That plane (N121PB) was a PBA C-402 and is still flying for Cape Air today.

I worked for Executive Airlines in Miami for a while in the 70's but sadly they went under. Then 5 years as station manager for Provincetown-Boston Airline Naples Airlines Div. at Miami.

Some do. I rode overnight with Liza Minelli in the Bedroom next to mine on the EB. She had two bodyguards and they kept people at a distance. She was not the least bit cordial. Earlier partner and I each had a Slumbercoach (early Amtrak) room on the LSL and Maureen Stapleton was in a Bedroom...

I love the polished look. But the paint on a commercial aircraft weighs between 600-1200#. That weight savings mean then can cram more people in and/or save fuel. Paint is also a corrosion preventative.

My first flight on Frontier from Nashville for house hunting (job transfer) in Denver. I knew it was a good sign as I was seated in 2A and we departed from gate A2. And the critter adorning the tail was Carl the Coyote and my name is Karl. That was in 2006 and I'm not leaving Denver. Traveled...

I agree Frontier Spirit would be excellent. Frontier's tagline is "Spirit of the West" from long ago. Hopefully the animals remain and are expanded. Their HQ is a couple of miles from me. And Spirit's HQ is a couple of miles from where I grew up.

Also keep in mind the on-board crew are first-aid trained and there is an AED on-board.

It was actually an Aloha Airlines B737.

Ahh Little Orange

I remember Trailer Life Magazine used to have excursion up thru western Canada and down south thru Mexico many years ago. They contracted with various railroads and had a long string of flatbeds. Large motorhomes and travel trailers (including tow vehicle) would be loaded and tied done...

Sounds like you were a guest at the Imperial Inn on West MacArthur Blvd.. Since the Hyatt across the walk-over at EMY (arriving on #5) was booked and way more expensive I decided on the Imperial YIKES! It was only for the night to catch #6 back to FMG. Same on-board crew and all were great...

Yes and no. I tip anyone that provides a service to me i.e. sleeper attendant, dining/lounge car staff, restaurant waiter, hotel/motel maid, valet, etc.. As I know that I can because I was raised on tips as a youngin. Mom was a bartender in the Miami International airport for 25 years. And...

It is the same as many of my neighbors complaining about train horns and/or long trains blocking crossings as they go through. The question is why did you move into a new area/neighborhood and start whining when those tracks have been in place well over 100 years? I grew up 1900' from one of...

Call it speculating if you desire just as others have been doing in the thread. As for the blue sign yes in that snapshot (April 2021) it is posted as well from the other direction. Just if it was there at the time of the crash?

Okay a Cessna 172 uses Avgas 100 or 110 which is highly flammable! The fuel tanks are in the wings of the aircraft. There is minimal if any fuel leakage shown in the video after the plane's wings clipped the various poles (crossing guards, lights, etc). And the fact that even after the train hit...

Denver is a fuel and crew (Conductor(s)/Engineer(s)) change point. Also, Albuquerque.

Partner and I did a western circle trip several years ago. The Starlight was running late so they bused us from Klamath Falls to Portland to make the Builder connection. It had been years since I had ridden a bus and having to leave our bedroom (Deluxe Bedroom back then) behind was a bummer. But...

I remember we had 450+ on the an eastbound CZ one winter. About 250 of them boarded at Winter Park in the middle of a blizzard. Had to do several "spots" to get everyone on board. Luckily the resorts let them stay in the shuttle buses until we arrived. But most of the baggage was sitting outside...

Well they say a person can go 30+ days without food (4-5 days w/o water) so there is always that option.
