Good point! I know that 5-6 years ago Crossair did a plastic Saab that was about 7″ long (or at least that was what they told the ladies 😉 ).

If anyone knows where to get a Saab 340 model (any airline as Aurigny don’t do one but a preference for Crossair as I trained with them) could you let me know. Is there any way I could get Aurigny transfers and put them on a model?

Very well done. That’s also one step closer to getting your hands on your own Yak 11!

Watch out everyone, Moondance is going to get sentimental! 😀

Well I too would have thought that you could bring the toilets back upstairs without too much difficulty but apparantly they would need to go back to Toulouse and it would be an almighty job!

Peter T – ‘I do agree that TCX probably regret having bought the 753s. Overexpansion, it has killed many airlines in the past and will kill many more in the future.’ It wasn’t a mistake due to overexpansion but a mistake due to having taken the wrong type. We would have been so much better of with a pair of 767’s.

The autothrottle disconnect buttons on the 757 are identical in feel and position to the go around buttons on the Saab 340. When I first started flying then 757 on line I once accidentally pressed the go around button instead of the disconnect. The thrust levers tried to come up but I just held them back and pressed the disconnect button. No great shakes, just bizarre how it can be left unchecked long enough to turn it into an accident.

The usual exceedingly high standard. Great stuff.
