Can you please elaborate? Like where do you see the blurriness? And why does the fact that it's distant matter?

Thanks

Post Screening

Hello,

I know this photo may have a bit of noise in the back, but does this really make it not accepted? I'm pretty confused about this.

Thanks

Re: N777UA- How much longer does she have?

Time marches on... I vividly remember Air Canada retiring its Viscount, the first airplane I ever flew on, in 1969 when I was 11 years old; by 1974 they were all gone. Lots of hours on DC9s. Gone. Flew on DC8s, 727s, L1011s, DC10s, A300s, A310s, mostly all gone; Flew on AC 767s when they were only ...

Re: Airline livery you miss the most

Personally, I really enjoyed the old AA livery, the old Air Canada (blue, and then the red and silver ones they had on their 747-200) , Canadian Airlines, old FedEx, the PSA smile, Eastern, the old Alitalia and the most was the last Delta livery (especially the colorful tail)

Is it just me, or in YYZ is it hard to distinguish jet airways and icelandair jets? (their tails are the only things i see)

Re: Air Canada begins MAX 8 service to LHR

Does anyone have a list of all NB jets that can cross the Atlantic? (I have been once told that the 757 was the only one, but evidently, that's wrong)

Re: American Airlines Sets Retirement Date for MD-80s

It looks like AA has 12-13 MD-82 and it has 4 MD-82s in storage. They also have 6 MD-83s. No MD-83s or in storage. (according to https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/American_Airlines) Personally I really miss the reverse thrust pushback and the reverse thrust completely, i miss the way they opened up an...

Re: A343 and A346 Status?

There's zero market for them. The new A339 251T can fly just as far as the 343 could for significantly less costs and the 346 was a pig compared to even the 777-300ER, much less the A350. Once Airbus stopped building the 343, significant changes were made to remove those additional structures from ...

A "highly intoxicated" pilot was removed from the cockpit of a flight, leaving more than 100 passengers stranded at Stuttgart airport. Shortly before the TAP Air Portugal flight was due to take off to Lisbon on Friday night, an airport employee noticed the man walking unsteadily and smelt ...

Rouge I think won't retire their 767s until they can find a better long range wide body airliner (are they getting 787s)? I hope so, the 767s are getting long in the tooth. I've flown Rouge internationally on 3 round trips, EDI, GLA and FCO. On the outward FCO trip, and the inbound GLA trip, we inc...

Really not sure why they would retire the E190, they are very usefull and not even that old. (1999) Yet they have 97 of them,(i think that that is wrong though.
