I have bagged the 717, 727-200 (though not the -100, unfortunately), all 737s, all 757s, and all Airbii narrowbodies, except the A320-100 (none of which remain in commercial service). The 707 and 720 are woefully absent from my FlightMemory, as is the DC-8. I snagged all of the DC-9s, except for the -20, which I don't believe is in service anymore. I'm not 100% sure about MD-80s, but am sure I have flown the MD-82 and -88.

As for regional jets, if I can snag a ride on a CRJ-100, I will have flown every variant of the type. IIRC, AC operates some -100s. Have all the ERJs, except for the -140 (should be easy enough to catch with AA), and am missing the EMB-190/95, but should get the -190 on AM in May. I'll likely have to schedule a trip on FlyBE to catch the -195.

As for widebodies, I'm missing the A300 (all variants), A310 (all variants), A340-200/500, A380, DC-10-15/30ER/40, MD-11, 747-SP/100/200/300, 767-300 (non-ER variant), 777-300ER, L1011 (all variants), IL-86, and IL-96 (though I should catch that one in May, as well).

I just tried going to the Twitters of some photographers from This Week in Photography, and while the traffic application is great, I just don't get the personal uses of it.

For your Monday afternoon, here is a video of US1549 being towed through the streets of NJ...

There are some photos from the crane operator here. I like this one which appears to show a clipboard on the 'dash'. Is the cockpit semi-waterproof with the door closed?

I saw a demo of this last September in a hacking seminar. The scanner and RFID chip were about 10 feet away from each other. I think they did a credit card also.

I'm all about Oasis. Need to check out the Clubhouse though.

The LX lounge is one of the best lounges in JFK, IMO. Also, is Oasis still open?

Oasis is still open, I know that if you are flying SQ C without any status , you are sent to Oasis.
If you are *G , you can use the LX lounge .
If you are :rolleyes: you can use the VS CH .

This will make a great blurb for my mother's client newsletter. Since I have hardly anything else to do, I'll have to research and write it.

I just dropped a bomb in the curtain thread. I think I may need to head to the bunker....

I believe Comair still operates some CRJ-100's.

You are correct. There seem to be quite a few of them at CVG. I believe that NW also operates some of them out of DTW but am not certain of that.

Now that you mention it, I believe that I flew a CR1 not long ago on DCA-CVG.
