Throwback to August 2019

Emirates A380 to return to Birmingham Airport (BHX) from Dubai (DXB) in July

i miss seeing her fly over my house in the morning and evening

the 777 is a bit mediocre i see too many

[queen herald]

777 is dogshit and everyone knows that

id rather fly a tupolev

[marble ridge]

i do like the 777 but its so boring now bc they’re everywhere

i just love their huge engines

the plane itself is lowkey ugly

[frosty crater]

of course your favorite plane is probably the C919

[woven comet]

777 is alright

[dawn sierra]

how about md-11s

[marble ridge]

love an md11

i think the last tri jet we had at birmingham other than private jets was Biman Bangladesh final DC-10 flight in 2013/14

[dawn sierra]

what you guys think is the most dumbest way to crash an airplane

for me is just leaving the plane on autopilot forever

[faint charm]

Trevor Jacob already showed us that

Crashing a plane purpose for social media clout

What a photo

[marble ridge]

i often wonder how successful ryanair would be in the us market

or if they had transatlantic operations

[lucid wren]

Probably not very

[frosty crater]

the would never do that

ryanair is low cost

and low cost airlines almost never do transatlantic

the only low cost airline that did transatlantic was norwegian air

youve got Norse now

monarch airlines did, so did thomas cook

[marble ridge]

that cloud looks like a plane

[shell grove]

is that not a plane dumping fire retardant or something?

[marble ridge]

it is

[solemn gust]

It looks like a cloud but I know what it is

[woven comet]

Not much of these types left. Only Qantas, Hawaiian, and Delta operate them

Qantas and Delta are phasing their 717s out in favor of the A220. Will be interesting to see what Hawaiian replace them with since they're used for inter-island flights. Since Southwest has began inter-island flights, that's got to have made competition down there fierce.

[left crescent]

The 717

[queen herald]

bruh 717

[frosty crater]

more people would pefer southwest over hawaiian so they would have to modernize the fleet

[idle ice]

woah

what turboprop is that

[idle ice]

Lockheed C-130J Hercules

The americans have been doing some exercises here lately

[shell grove]

makes sense

i see those pretty often bc im always near mcas miramar

[shell grove]

i wanna start an airline that flies a220s using mclellan palomar as a hub

that way san can expand

[woven comet]

Me waiting for jetBlue to start flying into Indianapolis and start up a hub here for their midwest operations: 💤

[shell grove]

idk if any of y'all are informed on the issue (im diving down the rabbit hole), but what's the solution to SAN's capacity and runway problems?

if we could make cld support some business / ga jets and some commercial traffic from san, that could free san up to more planes, and while that's happening hopefully an actual proper international airport could be built

somethinkg like cld is a lesser lga, san is a lesser ewr, and then a new jfk esque airport

does that make sense?

idk if that analogy works

[woven comet]

I don't think there really is much to expand now at SAN, you'd have to build an entirely new airport, which probably isn't feasable due to proximity to LAX

[shell grove]

it is feasible

lax is far enough to be annoying and actually just dumb to get to

plus san diego isn't the only underserved community

plus there's a fuck ton of demand predicted and san won't even be close to coping

like we actually need a new airport

it's annoying that the marine corps are so vital to us that we can't use a bit of their land for an airport

and i don't just mean at miramar

[fiery steppe]

Sheesh

[idle ice]

Cool

[shell grove]

i wonder why volaris doesn't operate to san diego

i know they have a big hub in tijuana, but they not only applied for permission to start service at san diego but they got approved

then nothing happened lmao

A warning will be issued to @queen herald for not being on an A321 before

Just a word of wisdom - if you want ground radar use FR24. FlightAware doesn't show aircraft on the ground like FR24 would.

@sleek sapphire I can book you a free ride on this flight if you want

[sleek sapphire]

-_-

Did you see what I just said in the #332479005963976705 channel?

[rare aspen]

yes

[sleek sapphire]

That number should be the one to be truly skipped ngl

[sleek sapphire]

Because it's the number that resembles Satan

[sleek sapphire]

I've been known my whole life that number resembles him, but I didn't know that the number also mean what I'm about to say... until I learned about it from my grandmother like 4 or 5 years ago

[sleek sapphire]

The number 666 also means that Satan MISSED PERFECTION 3 TIMES

[sleek sapphire]

I remember when I was in middle school (my county calls them junior high schools) back in 2018, there was this multiplication problem that I refused to answer... and the reason why is because I knew what the answer was gonna be, THAT NUMBER

I'm just quite a strict Christian, and so is my entire family... we just don't like using that number for that reason

[sleek sapphire]

Pfft and when I sometimes count, I just go from 665 right to 667

[queen herald]

666

i love it

its kinda lucky in chinese culture

lets be honest numbers don't have meaning

[sleek sapphire]

Well Christians say the number 666 does though

[sleek sapphire]

That number definitely resembles Satan and it is the number of Satan, and quite a bit of Christians (me included) say that it also means that Satan COMPLETELY MISSED and was NOT SPOT ON AT ALL with PERFECTION 3 times

But I digress, believe what you wanna believe... but I believe that is a fact ngl
