I hate to sound naive but, where’s Ringway? Also, that 753 looks even longer from that angle!

Ok Kabir, you can joke too. 🙂 Now somebody please delete one of the 2 posts.

One of you 2 can delete the thread. Just click on edit then delete.

Is the tail supposed to be a Scottish flag and the Greek flag w/out the 9 stripes, depending on which angle you look at it?

Excellent quality Andrew. I remember reading about Manston in Airlinerworld a year or so back. Are those DC-8’s up top parked in the grass?

Greece Airways maybe.

What is the deal with this? It has a Greek registration. :confused:

Why do people fly such short distances? By the time you have checked in for the flight and then disembarked and passed through the destination airport, wouldn’t it have taken at least 3 or 4 times as long as going by road?

Over 95% of the time I fly United, Michael, I fly the ONT-LAX leg at the start and end of my journey. ONT being a 5 minutes drive from my house, plus $6 a day for parking make this very feasible. With no traffic and driving like a madman, it would take me 45-50 minutes to drive to LAX. With traffic, forget about it, 2 hours+. It’s just so much easier. I’d rather be relaxing in UA’s Red Carpet Club throwing down a few during a layover than sitting on the 60 Freeway where there is traffic about 80% of the time, in either direction. Anybody that lives in the 909, not-unlike myself, that flies United is so much better off starting their journey in ONT rather than driving to LAX. Not to mention, a little 10 minute 47 mile flight gets me 500 MP miles each segment. Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about! 😀
