It’s been pretty quiet without the mad dog. But aren’t the 170/175’s the new replacement?

LGA should be next. LGA is always good for a quick dip.

LGA should be next. LGA is always good for skidding off a runway.

People still flying into there?? Dang, EWR seemed like it was getting all the traffic while I was down that ways in Nov/Dec.

Nah, I believe the Airbus 319/320/321s with the twisty nosewheel failures to take the lead over embraer steer fails. If not now, then soon!

Is there still an emergency exit out the back? I didn't think the 717 had the aft exit. Some pics had stairs pulled up and the tailcone popped off

Sure hope so. If not that’s some fine cutting done by the Airport rescue squad.

I mean, what do you think? You’re literally looking at photographic evidence of something and you’re asking us if it exists?

Do you think this is photoshopped or something?
