Flashback Fridays--A Final Flight |
 |
Hey Brian,
When you retire a plane, how much of it it stripped to be used as parts/spares on other aircraft. Seats, bins, galley, etc. Just curious.
Love these Flashback Friday's.
Unlike the past few “Flashback Fridays” post, this one is a bit more current—like today or maybe next week. However, it still has historical value. Today we say goodbye to a trusted member of our fleet as N680AA heads off on its final flight. The |

Go Mustangs! Hi again!
If you’ve read the blog lately, you might know me from my starring role in “The Battle of the Ashley’s,” so you know I’m a Longhorn fan. Well, this past Saturday night was a nerve-wracking, nail-biting game for me. |

SOMETHING WE REALLY WANT YOUR “FEED” BACK ON |

It would all depend on how it's priced. Are we talking grocery store, 7-Eleven or inflated airport concessions levels? More than likely, I will continue to bring my own food and use my drink coupons. : ) Bloomberg news ran a story today headlined “Southwest Airlines may start selling food.” Categories: Under the hood Mar 12, 2009 |
