    Another Continental 737 but this time it’s a NG.

    I was having some trouble shooting a mostly white airplane against an overcast sky on a snowy day. 🙂

    I flew with my first FFDO (Federal Flight Deck Officer) this week. I’m impressed.

    I woke up yesterday to -18C with a forcasted high of -15C. Windchill was being reported as low as -37C. I was hoping to take some pictures at work of the cold weather ops but it was just too darn cold outside. Today is a heat wave with temperture around -12C for the high. If this is the weather coming your way, bundle up cause it’s brutal out there. I don’t even want to imagine what it’s like in the Great White North (Canada). Brrrrr…

    I don’t regard it as one.

    What is your definition of a Regional Jet?

    The FMS screens could be LCD.

    I’ve heard that the turning windows will no longer be available on the 737’s, similar to the 717. I guess Boeing found that pilots don’t use them and eliminating them lowers cost so off they go.

    I guess the question is was the AN-2 designed to be a commericial aircraft used by the countries airline(s)? If not, then it can’t be included in the total. It would be similar to Grumman claiming that they built a fire fighting aircraft since their Avengers are used in such a manner now.

    Some Cessna’s are used by smaller airlines, the Cessna 208, 402 and 441. Does that mean that since 50 aircraft of those models are used in such a manner that the other 2000 built in those series would also be counted as a commerical aircraft production? No. Same would hold true for the An-2. My guess is that the Colt wasn’t pushed off the assembly line to be used by the airlines. It was modified later to fill a role at a commerical operation but that wouldn’t mean the other 5,000 would be called commerical aircraft.

    Is the An-2 used as a commercial aircraft? I’m guessing NO so that wouldn’t count towards the Antonov commerical aircraft numbers.

    If you do want to count non-commercial aircraft then I still think that Boeing would blow the socks off Antonov. Between 1940 and 1945 how many Boeings rolled off the assembly lines?

    Golfer Arnold Palmer has been a Cessna Citation pilot for decades and now has a Citation X. Heck they named the local airport after him, lucky dog.
