Usually out of KLAX or KATL, but only short flights, with IFR vectoring, I don't have a comfy seat yet...

Well, I fly the Old Pan-Am liveries, and sometimes the Delta livery on the -200.

I usually will take it where ever it will go, but you'll see me alot down in Kingston, Jamaica, - MKJP, St. Maarten, Netherlands Antilles (spelling done with no help! Don't bash me!) TNCM, and around there, as well as Grenada. It's a great sight seeing plane!

Oh, how cool!   I'll have to give some of those places a visit sometime soon. 

Are you familiar with these places in real life?

Like Lou just about everywhere I can but as I am Aussie based I have done a lot of trips around Australia and the Pacific, although between Pacific Islands needs a little thought about runway lengths and fuel requirements. Longest run has been Seattle Washington to Brisbane Australia.

Greetings! Haven't checked in here for quite some time!

In the 60s I worked for PAA in res so I fly the old 727 Caribbean routes such as MIA/NAS/SJU/BGI/ANU/FDF etc,  and Central American routes like HOU/MEX/TGU/GUA/OCO/TUM etc.

In 1984 I was sls mgr for the short lived Frontier Horizon. The sales force consisted of pilots/fa's/csr's that volunteered their down time to make sales calls on travel agents in our destination cities DEN/SFO/ORD/LGA/IAD/TPA/MCO. We'd make sales calls all day and party into the night! Having become acquainted with a lot of the crew members I was usually invited to ride the jump seat when I got on one of our planes. It only lasted a year, but it was great fun.

Here's one of our 722s arriving at ORD!

Bruce,

Good to have you back on the forums!
Nice video of the 727 into ORD.
Hope the Manhattan's are nice and cold!  Wink

Hi Lou!!!

Hah! You remembered the Manhattan Approach!! By doggies, I think tonight's the night too!  Shocked

I was catching up on your posts a while ago. You're definitely still the go to guy here. You and Mark that is. Delta Dog is still around, and it seems there are a couple other real deal 727 guys as well.

I had the 100 working pretty darn good and tracking the glide-slope nicely back then and all of a sudden things went haywire. I finally gave up and went to the another company 757. Couldn't stay away from the CS 727s though so now I've been back on them quite a bit, but I have to use my yoke trim toggle all the way down to the runway. The Localizer works fine though. I suppose I could hand fly it, but that gets ugly!

I still haven't learned the VOR to VOR stuff, so I just let the default ATC get me where I'm going. As Mark said earlier they can be pretty frustrating at times though. I liked you're comment on how you use it too ---- something like *radar services terminated ---- squawk such and such!

Cheers to you!

Bruce

PS - I'm looking for a house in central PA---- would that be State College?  Grin

@ David ---- thanks!!

Careful on the Manhattan approach. Don't use too much trim. Ah hell, too much is just right!

I live in a little town right across the river from Harrisburg, PA God's Country

I you came to live here, the police would be busy with the two of us!  Cheesy

Yes, that IS God's Country!! I've ridden my motorcycle from Gettysburg to York to Lancaster and around that area a couple times when I lived in Vienna, VA in the mid 80s (right after Frontier Horizon). Beautiful!!

The Harrisburg Police have nothing to worry about. My wife will never leave Denver again! Two kids and two grand kids here!

I see by the clock that it is cocktail hour there ---- salute!

Hi Bruce.

Welcome back! It's great to see you back in the forums after a long absence. The value of the information from real pilots, like Lou and yourself, is VERY welcome and very much appreciated. Wink
