This is what I was doing in 89.

Quite honestly, I was content to fly LAX-LAS-LAX two weeks on one week off on a mail contract. However, as fate would have it, America West got the mail contract from Evergreen, I got furloughed, I didn't get hired at Continental or World, and I did get hired at UPS. And the rest is history...

Weren't most airlines the place to be and at the time pilots would "settle" for UPS, unlike now?

Look at Seattle now...looks similar to DL's former PDX operation. I just wish they still flew trijets in there...all we get in SEA these days are the MD-11/MD-10's of FedEx

You doing ok?

I still see 737-200s flying in and out of KTUS about every other week with Sierra Pacific and their contracts.

Sierra pacific still operates? Those -200's were ragged looking six years ago. I wonder how bad they look now.

They still do contracts for the USFS and the like. Same birds. Look the same too. The corporate office is about a mile from my house.

Loved the old 200's. However, did not know that FedEx had their day in the sun with them.

Good for them. That has got to be one expensive plane to still operate.

Hoping tomorrow is like having a spa day. All good, relaxing, perfect, laid back, cool, low stressed..................











And has a happy ending!!!! What, huh!?!?!

Whoa, time out. Did you say $30 for a hat at a thrift store? That would have shocked the hell out of me too.

Yes I did. Although it was on sale for a bit less.

To it's credit the owner has several exceedingly cool items there. And I tend to live a bit on the cheap side too.

This was probably my favorite special livery growing up, back when a kid could memorize all the Pokemon and before this 20,000 Pokemon mumbo jumbo rabble rabble. For a while it was used on SFO-NRT almost daily:
