    Pf, It’s just a modernised DC-9-30 or -40. Olympic Aviation recently took them out of service. It was too small fleet. I don’t know where they are now.
    Hawaiian used some on their inter-island routes, but because of a fall in demand, some were returned to Boeing.

    If it exists… I don’t believe it exists.
    Oops.

    Thanks. Since the flame will pass less than one kilometer away from my house, It would bestupid if I’d miss it, so i’m gonna watch in an hour. I’ll maybe post pictures if I’ll be able to take some, at the General Discussion forum.

    Just heard that the flame travels alone with a few guards on the one 742, and the other probably contains it’s followers.

    It arrived this morning on two flights from Montreal. Both flight codes were ABD but there is no info about the airline.
    The numbers were ABD 001 and ABD 002, both aircraft were an extremely, but then an extremely super extremely rare 747-200 pax version visiting Brussels! Both 747’s arrived with half hour between them.

    Olympic calls their fleet after Greek gods, at least that was so with the 73C.
    http://www.airliners.net/open.file/478653/L/
    The first one Dyonisus, the second one Hephaistos, and I cant read any further.
    There was also Poseidon, Hercules, Hermes, Triton, Phoebus, Nireus. Not sure these are all.
    The last 73C left the Olympic fleet in 2003, when 6 were parked in Eleftherios Venizelos. Maybe they are sold in the meanwhile.

    The IL 62 has a tailwheel, but that is extended when the aircraft leaves the runway, and is retracted at a speed high enough (on TO) to let the elevators push the nose down. Because of the acceleration force, the tailwheel is even more needed on take off. This is all because of the heavy weight of the engines.

    Do they still have 732’s? Planning to be retired? What about the 737SG’s?

    It aint too bad, but if the A321 has a tail bumper, looks like it completely slided away.
    What’s the callout by the PNF for a tailstrike? How come the FBW system doesn’t avoid a tailstrike?

    Fascinating airplane. The flaps don’t look very aerodynamical. Very basic. Doesn’t it have a high landing speed?

    Astraeus operate(d)? a weekly service to Malabo, Equatorial Guinea. That’s with a 737-700, which has a maximum range of just over 6000 km. I think LGW-Malabo is about 5800 km.

    Surprising how light cabins are only with the windows. Or don’t I see a light source? IS it also done in daylight?
