ask what the two tallest in the US were – so as we now know, Kuala Lumpur is the tallest in the world and Denver and Orlando are taller than JFK in the USA.
2. It is a Cameroon Airlines 767-300. I saw the airline featured in Dec 02 issue of Airliner World and thought this would be a good one to feature.
3. Norweigan Air Shuttle.
4. It is an Ariana Afghan 727 cropped nicely enough to deceive you! The 737 and the 727 are very alike as all know and a couple of you thought it was a 737 – well done to A330Crazy for getting both halves of the question right!
5. MyTravel DC-10. I wouldn’t say it was on it’s eighth operator now. Airtours to MyTravel was a re-branding job, not being passed on to a new airline.
6. Again, it’s a Norweigan Air Shuttle aircraft. A 737.
7. Air Canada – dreadful look but they have it to celebrate a 65th year of operations.
8. British Airways Concorde – A few strawberrys and a kiwi fruit!! Surely we expect more from BA and what is probably the most expensive aircraft to travel on in the world!

5)My Travel DC-10.
6)Norweigian Air Shuttle B737-300

RE: A Quiz
Preston your not counting that that a/c was operated by Premier OY-CNO before it went to Airtours as G-BYDA.

Lyndon.

RE: A Quiz
the cameroon – it’s got a tail bumper so i think 763 as mentioned above… but it mite b a 752 tail :s
By: EGNM - 17th November 2002 at 11:23
RE: A Quiz
1. In the States i think he means therefore Denver and Orlando,
2. Yep agreed Cameroon B763
3. LN-BRU if we’re gonna b precise – not sure if it’s fleetwide with NAS
4. Boeing 737
– hmm can’t find a similar pic in the magazine – all the other questions seem to b orientated from their today!
5. G-BYDA – now is this it’s 8th operator cos Mytravel is the corperate branding although it’s still owned by Airtours International as the AOC! – i can be awkward!!
6. NAS B733
7. Air Canada C-FFWN
8. Dunno – guess at Cathey for the hell of it
