Re: Which Airlines are Ordering the Most Commercial Jets?
I don't see Delta on the list. They must be happy with their current fleet.

Airbus A380 Night Landing at JFK Rwy 22R
Nice video of an A380 landing at JFK at night and taxi to the gate.
The off-set ILS approach to 22R is interesting. I even found the taxi to gate part interesting.

Re: Group Flight Anybody?
I'm not ready to start flying VATSIM again just yet but I voted for trying a group flight. This sounds like fun. I haven't used VATSIM in years but we might be able to use TeamSpeak for voice comms and FSHost for multi-flight again like we used years ago for group flights. But this might not work wi...

Lufthansa Wants to Upgrade Their Passenger 747s
Some good news about the B747s for a change: There are only about 40 passenger 747s still flying worldwide, as many airline operators have been retiring the jumbo jet over the last several years. Most airlines just can’t afford it anymore, since newer more fuel-efficient planes are now available. T...

Re: Near-Miss Departing St Louis
... have a near-miss with an American MD-11 departing St Louis and another one on approach to Owensboro with a Mooney M20 ... Poor ATC control ... Nice that there was no midair collisions. The AI traffic on FSX isn't that good. That's one reason why I don't use it or have it greatly turned down.
