Hand, I’ve heard Joe Theisman say that on a commercial before, but what does it mean?

So is it better to have engine exclusivity as long as they are Trents, a la the A340-500/600, and not GE’s?

What a bargain at $82.5 million per copy. I had no idea that UA had parked so many 744’s. Glad to see one member of Star helping another generate some much needed cashflow. You’ll know right away in Thai colours which are the ex UA examples. Those will have Pratt’s whereas Thai’s original deliveries have GE’s.

That’s right. I think there was an ariticle in one of the magazines on it lately, which is where I’ve seen a picture of that tower.

I like the LH ones. Which airport is this? That old tower looks familiar.

Not as fat? Well, they do have the same fuselage cross section, and yes, the MD-11 is in fact longer than the DC-10. The winglets are very visible, and to anyone who has X-Ray vision a la superman, can peek inside the flight deck to see the 3rd crew member. For those of us that have normal vision, that’s a little impossible. So no, I won’t be looking for the 3rd crew member any time soon in order to distinguish between the 2.

Nice! Was it UA905 on the outbound, by any chance? Also, was it a 777 or a 763? I’m glad to see that United is getting some love by someone (2 members no less!) other than me.

Looks like they’re offering biplane rides on that 757. Those canards, theoretically, act as the upper wing, hence the biplane designation.
