Let's not exaggerate, shall we... Based on history across the model ranges, a GTS4 and GTS4 Cab is highly unlikely

If you notice a resemblance to the SAS 747 I posted further down, it was because Thai bought some 747's from SAS in the 70's and only partially repainted them... Even kept the same font!

Here's the original, followed by the livery used from the 70's to 90's and the current colors

SAS has one of my favorite retro liveries... And all their planes have VIKING as Surnames, how awesome is that? Meet Christian Valdemar Viking, a classic A-319! Notice the Danish, Swedish and Norwegian flags on the tail with the royal crowns on top symbolizing SAS being a pan-Scandinavian company... This livery was

If you look closely you'll see a small twin turbo prop fly overhead before the tanker. That's a spotter plane who instructs the tanker on where to drop their load.

1983 BMW 3 series lost in one of the San Diego fires...

American have stepped up their game considerably in the last few years with new planes, better service and the best loyalty program in the business... I fly a lot and I go out of my way to fly AA. Well done American, well done!!!

No helmet?

If giving financial support to potential political allies is villainy, then I have some grave news for you....

No one can beat the British though, who have invaded all but 8 countries in the world at some point... But at least they have done it in public!

Yep, just look at Hubble!

I didn't check out the site and can't speak to the validity of the information, but we certainly have a history of overthrowing anti American governments (just look at Central and South America.)

Maybe it's just been "in" the shop for "suspension work"!!!

You don't pay a hooker to sleep with you, you pay her to leave...

His "Air Force One" is probable equipped with economy seating only!

First airline job too... Started flying at age 16. 1,700 hours as FAA and JAA CFI/CFII instructor in the US and then got a 737-800 right seat in Europe. And he was barely 24 when he got that job... One of the most responsible kids I have ever known though (except when it comes to knocking up flight attendants)!!!!

If it belongs anywhere within Jalopnik it's probably on Foxtrot Alpha.

I live in San Diego and have taken the trip down to Tijuana many times. Technically it is possible to miss the last exit but you are warned several times that there are no more exits.

Is it true that regional pilots intentionally fly slower to make more money, since you're paid hourly?
