In response to "Speaking of flights and airlines, if all goes to plan, I should be exiting a 757 via the emergency slide(!) sometime tomorrow" by JD

Well now I'm jealous.

I love the 757 too.

That airline...I wish them luck. They were originally planning to fly US to Asia with a stopover in Anchorage. And maybe they eventually will. But for now they plan to launch by flying Ontario, CA to Las Vegas like...2 days a week...or something?

- What the holdup at ANC? Seems they'd be able to handle this. - ty97 May 2, 08:01 2

    - Hmmm, this all sounds like excuses for "we can't fly over Russia anymore" :) -- nm - ty97 May 2, 08:12
Also, LYC, while I don't know which of their four planned aircraft it will be, they are all former American Airlines planes. - ty97 May 2, 07:52 2
- Tangent. For some weird reason I have a memory of of my first time flying a 757, probably early ‘90s, and thought it was really neat. -- (edited) - znufrii 🦄 May 2, 08:05 1
  - 757s take off really fast (lots of power) which is pretty neat - ty97 May 2, 08:14
