    I cant recall anyone saying that before, but if true it is just one more reason why flying is nowhere near as fun as it used to be, in fact now it rather sucks unless one is First Class.
    Fuck aviation since there is no longer Ken Pilot and Swedish hot OMG hot stewardess that used to give me a key to their house and let me fish off their back dock.
    Seriously! I have still have the Eastern pin they gave me. I never did take the windsurfer out, but I did catch some fish.

    They were very nice to me. I forget how we met, but she was smokin' hot and he looked like Ken!

    Maybe through my friend Victor..hmm..Her tits..wow..

    Quite true! I guess an airplane being repaired and repainted is considered a 'financial disaster' to them.

    He never decided not use the 757 again. The plane is down for maintenance and repainting. It's awaiting an engine because the inspection showed sufficient problems in the one engine that it's just cheaper to replace it. These things can develop cracks over time, you know. This engine may have ingested a bird or something without the pilot ever knowing about it. Smaller birds will go through the engine without immediate effect. They really are pretty tough for what they do.

    Trump temporarily mothballed the 757 while he used Air Force 1. He's had the Citation for awhile now. It's always been faster and easier to get into smaller airports. The thing is a little speed rocket. It can cruise at Mach 0.92 (763mph), while the 757 requires larger airports and can only go at 610mph as a top speed. The 757 is more useful for larger numbers of guests.

    I'd love to have a Citation. They ain't cheap though! The last time I flew a 757 was a test flight after repairs. My copilot, a good friend of mine, was an ex-trucker. That flight lasted about an hour while we checked the systems. That aircraft had come in for some avionics faults (turned out to be a corroded antenna connection, easily fixed), and a plugged lavatory (it takes a licensed A&P to fix those! .

    I prefer working on smaller aircraft nowadays.

    Since he's fixing it and repainting it, you are quite probably wrong. But, when has that ever stopped you, sock?

    Sounds like the asshole has a very nice plane to me.

    Just remember this.

    If he can't fix it, he can't crash in it.

    I have reported that the plan was to buy an engine with one takeoff, presumably to get it to his library.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    Your socks are IBDaMann and gfm. Who are my socks, Sybil?



    Time will tell, but my guess is that 757 is either headed to a museum (it's tax write off for those who are stupid or insane) or the scrapheap to be recycled into beer cans.
