Re: Airbus sucks too

Well, Lukla is at about 9000ft. So depending where you were, you might have been at a lower altitude than in Peru.

Re: The PROPER way to run an airline.

Was offered an upgrade AF, Business to First, LAX -CDG, '95. Asked if could smoke there, answer no. Thanks, but no thanks.
Ten mins later, "Mr. Bertelsen, it's OK, you may smoke in our First, you will be the only one there."
Happy days. :mrgreen:

Re: Railroad Thread

Steam is most beautiful and massive.

Re: No More Articles about the P210N

On a second thought... 1250 lb of useful load A cruise speed of 200 kts with a stall speed of 53 kts. A rate of climb of 2000 fpm A range of 2600 NM Is not a typical combination of characteristics for a certified airplane. Especially not one with an empty weight of 1600 lb and 200 HP. I kinda doubt...

Ilooked in this forum and in the military one and couldn't find a thread about the IL 76 that crashed in Algeria on April 11th.
