lol @OJTheAviator I'd rather go through the monumental task of making one of the few concordes on display, airworthy again lol

That'd be awesome! Too bad it would be so expensive, plus British Airways apperently didn't want to sell one to a group to make it airworthy, I believe they technically still own the Concordes that flew for BA.

ah I had heard that the group was going to try and refurb it but basically realized it'd be pretty much impossible.

A couple months back, there was a Volga-Dnepr Antonov An-124 sitting at Huntsville International.

Thing looks like it weighs an absolute shit ton.

Ruski

but cool, yeah I bet they are heavy lol

@OJTheAviator I remembered your pfp (profile pic) is a 747 lol

 

tbh it'd kinda be neat if @Dan Castellaneta and I would be able to fly at least Business class on a Lufthansa 747-8, for some reason the config on the 747s from them looks nicer than the A380s of theirs. Although we wouldnt be staying in Germany. Odds are probably just fly to Washington Dulles then catch a 747-8 to Frankfurt then either take airBaltic to Warsaw or ones of the Baltic states or hell, maybe even another 747-8 to Tokyo lol

whats it like to work in a airport?

 

my aunt is trying to help me find a job after i graduate, she asked her friend if she can help find me a job, luckily she said that her job in the Etihad airport are looking for young graduate men and she said that hopefully it'll be easy for me to get in.

 

this really made me happy its always been my dream to work in a airport since the workplace is very clean and its 5 minutes from my house, and i heard that they give out high discounts to family members that wants to travel which is amazing!

 

im not really sure what to do though, i have 2 more semsters left at collage i really wanna idleast get the experience i need but what do you think my job would be in a airport? im getting a bachelor for media and communication but my aunt says that all you need is a university degree which im close in getting.

 

what do you think my job could be? how is it like working an a airport?

This shit makes me sad, honestly.

Truely would be cool if there was still a passenger airline operating the MD-11/DC-10 but alas that was the last :^(

It could be a stressful job for some. Aerospace is really fast paced and you'll often be abused by 300+ passengers the moment they are slightly delayed. 

 

The recent unauthorized take off of a Q400 taken by a Horizon Air employee at SeaTac is harsh wakeup call.

I cloned the Joon livery, a subsidiary of Air France KLM

From the wiki page:

Joon is aimed at young people, according to its parent company Air France[4] "Joon" sounds similar to the French word "jeune", meaning young. It will serve destinations which face heavy competition from low-cost carriers. Joon commenced operations on 1 December 2017, serving short and medium-haul destinations within Europe, with initial routes to Barcelona, Berlin, Lisbon and Porto. Long-haul destinations in the Americas, Middle East (including Dubai and Abu Dhabi in UAE, Riyadh and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia and Muscat in Oman) and Africa will be added in Summer 2018.

 

I did however miss one detail from the real livery, it's on the tail but it's not the white border around the blue. Let's see if anyone notices what I missed.

Looks like you did the door incorrectly.

 

In your clone, it appears to have a thinner white border around the door's edges than on the original livery.

That's just kinda the template, I guess I'll give it away. It does have to deal with the tail but I acknowledge I didnt do the white edges like in the real thing

If there's just one passenger aircraft you'd want to bring back, what would it be and why?
