Here's a bit of fun. Who says that Airliners just have to sit on a plain runway base?

Is your airport out of hangar space? We have the answer.

You would think with all their money they could afford longer runways.

The luggage container going thru the engine just goes to show how they really take care of it. It's just another way that they send it off to a different destination! :-)

You might be interested to know that the 185 through the ice is flying again.

It went through the ice two years ago.

I've actually worked on the DC-8 on approach with the open carco door. ABX purchased it from the South American co-op that performed that particular aerial feat, and it now flies with the U.S. tail no. N814AX. Don't worry, the Main cargo door torque box & fittings were all inspected and/or replaced... :-)

Nice one Stephen!

I won't show these pics to one of my colleagues at work... she's going to Greece next week and VERY scared of flying! One look at these and she'd cancel the flight and go by bus!

All the best
