Call me old fashioned...

Its the URS Corp flights for the USAF into Area 51. Actually that's the older -200, using -600's now.

Yes, its JANET. The 737-200's came from Western (some of them) hence the paint scheme.

And now they're parked down the flightline from one of my offices.

Plain, Simple and Unreadale to 90%

Had an interesting flight on this from LED to CDG a few years back...

Cabin crew announcements and Instructions in Russian and French only. I suck at French but knew enough Russian to get through it.

We did go missed at CDG at about 200ft AGL. never heard the gear come down before it, or go up during the missed, but heard it loud on the second try.....Methinks I know why we went missed the first time.

All over an interesting flight, only slightly less interesting than 2 hours on this thing...

AN-24?

AN-24?

Yep. SIP to KPB. Don't let the shiny paint fool ya. Full of lap patches everywhere. Inboard mains are thread showing, outboards have some tread. Pilots were using the bagage area (betweeen cockpit and Economy seating) as their private smoking lounge

 

[ScorpionStinger]

Ah yes, here it is, an A319 but it's no 727!!

NOW THIS IS JUST PLANE GORGEOUS!!!! LOVE IT!

This is also a pretty goofy paint job. I liked the gray version better. Allegiant paint also sucks.

Pro Air! WHOAAAAH! Aren't you too young to remember that one?

Chasen, you just earned about 900 "cool" points with that reference.

Hey, don't underestimate my nerdom.

 

[ChasenSFO]

Unfortunately, not the case.....coincidentally speaking that you happened to bring up midairs specifically. Granted, it was their older scheme, and maybe its one reason they went to the banana.

Older scheme? I was under the impression that after the merger that created Hughes Airwest, the initial and final livery was yellow. I know the previous Air West had white fuselages and different colored tails.

I loved this livery, only if they could've had any consistency across paint jobs. The tail always seemed to be slightly different and they white/silver color was always different.

It was Hughes Air West in 1970, and the new scheme didn't come out until late 1971, with the the Air west scheme being kept until then, from what I understand.

I hate to say it, but a lot of the good liveries are not in the US

 

[crazyjaydawg]

I'm an AZ fan-boy but I think a lot of the Cactus 757s looked really cool.

Maybe it's just that I love 757s?
