  • Nevada-California, USA November 2014
    Nevada-California, USA November 2014 While the end of 2014 was approaching, I still had about ten vacation days left. Therefore I decided to spent these on a spotting trip. I teamed up with fellow reader EC and we agreed that the south-western part of the United States would be a great place to visit. The chances of finding nice airplanes and good weather in this part of the world are rather high, even at the end of November. We decided to spend three days in Las Vegas and then drive to southern California, where we would spend almost a full week. The primary focus would be on photographing airliners and fire fighting aircraft, but some number crunching was done as well (although most logs below are not complete). Please note that all mm’s mentioned apply to a 1.5 crop factor camera and all aircraft are only noted once per airport. On the morning of Wednesday 19 November Eddy and I met at Schiphol at approximately 8 AM. There we learned that our flight to Houston was delayed for several hours. Fortunately United Airlines rebooked us on flight UA908 to Chicago. 19 November 2014 Schiphol EHAM G-FBEI Embraer 195LR Flybe LZ-FBE Airbus A320-200 Bulgaria Air N14121 Boeing 757-200 United Airlines N652UA Boeing 767-300ER United Airlines YU-APJ Airbus A319-100 Air Serbia A few planes were noted before boarding the 22-year-old Boeing 767. The flight to Chicago was uneventful in my opinion. However some other passengers complained about the cabin temperature and as a result all passengers received an 100 USD online voucher, to be spent on United Airlines flights with in the next year.

NORTHWEST AIRLINES 1926-2010 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ THE QUEEN OF THE SKIES Personal Retrospectives by Robert DuBert It's hard to believe that they are gone. Can it be possible that it was 50 years ago this September that this aircraft made its first public appearance? Are we really all so, ahem, elderly that we Photo: True Brand, courtesy Vincent Carrà remember 1968 as if it were yesterday? This plane had its origins in 1964, when Boeing began work on a proposal for the C-5A large military airlifter contract, and after Lockheed won that contest, Boeing considered a commercial passenger version as a means of salvaging the program. Urged on by Pan Am president Juan Trippe, Boeing in 1965 assigned a team headed by Chief Engineer Joe Sutter to design a large new airliner, although Boeing at the time was really more focused on its supersonic transport (SST) program. A launch customer order from Pan Am on April 13, 1966 for twenty five aircraft pushed Sutter's program into high gear, and in a truly herculian effort, Joe Sutter and his Boeing team, dubbed “The Incredibles,” brought the program from inception on paper to the public unveiling of a finished aircraft in the then unheard of time of 29 months. We're talking, of course, about the legendary and incomparable Boeing 747. THE ROLLOUT It was a bright, sunny morning on Monday, Sept.

    61 far from solution. The difficulties of acquiring land and financing for this costly project appeared overwhelming. Mean- while, fuel tankers continued to make their noisy take-offs over Honolulu. The airport hoped there would be a technical development that would eliminate the need for this flight path. Highlights July 1, 1962 The Hawaii Visitors Information Program was established to welcome passengers at Honolulu International Airport and Honolulu Harbor, to encourage travel to the Neighbor Islands, and to provide information and other help to airport and harbor visitors. As of June 30, 1963, the staff of the HVIP consisted of 33 full-time and nine part-time employees. July 10, 1962 The widening of Taxiway X and restoration of P Road with a crossing over a new drainage ditch was com- pleted at a cost of $113,463.82. July 22, 1962 The Empress of Lima, a four-engine Britannia jet turboprop, crashed at 11:19 p.m. and burned while making an approach to Runway 8 on the Hickam Field portion of the airport. Twenty-seven persons were killed and 13 survived. It was the worst civil air carrier accident in the Islands’ history. The Air Force Fire Department acted promptly to minimize loss of life. Personnel of the Airport, Navy and City and County assisted in fighting the fire, maintaining order, and pro- viding ambulances and other services. The crash dramatically showed the need for continued cooperation between the Air Force and the airport. Several meetings were held after the crash and a number of suggestions developed for further improvement of the pattern for teamwork.
