I am certain I had nothing to do with it! In any event, he has challenged himself to fly on as many Boeing aircraft, as possible. He knows the 707 is pretty much out. But there are several 727s still out there. Does anyone know of any commercially operated ones... that are not in Africa? http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...orum/smile.gif I appreciate any help or thoughts!</font> For someone who likes to fly, I would suggest trying to fly as many different aircraft types as possible. I prefer Boeing aircraft as well, but you have to be realistic about what's still out there. In addition to flying the following types that are currently in service in the US ... 737-200 737-300 737-400 737-500 737-700 (I can't find a -600 in the US) 737-800 737-900 717 747 (the -400 is basically the same as the earlier ones, though the others might still be out there) 757-200 757-300 767-200 767-300 767-400 777 (different versions if wish) A319 A320 A321 A330 A340 A300 DC-9 (various series if wish) DC-10 (hurry, they're going fast) MD-11 (also hurry) F100 CRJ (barf) ERJ FRJ Dornier 328 (turboprop version of FRJ) Dash-8 (some versions exist) B1900 EMB-120 Saab340 J31/J41 ... he can also fly to lots of different airports http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...orum/smile.gif How many U.S. airports have you been in while flying commercially? ------------------ "It's as easy as 1, 2, C" -- Kelly, Married With Children [This message has been edited by JS (edited Nov 17, 2003).] |
Your right JS, there are no 737-600's in the US...to get on a 736 one's best bet would be SAS in Europe...
N674UW |
747 NW has -200s and -400s. UA only has -400s currently?
777 Only -200s in the U.S. Add A318 (Frontier) A320 These are -200. There are some -100s but I don't think any are in the U.S. (these ones don't have the wingtip fences). A330 There's the -300 operated by US and NW (US was the first to operate 330s in the U.S.) (NW will be getting -200s next year) A340 No U.S. airlines operating these. 4 versions. A300 - Add A310 (no U.S. passenger airlins still operating these?) DC-9 (various series if wish) DC-10 (hurry, they're going fast) 3 versions of which only 1 still operates in the U.S. MD-11 (also hurry) F100 CRJ (barf) at least 3 versions ERJ at least 2 versions FRJ Dornier 328 (turboprop version of FRJ) Dash-8 (some versions exist) -100, -200, -300 & -400. B1900 Two versions. Best one is the low fuselage original. [This message has been edited by terenz (edited Nov 17, 2003).] |

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by JS: Do you know which airlines fly the low ceiling version? All I see is B1900D (expanded headroom). </font> Just more addenda. I'm not sure if any commuter airlines are still flying them but various Shorts, Fokker F27/50 & F28/70s, Swearingen Metros have to be added. |

Because the commercial version is cheaper and more challenging than just renting a plane. http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...orum/smile.gif
