To the best of my knowledge, Tower Air never had Tri-Stars. They had an all 747 classic fleet with some being freighters. They were based in JFK and went defunct around 2000. They did a lot of Hadj charters as well as leasing to companies like UPS. When TWA ceased their JFK-ATH service in 96, Tower took that over, as well as the Tel Aviv service. A few of my cousins flew Tower between LAX and JFK and said the interior was just attrocious. Another cousin who worked the ramp at LAX said their planes just looked old and run down. They did have one crash in 95 at JFK due to the plane sliding off an icy runway, but other than that, I don’t remember them being known as an ‘unsafe’ airline, moreso than just a plain $hitty one.

Thankx for the info he says he would prefer to fly over on a 777, he recons that the 767 is a bit cramped on his legs.

If it’s the same airline, then the seat pitch should be the same in both aircraft, therefore his argument is illogical. The only exception would be SQ in the case of their A345 having a better econo class cabin than the rest of their fleet. This is not the airline in question, however.

That engine looks brand new.

‘Bluey’ means Redhead in Aussie lingo.

What a nimrod!

This is boring. Look, your new here, first reply on threads untill you have 250 posts or so and then start your own. Questions like these passed many times here and aren’t very succesfull.

Jeanske, you obviously have no idea how to handle certain situations, and make far too many unnecessary comments. If you want to provide criticism, do so contructively. You are far from perfect, son. For instance, your handling of the Skylinerworld situation was totally unacceptable. You go and lambast the kid, when you’re only a couple of years older than he is. Grow some chest hair before you try and assert some authority, little man.

P.S. A little while back on one of your posts you commented to me, “You must be a newbie in aviation.” I’ve been an enthusiast six years longer than you’ve been alive, kid.

That is very above average, Nasir. How about the Red tail livery?

What types of ‘strict’ conditions are they referring to?
