I made one of the first flights in one several years ago, and it is a very nice airliner. That was at the same time they were having issues with fuel leaks if I remember correctly.

I was with people that fly on a weekly basis and even they were taking pictures of the inside of the plane.

I was on a pringles can out of Little Rock to Chicago one day and the pilot took of in the steepest incline possible. I about crapped my pants when the engines stalled.

So when will the dreamliner start flying into SXM? I am tired of flying on old arse 757s.


probably won't see that unless you start your trip in Europe


I heard that KLM is going to stop flying the 747s to SXM in 2016. I wonder if the 787 or A350 have enough thrust to clear the mountains with such a short runway?

dude, did you see the video? this is an a/c made out of plastic, meant to go a long ways, that's a mole hill at the end of the SXM runway, plus it can turn

Really cool, but not "Tex Johnston barrel rolling a 707" cool.

Ah huh.



I love flying but I can't ride roller coasters or ride in the back seat. It's crazy.

really! I'm serious! I'm not!

but if you do an in depth departure briefing, leaving no holes uncovered, touching every area sensitive to the mission, making sure no crevasses in the routine go unfilled, and all have a good exit strategy,it always comes out alright

That's pretty awesome, but I want to see a barrel roll like they did to show off the Boeing 707.

dude got busted for that, even though you can do it in an airliner, the jet isn't certified for it and it ain't worth the trouble, we do it in the sim though
