    If you think that one is bad, they are up to the CRJ 1000 which has even more of a fuselage stretch.

    .80 cruise is still impressive in a plane that is designed with such great runway performance. It is all a compromise to find what works best for the person or company using it. Gulfstream's and Global's can make speed matter when it is carried over the long distances they fly. If a plane doesn't have long range the speed really doesn't translate to much difference real world. The company I flew a Citation V for looked at the Sovereign briefly and I thought it would be a great choice as short runway performance was high (in my opinion) on the priority list. The legs were too short for speed to be a factor so I never looked into what it cruised at.

    At least the A330 looks normal. Thanks to you all I'm convinced that I'm gonna have to bring a little blue pill to get the RJ airborne. I already don't have a great history with Delta at DFW

    No good.

    I've only been to a few crash sights and only involving small aircraft. I hope I never see another.

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    Unfortunately, I have had the displeasure to be a part of a few big ones. The B-1 that blew up on the ramp in the middle east was during my time over there. The B-52 that crashed in Guam. A U-2 crashed in the middle east in the middle of the desert...

    I got to be part of the at home investigation when the KC-135 blew up mid-air in Kyrgyzstan 4 years ago. It was my last aircraft I had flown on with the unit, and all the log books were located in our area. I had to go page by page looking for any work done to the aircraft in a 6 month time span.
