New N1KE...Nike Company Plane

[mikecweb]

That spells out NIKE on a phone. Good catch, I never thought of that until now.

Yup. Their Falcon 2000 used to wear this tail number.
Ok. I'll stop now.

Trivia time.
Why is it N6453?

Fixed it for you, or whatever acronyms the kids use today...

BTW whats up with all the Gulley avatars?

 

[mikecweb]

My opinion the best of the Nike paint jobs.

Because it's easy to rip on him? Why else?

Michael, that's actually an interview question for Nike Flight Ops...

Nike hangar at HIO:

Here's to hoping one day my high school's teachers wife can help me get a job there...(she was VP nike north america retail).

Regardless that's one good looking plane and so shiny!!

 

[mikecweb]

SurferLucas how'd you think I knew!? Haha

 

[Apophis]

WHOA! The plane is equipped with Nike Pro-Combat wings! Crazy!

Very nice! I got to see the previous N1KE less than two months ago. It's still around.

Why doesn't the GS have slats?

Depending on how light you are in a G-450, yes it will.

Worked great in the Hawker as well.

"Beagle Flight 3142, turn right 20 degrees, you're overtaking a Citation at your 12 o'clock..."

Almost ran a Beagle over with an Eclipse this week. Beagle had an eight mile head start too.

Yeah, you read that right. An ECLIPSE.

Er, they're flying at a very safe speed, sir.

Er, they're flying at a very safe speed, sir.

For a prop route, yes.

SLOWING to 200KTS out of 10K? Cute.

Three in three days.

True story.

 

[Area 5150]

I hate rich people!

But, one day, I plan on hating myself and owning a T-38. Hoping Hack or MikeD are gonna show me what all those switches do.
I do know that CNTl+ALT+DELETE makes things change!

Try again. PLEASE PLEASE don't compare a Citation XL to a real jet.

Because it doesn't cruise out at .8+ in FL's? pssssht. It all looks the same from up there. Don't knock it until you've tried it. It might not climb like the Lear you flew before but I bet it ain't far from it. Now, I don't have a fetish for the excel, but I challenge anyone to push 'em up in that airplane and then say it's not a real jet. The 145 reminds me of the CJ... That's where you were going with that I think.

General Dynamics has one out of IAD as well. I would NOT want to be responsible for taxiing it down the lane by the Landmark ramp.

Care to elaborate for the rest of us?

 

[JLF]

In the picture JLF posted, it's the taxi lane that goes between the chevron'ed area and the hangar that's making the shadow.

That looks like a G for reference in the lower right corner. Not sure which model, however.

Because I'm legendary.
