  1. Lots of great ones posted so far. Some favs of mine. Apologies in advance for the U2 theme. I lived this band for a while.

    U2 9/11 tribute with Dave Stewart and Natalie Imbruglia backing them up

     

  2. I flew in a 90's version American Airlines MD-80 a few weeks back.   I mean this plane looked like a flashback machine and the seats were uncomfortable as heck.   When I landed at DFW, I noticed the other MD-80's at the gates had the same old paint scheme vs the others which have the newer look.   I was curious why American was keeping these planes and looked it up and they are due to be retired this summer and the Airbus will be taking over these medium haul routes.     But I tell you what.  Both trips were pretty darn smooth compared to some I've had in 737's and other smaller regional jets.   Save the above discomfort from the seat on one trip as it felt like a cheap hotel mattress.  


    They were meant to be replaced years ago by the 73 which is why they never got painted. Fuel got stupid cheap and since the planes were paid for and they had the pilots, they got extended. But not painted.
