If it was a pre-merger DL 757, yep! I never flew any of the pre-merger NW 757s, as my last day on the fleet was our first day able to "cross-fleet."

Had to swing into the DMA boneyard for a bit.

Tsk tsk....bad forum etiquette, bro. There's no such thing as a ragged out 757. She's simply "broken in".

Soon...real soon. I have the park plan for the next three years for all fleets. I think 3 at the end if the month. I'll let you know.
When are the MD-88/90s done? With AA starting to rapidly retire that fleet....mostly to ROW from what I understand, although one ended up at GYR somehow.
Not until the waiver for NEXTGEN complaince gets turned down.
Pretty soon here, Delta will have more of those in the fleet than AA will. I'd have thought the 757-200s would stick around longer than the MD-88s are at your shop...

Several 757s coming back online. It's the new DC-9.

The effectiveness of aerial supression just has to be seen to be appreciated. Some years back, I lived in Riverside CA, and commuted (ground) past a covered landfill hillside. One fire season, it caught. Looking up the hillside, I could see green vegetation, an orange supression stripe, and gray ash that had burned.

Describes the majority of the planes here on the field.
One of Bob's better efforts. Some of my other favorites:

While it's not a Bob Rivers song, no comedy song conversation is complete without a call out to Cows with Guns:
