See the first picture on ‘plane crash site’ photos. Picture taken Tuesday August 29th. Looks like N319DL at LEX after they put up the lighted X this week.
How many 732s are still serving passengers? I know RyanAir operates a few. Can’t think of many more. Kinda sad to think I may never again see the “cigars” hanging from the wings of a 737 again. Call me nostalgic, but I long for the days of 732s, 722s, and L-1011s rolling around the tarmac.
Checking the database, there are about 500 distinct (same ident on different days doesn’t count) B732 flights in the last couple days, many of those operating daily. About 300 B722 and 600 B72Q flights with the same criteria.
Edit: And 13 L101s Mostly AMT flights, but also the ex-Delta bird headed across the pond.
Yeah, but you know what I mean. Most of them are cargo planes or obscure charter carriers. The days of UA, Eastern, and TWA 727s trolling around are gone (as are Eastern and TWA altogether). It’s nothing like it used to be, nor will it ever be again I’m afraid…Crap. I’m now depressed at the beginning of a long weekend in which I’ll be at the Cleveland Nat’l. Air Show on Sunday. Way to go…Think I’ll go OD on some Prozac now. [just being sarcastic, drugchef]
