Delta Takes Delivery of Its First A321

[CFIscare]

It's got a stick… just like a fighter jet.

Just don't fly it like a fighter jet. Drives me crazy when I see guys gripping the stick like someone is about to pry it from their hands, and then precedes to fly their passenger jet like they were playing Jane's Fighters Anthology.

It's plumbed for optional aux tanks like fighter jets, too.

Similar to messages for their targets scribbled onto bombs, perhaps detachable A-321 drop tanks could accumulate some drop-zone-based graffiti.

During pre-flight prep on a flight from, say, ATL to PDX, ramp crews could could write lighthearted, morale-boosting notes to the folks around the Memphis area, who would be wise to not be directly underneath a passing A-321 a few hours later as it jettisons it's first pair of depleted drop tanks in order to step climb from FL280 to FL300.

"west memphis targeted"

"roger.. jettison tanks on my mark." .... "mark"

"climb to FL230, continue on the ERLIN."

You gots to go lower tech if you want to low tech me....nuthin' like ordering a pizza, driving to go get it and eating it while the cassette taped loaded.

Wasn't that low tech. This was my "almost failed out of college" excuse. Fire up the Commodore 64, have that new pizza place, "Papa John's" deliver a pie, and binge out!

 

[Cherokee_Cruiser]

You people are old.

NES is about as far back as I'm willing to go and even that was like 1988ish.

 

[Der rote Baron]

For me that looks like Grandpa is talking about the good old times

 

[CFIscare]

Loved this game!

I would judge you if you didn't.

 

[CFIscare]

How come no one has brought this game up yet?
