I beg to differ Keltic. E-tickets eliminate all the nonsense of paperwork. Show the agent your I.D., she asked you all the security questions, takes your baggage if any, gives you the boarding pass, and you’re on you’re way. I travel over 50,000 miles per year, most of which is on E-tickets. I’m in and out of there in no time.

Nice job Comet! Excellent pics. Even though I’ve never flown on the type, you gotta’ love the Bae-146 with it’s high mounted wings that don’t obstruct the view below. You also gotta’ love a woman indulging in aviation photography. That’s almost unheard of in my parts! Nice job again Comet. I find it interesting that AC use older 767-200’s on Euro routes, as I also saw one at AMS a few days ago. I would think, like other N. American carriers, those would have been relegated to strictly domestic duty by now.

Indeed, I see Airlinerworld at most news agencies when I’m in Australia.

As for Grrek ATC when in Heraklion i couldn’t undertsnad hardly a word of the greeks – they speek so fast, esp when talking to the OA B732s or Aegean/Cronus B734/RJ100s!

DAMN GREEKS!!!

I purchased my copy from WHSmitties in LHR, so I would imagine others would carry it, as well.

That might have been the case. Either way, haven’t the ETOPS rating been reinstated for them at this point?

As far as I know, it doesn’t take much for a pilot typerated on the 737-3/4/500 to get typerated on the NG’s. As far as the older classics go, not too many of those are around anymore anyhow. Besides, do any airlines operate the 737-1/200 and the NG’s to where this would be an issue?

The DC-10 used to belong to Skyservice USA, if I’m not mistaken. I used to see it at SFO about 2 years ago. Why did it have the Airtours colours?
