Whenever I have to give a formal brief, I like to shoehorn pictures of jets in which no real attention paid to making it flow. Case in point--last year I did one up about safety forms the USAF uses then made a sudden transition to trijet porn. It was mostly pictures of the L1011 and the 727.

OptimusMatrix posted:So I'm done seeing posts about airports and I'll actually post some useful info here. If you've got The Military Channel they have a show called "Great Planes". Next Wed they are airing an Episode about the XB-70. For those of you interested in it might be a good show to watch. Here's the schedule for the show. Here's a Wings on it (although the description is Great Planes) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6k9wXrywPw

I love when the airshow comes to town. Got to see what looked like either MiG 15 or 17s fly overhead on the way home from work today. Backyard is two miles from the flight line, going to be spending a lot of time out there with a camera this weekend.

Helado posted:Terminal B at IAH is by far the weirdest smelling / cramped terminal I can think of. I'm used to flying regional (most of my miles are on CRJ200 and ERJ), so cramped gates at the rear end end of terminals are normal, but that one gives an air of cattle chute every time I go through there. YES. I dunno what it is about that terminal but it smells really odd...not just bad BO/standard large cramped groups of people stench (although there is that, since it is a literal cattle chute) but something I can't really put my finger on. So when I was in Korea a couple of months ago I wound up getting stuck at Incheon International for 6 hours because my original flight got canceled. Let's play guess the livery! (Click through for huge on all of these, but the quality might not be so good on some of them, mostly because they were taken through windows). Some are a little easier than others.       The engines are a nice touch on that one, I thought.             Business end of a KAL 747       That's a big jet.     Taxiing during sunset.  View of Seoul at night once I finally got airborne. Few more not from Incheon (same trip though)  Airline is easy, but can you guess the airport?   Priorities.

Should have just kept the old one, replaced the winged hammer and sickle with juts a winged star or something. poo poo, with the way Russia's going right now, just keep the hammer and sickle.  With bonus TU-134M action.

SeaTac to be more precise.  Past the South Terminal just West of the Alaska Maintenance hanger. Iceland sits there every night and has it's maintenance checks done by Delta mechanics.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:edit: time to stop wildly guessing Haha, I will honestly be surprised if anyone gets #1, #12, and #20 because between all three airlines they own a grand total of 14 aircraft. All but one of the other unknowns are flag carriers, and the one that isn't a flag carrier owns over 100 aircraft so it isn't some mom and pop low cost carrier or anything. e: I'll give y'all a hint and say that #12 and #20 are both based out of Korea, and that #1 is based out of Thailand (as stated earlier).

Multiple confusing terminals, I-10 traffic sucks, rental cars WAY off-site, ground swells cause major turbulence when landing. I can keep going. Sky harbor sucks. Its not the worst though. That spot is forever reserved for EWR.
