I was lucky enough to fly Zurich-Bangkok on Thai MD-11’s a few years ago, usually HS-TME. From the passenger point of view they were even more dated than Thai’s 747’s, but I loved them because there was always something “different” about them, ie compared to the endless Boeings and Airbuses. Always had a soft spot for the DC-10/MD-11 ever since my first ever widebody flight with National (who were then being absorbed into PanAm in (I think) 1980. Never flown Finnair, but I remember seeing one of their 757’s at Phuket and thinking it seemed an odd type for that length of route.

RA-5C Vigilante. A real beauty, IMHO.

Kerosene junky I can live with, but LWS-4 Zubr? Charming…

I’m glad, honoured, privileged and lucky to be alive in your days, Kate. You have always been and will always be the most wonderful of the wonderful.

I say, steady on old man, what?!

Can’t see anything, but it sounds interesting. Can you post again, please? Thanks.

I am still waiting for the day I see a UFO so that I can belive:cool:

Ditto paranormal stuff. Funny how despite the proliferation of CCTV, camcorders, mobile phone cameras etc, all we ever get is a few seconds of shaky out of focus pictures. Always just enough to be intriguing, but never enough to be conclusive.
