For Sale In Malaysia-3 Slightly Used Boeing 747-200s!!lol

i was kinda making a joke about DAC

 

Eh.. I guess if I did not pipe up and say something silly now and then and fall on my face doing so, I would not be me.

Take care have a great day.

 

Air America, Evergreen International Airlines, Southern Air Transport would take them, if they were still around. Remember them?

 

sorry, but no. i do remember, Pan Am, TWA

 

Those 4 were fronts for the CIA.
Southern Air Transport had one shot down in 1986 over Nicaragua while doing some illegal gun running.
I think Evergreen lost a couple of plane loads of Army Rangers enroute from Panama to Vietnam.

This famous picture of the last helo to leave Vietnam is not a military helo, it's an Air America CIA helo.

 

Thread on Pilot's Report: "I have a plane abandonment on my record, will anyone hire me?"

 

Sad to see them going the way of the Dodo. I did some transatlantic trips on the upper deck of a 747. That was back when they served real food on china with silverware... a real treat.

But, 747s will soldier on for a long time yet doing cargo.

I will say, the 787 is sooooo much better though. And the service on Cathay is pretty good too.
