I've taken them many rimes from DFW and LAS. Good customer service, usually on time, though the frequency is scarce and changes with the seasons as others do. Leave out of Term. D at DFW and returns which is nice as the international flts from Japan, Australia, London are sometimes there. Sorry to see the QFA A-380s #s 7-8 no longer come in here. Missed my chance to fly it to-from Sydney. oh well maybe it'll return.

Thank you all for the comps - when they repainted these it was awful - this c/s is so cool when they rolled out of Everett. I was able to get several at SFO in that era

I remember, lined up for the restroom, looking out of the window, seeing the huge input duct for the rear engine, and seeing the warnings and instructions on how to drop the stairs.

And wondering what happened to DB Cooper, and what insanity it was to hijack a plane, and jump out the back of it. Making the 727 infamous...

Beautiful shot of a classic.

Majestic! And look at all that 'stuff' hanging down.

This beastie could take the barn along with it. Beautiful example of a 'one purpose-no compromise' design. Great picture - really captures what a magnificent airplane it is!

That'll be because when you enter the tail number NZ3306 into FlightAware, it adds an ''A'' to the front of it. Can't do anything about that. Ignore it or try it yourself. All the RNZAF aircraft Ive seen have tail numbers starting with NZ.

Kenmore Air runs those Caravans from KBFI to CYCD (Nanaimo, BC) but probably not right now as the Canadian border issrill closed.

Just a beautiful shot! That's definitely an old photo, with the old Sonesta Maho in the background. That plane was used by retired NASCAR star Jamie McMurray.

Another beautiful B727. Not often do you see a -100.
Written on 2020年06月06日 by William Smith
Love the B727-200. It has to be my favorite airframe.

Very nice shot and a thank you for giving us the date.

This shot was taken from the ground, thankfully a steep enough right bank to get an 'overwing' view.

Just a couple?

G'day David, sad situation. We get 3 domestic flights a weekday and a couple on weekends at present, Jetstar and Virgin. We had been getting an SIA A350 each Wednesday morning with cargo only but from Monday 8 June, there will be passengers, supposedly only for locals to get back home, no tourists - supposedly. Those arriving will be quarantined in a city hotel for 14 days. The Monday flights won't depart until Tuesday.

Thanks for reminding us - Kenmore has some airplanes that don't have floats!! Very nice picture!

The RAF chaps who got to fly this beauty were sure fortunate compared to their buddies who drew Spitfires/Seafires off small carriers! Great picture!

When I was in college I flew a couple of times on American DC-6B's coast to coast - LAX to LGA. The DC-6's had to stop at MDW. I later had one trip on a DC-7 - LAX to IDL non-stop in only 9 hours!
Robert, Kam and DaveRK - thank you guys, and Robert, yes the 727s and the DC-9s had amazing take-off AOAs.

David - ah the 80s! Very few OH&S rules back then and pilots kept a watch for their ground crew. Remember the days when ground crew used batons to guide pilots to their positions.
Written on 2020年06月05日 by Gavin Hughes
To everyone who's commented in the last few hours - thank you for your interest and information, and still flying - great testament to the construction.

Hi Chuck, the houses are over 4 km from the threshold, and judging only from what appears to be the photographer's position, over 7 km away. With a long tele lens the distance is compressed making the background look closer. My guess is the shot may have been taken with at least a 400 mm lens, quite possibly even longer.
Written on 2020年06月05日 by Gavin Hughes
Superb. When was the photo taken?
Written on 2020年06月05日 by Gavin Hughes
Looking at Google Maps, I cannot find a place that looks like this. There are some houses across the water from the north end of the north-south runway, but they are pretty far away. The ones in this photo look closer.
