I posted these in a thread a while ago so this is just a repost:

727 = Jurassic Jet
737 = Guppy
EMB-135/140/145 = Jungle Jet, Barbie Jet, Pencil Jet
Beech 1900 = “The Mighty Beech” or a Twin Beech if you really want to tee off the pilots
EMB-120 = The Bra-Killa’ or Brasildo
ATR-42/72 = Pig (it has a flat front and a pointy tail or the 42-320 because of it’s ability to plug up the flow of traffic with it’s awful climb/cruise/decent performance. The controllers love them. )
Avro/BAe-146 = BAC Jet
MD-80 = Mad Dog
Metroliner = Death Tube
Saab 340 = Slob
Fokker 70 = Baby Fokker
Fokker 100 = Mother Fokker
DC9 = Diesel 9
Jetstream 31 = Junkstream
Dornier 328Jet = DoJet or Doh’ Jet (for the Simpsons fans)

non-airliner:

Cessna Citations = Slowtations (with the X being the exception)
Learjet = Near Jet

On all my PA’s this week I made sure to add the ground/flight speed as per the advice given here. I never thought a pax would care but it seems I was wrong so thanks for the input SOFTLAD.

wysiwyg, I had my new digital camera out for the trip this week but as luck would have it it was solid overcast for the entire trip thanks to the last tropical storm to hit the US. I did get some ground to ground photos so I’ll have to post those.

Hey it worked! Looking at it now the picture doesn’t do the flight justice. I needed a better camera and I should have taken a picture with at least a wing in the frame so you could tell that it wasn’t taken from a C172 or something.

Ok a couple days off and I’m giving it another go…

don’t get your hopes up the picture will end up being a disappointment. 🙂

Wow, JAL makes up 34% of Boeings 2003 commerical orders? Looks like they have a great relationship going there.

The only reason we had 2 pilots in each of the C152’s was one of them was a spotter. Passengers are forbidden in the FAA as well.

Here’s a picture I took during the tour. It’s not the best scan but you get the idea.

Let’s see if I can post a picture……

…guess not, darn.

The best PA I was a part of definately wasn’t from me. On a flight into Buffalo, New York we were early and ask/recieved permission to fly the Niagara Falls tour. The Captain let the folks know what we were doing and gave them an opportunity to move to the appropriate side of the airplane. I decended to 2000′ AGL and spend 5 minutes circling the falls as the Captain (who lived most of his life in the Niagara Falls area) gave a great tour. He pointed out landmarks and gave the history of falls and those landmarks. We all learned a lot. I must say that the passengers loved it. A lot took pictures and a few even took video of the flight. Very cool.
