Re: FlyBmi ceases operations.

Very sad to see British Midland finally go . . . And by the way, DutchBoeing's comments above should be noted - Brexit is a nightmare

Re: 60 years ago today, Pan Am received its first 707

Just to add to chornedsnorkack's post, the first 707 service from Idlewild to Le Bourget was flown by N711PA. If you Google that registration you'll find a great black and white photo taken on the tarmac prior to the flight departing with a marching bad - great stuff! 26 October 1958 also happens to...

Re: US set to request five years of social media history for all visa applicants

Well said VC10er. As an Aussie I need an ESTA to visit the US and whilst the application process is quite straight forward I found the process of entering the country quite confronting - finger prints, photos, 'How long are you here for?', and HUGE queues at both JFK and EWR. It is over the top and ...

Re: Announcement: Airliners.net has been acquired by VerticalScope

Early on in this thread there was a comment about making the background white and having text black on a white background.
