    Globespan were never going to YYZ anyway, they were going to Hamilton because YYZ’s landing fees are so high i guess

    Yeh, the Airteamimages photo of the Stargazer L1011 (oops i just realized i put DC10 before 😮 ) it is in the same position as it is now so it has been stored there for quite a while looking at a.net!

    Tartan – yes, it is the funny looking hedgehog thing lol 😀
    Rutan made this http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1127890/L/ C-9 Rotary Rocket which apparently was supposed to go into space too, but the project was abandoned due to lack of cash and now resides at Mojave!

    Cheers,

    Yeh, we got there and my dad and brother walked up to the gate and it opened lol :D, we could of walked right on to the airfield! It shut again about a minute later then Bob walked out and told us about the tour so we took it!
    Bob would let us take pics of the ones that were basically scrap metal, eg the Hawaiian DC10, KLM 747-200, Gemini DC10, Delta Tristar which all had logos and the liveries still on, but in another area was the Air Canada 767’s, Southwest 737-200’s and Zip 737-200’s which the airlines allowed no pics apparently :rolleyes:
    There is alot of interesting and weird stuff inc Convair 990 (as you come in to the airport), a Roton C9 Rocket supposed to launch into space which never did. Also, while I was there the Orbital DC10 was there (N140SC)

    One thing I found out is they keep the doors open on all aircraft so that the planes can breath as when the sun gets in, it makes the interior very hot and will wear it away, even though they do find all sorts inside eg birds and other creatures

    Thanks

    Cheers Tartan, very helpful 🙂
    Plus at Mojave they build and fly the aircraft that are built like the Virgin GlobalFlyer machine, can’t remember what they call them but they are funny looking aircraft! Just call them experimental aircraft lol. Also, when I was there DC9 N932ML was there, which is an electronic testbed aircraft which was actually being worked on

    Omg! Things just keep getting sillier year by year… how can you mistake a runway with a taxiway especially at a big airport, I mean it might not be that bad at a small regional airport but Newark 😮
    Glad everything went smoothly and there wasn’t a taxi-tastrophe! 😀

    I would recommend these pilots be suspended and maybe re-trained as this could of turned out a disaster

    Freebird and Volar are still flying… Volar are the ex LTE

    Just look at all the new airlines to get airbus’s that have been a success though, eg Vueling, Easyjet etc
