“My Plane” a Dornier 328

I like to say that this is my plane, even though it’s not. I use a picture of this plane as my twitter background image. If I had the money to own and buy a plane, I’d want something like this. I want something that’s big enough for me to bring along the family, yet ...

Boeing Not Keen On Re-Engining B737

I’ve been reading up on this elsewhere, and Boeing is claiming that there isn’t much customer interest in a re-engined B737. I’m inclined to believe that. I think another “nail in the coffin” of a re-engined B737 is that Bombardier received 0 orders for their new C-Series at Farnborough. I would imagine had Bombardier gotten ...

I’m not sure what the deal is with the color scheme on this plane. I don’t know why it says “The show must go on” down the side of it. Regardless, it’s a cool looking plane with big ‘ol canard wings.

This is video from the scene of the accident in Ichun City. There were 96 people on board, 42 of them died in the crash.

This is what an Embraer 190 looks like.

Video Podcast Episode 6In this episode, I mostly talk about the crash of the Do228 in the Himalayas, and the crash of an Embraer 190 in Northeast China. There were 14 people on board the Do228, all of them died in the crash. The E190 has 96 people onboard at the time of the crash. The other thing that I talk about, is about how you can get your hands on your very own Sea Harrier Jumpjet.

Henan Airlines Posts Picture Of Crashed Plane

Henan Airlines has posted a picture of their crashed plane on their website homepage. To me, it seems like a crazy move. It just seems like bad public relations to post a picture of a crashed jet on your homepage. It reminds me of that old Dudley Moore movie where he’s an advertising executive that ...

First Class On Regional Jets

American Eagle has started their first class service on their CRJ planes. I think the first class seats look nice, my question is, how will Embraer respond to this development. In ERJ-145s, there’s not a lot of space to add a first class cabin, and the roof line is really low. I would hope that ...
