I like this how about a topic every week with milestones? Would be better than the same old repeating topics like the L1011 and if European carriers are going to serve Hawaii.

With a fleet approaching 20 years it is about time to order a bunch of 777F’s Good site for overview: https://www.lh-taufnamen.de/cargo/ Would not be surprised to see them order 10, and 5 options within the next couple of years. They had a chance to buy used 777F's and AeroLogic bought them instead.

Way back in the day around 1981 or 1982 I used to fly for C & M airlines based in IYK. Far different in those times with a glut of underpaid pilots and probably more defense spending, there was quite a demand between IYK and LAX as well as Edwards AFB, Palmdale, and even Barstow. San Diego and ...
