Windows are huge too and you can make them darker just by pushing a button. Nice.

Their desert gold livery was the best. Captured the spirit and feel of a Texas airline startup.
The desert gold scheme is nostalgic and I like that about it, but it's not the brand identity anymore. They are a huge national brand now and the new scheme is refreshing. The Dallas, Houston and San Antonio planes wear a modified desert gold paint that looks better than the original, imo.

I always like the look of the Boeing 307 stratoliner
Never flown on one but I just think it’s a damn good looking airplane.

I went from NOLA to Orlando at 16, alone. It took forever. The 1st 3 hours were cool. The next 3,700,000 hours sucked
Took a bunch in Europe when I was in college, I enjoyed traveling that way. We had to switch trains when we went from Germany to Czech Republic. Went from German train that was like riding on a cloud to clunking rust bucket from the 1940s.
Also took one from Hammond to Memphis for a bachelor party, took forever but we had a great time drank and played cards the whole way. Stumbling off the train in Memphis at night and having to figure out how to get to the hotel was an adventure.
I guess it’s the company you have can make the trip a + or a -.

The amount of upward flex on the wings is insane

Lots of non MAX 737’s have the split schmitar winglets. Signature of the MAX is the saw blades on the engines.

Well, it’s made of plastic 
seriously, there’s a lot of flex in airliner wings, something like 14’ in a 747

I would love to travel by train
frick that. For shits and giggles a while back, I priced an Amtrak ticket from Baton Rouge to LA and back. I went with the cheapest ticket that would guarantee a private berth with a private bathroom. It took 7 days round trip and went to fricking Chicago first each way.
For the same amount of money, I could fly first class all the way to LA and back, avoid Chicago, and stay in a suite the whole week I was in LA. It was well over 3 grand for a train ticket to LA by way of Chicago.
ETA: New Orleans to LA. I'm not riding a fricking bus from Baton Rouge to meet the train in NOLA.

I thought it was carbon fiber.
Never been on a 747, but I've never seen a wing flex like that before. It's pretty cool.

When it’s loaded up with fuel there’s a big upsweep or flex,as it burns off fuel the wing lowers, or flexes back down

Said the passengers on Lion Air.
Boeing makes some nice planes, so does Airbus.
The automation of new aircraft is amazing, they are turning pilots into systems operators. Yet mainline US pilots want to be paid like they are more than some glorified plant operator.
When a plane can fly Cat IIIb landings by itself, you don't need captains getting 250+ per flight hour (not to mention pensions).

Seems like it should be opposite of that
Posted on 12/29/18 at 8:51 pm to upgrayedd
Nah, talking about airborne, those wings need to produce lift, got tons of fuel, supporting weight of a/c too, as it burns off they lower as need for lift decreases

Ask those Lion Air passengers if they wish they had a 250+ per hour American pilot in the cockpit.
Or the passengers that were on the flight that landed in the Hudson.
