Downwind66 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 No matter how far aviation has come, it's still always a pleasure to go back to an older favorite of mine! The MD83! [ATTACH=CONFIG]203110[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downwind66 Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 yes, that's what I like about this one, it is an older livery, very classic for an older aircraft! Thanks - Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Nice shot Rick! I remember flying between Memphis and La. a couple of times on a 707 with that livery. Now, especially that I'm wider, I truly wish 1st class seats today were as wide as cabin seats were back then!! :eek::eek: Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

Downwind66 Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Michael - I hear that, about the wider! Also, they are adding additional seats on a lot of the newer aircraft and the only way to do that is space the seats closer to the seat in front of you! We flew to Aruba and I have never been so uncomfortable on a flight! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the seats get narrower, with less tilt, and the legroom gets smaller every year!! Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

flightsimg Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 About that discussion about planes' seats space: I recently read in the news that some planes used for less than one hour and half flights in Europe and Asia, would feature seats where passengers would be half standing up! :( They also said that the such flights in the US would be exonerated as Americans are too tall for that solution :):) Gérard Guichard, Dijon, Burgundy, France. i5 Intel processor, 4 Go of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 920MX, DirectX 12.0, and FSX Gold Edition with SP1, SP2.

Downwind66 Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Gerard - I'll drink to that! I'm not as tall as I used to be, but the legs still need the extra room! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
