I may have actually flown one, but am not certain. One of my La Ceiba-Roatan-Guanaja flights on Islena might have been a Twin-Otter (rather than a second ride on the Let 410)...but I was so drunk on raw cane liquor at the time, that I don't really recall the aircraft too well :p

They're Fokkers (or Rekkof's ;) ), and they're quite cool. Flying VLM (not KLM) on an F-50 is one of the best turboprop experiences one could ever hope for. Amazing service, convenience of using LCY to get to AMS (or RTM), snack & free booze. IMO, it beat any Eurobiz experience I had ever had (on BD, KL, or AF).

Also, KL's F-70's were pretty cool. Almost like toy planes, those...

Uh huh. And when you fly to CLL and SHV, remind me where those planes came from? It wasn't Seattle. :D

Never flew the F-70 (tried to get one on Horizon before they were retired but didn't make it), but its big brother, the F-100, was a pretty cool little plane too. The main things I remember about it was that it was pretty loud on takeoff, the overhead bins were very oddly shaped, and the flight attendants (at least on US) made a point of saying at least three times during the safety announcement that if you were seated behind row xx (the row with the overwing exits) that you had to come forward to the wing to evacuate, since nearly half the seats on the plane were behind the overwing exits, and there was no rear exit door.

Aerogeek that I am, I traveled to NCL to hop on one NCL-AMS. Dunno if I would have made the side-trip to NCL (ugh), just to hop on one if AMS/Den Haag hadn't been in the cards :D

I think he's willing to overlook those. What kind of good, red-blooded Aggie doesn't appreciate a Brazilian? ;)

Don't forget the Sweedes too, makers of Colgan's props. Maybe he likes tall blondes. :p

Of course he would. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and there's nothing in shorter supply in College-Station than fit, tall, non-bottle-blond leggy Swedish types. Those types prefer the relaxed, clothing-optional atmosphere of Hippie-Hollow out Austin way :p

Actually not...I went past Hippie Hollow in a boat a few times, and was nearly blinded by the sight of nude, pasty man-hippos and leathery creatures that looked like the old lady from There's Something About Mary. It was like watching a train-wreck. You wanted to look away, but...

Where are all the nude beaches with fit, attractive people? Every one I have ever chanced across (Hippie Hollow, Isla Mujeres, Many in Greece/France) have all been hideous human carnivals.

Ain't that the truth?

South beach isn't fully nude but it's rather "liberal" and the bodies aren't bad. I think there's a fully nude beach just north of Miami that might be better for finding folks that don't have their own zip-code / gravitational pull.

It's not that I seek them out...

However, I really did not need to round the corner along the seafront promenade last time I was in Aghios Nikolaos, only to be confronted with a hefty English granny sunning her liver-spotted hoo-hoos in the bright Grecian sun. That one was nearly a vacation spoiler :D

I'll list my airplane equipment tonight but as far as classic equipment goes, do warbirds count?

I had a few rides on "Fifi", the only airworthy B-29, a P-51, a B-17, and an A-1.

HAHA! Kudos to all the replies...it sure beats the smoke-belching 737-100's that Aloha Airlines is flying above Kaua'i this morning.....ugh.

That's nothing - all UA aircraft seem to spew sootey exhaust these days because UA is to cheap to clean them.
