We all would. No way it's ever going to happen.

That's the reason the NW Avros were so comfortable in both F and Y, and 16 F seats. NW wanted them operated by Mesaba, but the scope clause with the mainline pilots meant they had to equip those planes with a lot fewer seats than they were really designed for.

Avro's were the non popular ejet of the 90's. I really wish it had been more popular or a twin engine viable for longer instead of the APU powered quad.

The other catch is that the script is static, not dynamic. So if you add more I'll have to update the script.

FWIW, I excluded "eating.gif" since it is animated and that's verbotten here.

I was thinking about trying to dynamically generate an array of smiles by reading the site when the reply page is rendered. May be more work than required though.

RON = Remain Over Night, when an aircraft remains at an outstation overnight, usually deep cleaned.

Only the salt-water ones.

I remember seeing those at DTW in 1999 when was at Ann Arbor for three weeks.

When did NW stop using the Avro? I see pictures from 2006.

Yes.

Looks like the computer rankings killed Texas. Average rank was #6.

BCS rankings

ETA: I would put UT at #3. (ducks)

Has anyone tried the Acura Experience at a W? Do they only have certain hours during which they operate? I'm thinking of asking them to pick me up from the light rail station in MSP next weekend.

It's a 4-block walk. :-:

Yes, but it's also a free ride. :p

Either way, it sounds like I will be arriving too late to use the service.

I had demoted them if VT were to have won.

So would I. It just seems that other teams are either higher or lower than they should be.

I think you have to endure some sort of sales pitch, as well.
