SIZE: CHECK, VARIANT: CHECK, PERFORMANCE: CHECKED!

What a handsome sight?!!

Even for these little ones!

A 3/4 angle of the Mandarin SP, Canada's 747, and South African SP.

Can you imagine standing underneath and in front of these real giants?

The Jumbos can never be replaced. Not even with the 380s.

It has that special 'everything's in the right place' stuff.

The size, the variant, the track record

all speaks for itself!

And they are here to stay!

Ga bakal menghilang dari udara.

Pesawat Boeing Jumbo B747 mempunyai kelebihan

dibanding dengan

pesawat terbesar baru dari Airbus A380.

Semuanya serba pas.

Ukuran, pilihan varian badan pesawat

serta jam terbangnya yang tak bisa diganggu-gugat lagi

membuat tipe 747 ini akan tetap terbang mengitari dunia buat waktu yang lama.

HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN OF THE SKIES

British.

Handsome. Majestic. Presence.

Now she flies to over 550 quality destinations the world over.

One of the last two who flew the Concordes,

Ratu di awan, terbang menembus dan menjajah langit.

Itulah British Airways.

Salah satu maskapai penerbangan tertua

kini terbang ke lebih dari 550 bandara dunia.

Juga merupakan salah satu dari dua maskapai yang

pernah menerbangkan pesawat Concorde,

di sini kami tampilkan B777, B757 dan B747 mereka.

LAST OF THE HANDSOME PROPS

Regional carrier and feeder Eurowings ranked 4th in the European section of business airlines and is 49% owned by Lufthansa AG. She now operates only jets,

namely the BAe 146s and the CRJ 200 Bombardiers.

Their last set of props, the ATR 42s and 72s ( as per the photos shown below)

were put to retirement in 2005.

Eurowings adalah bagian dari Lufthansa, merupakan maskapai regional yang beroperasi dari dan ke kota-kota kecil Eropah. Pesawat baling-baling ATR 42 dan 72 kini sudah dipensiunkan dan diganti dengan pesawat jet kecil BAe 146 dan CGJ 200 Bombardier.

WON ON GROUND, LOST IN THE AIR

Two times F1 World Champion Niki Lauda hatched this birdie in 1979, with two F27s.

Over time, Lauda the steel bird raced against and withstood all uncertanties and conditions. Grew at a fairly steady rate, at one time she even formed a strategic alliance with Lufthansa. But since 2002, she is now fully owned by Austrian Airlines.

Niki himself had given up his chairmanship and hung his hat a couple of years before that.

Here's a former B7373s.

Maskapai milik Niki Lauda sipembalap Juara Dunia F1 tahun 70an kini sudah diambil alih sepenuhnya oleh Austrian Airlines sejak 2002. Niki sendiri sudahpun melepaskan top kendalinya 2 tahun sebelum itu.

THE WHITE-NOSED REINDEER

A new smart way to travel.

Santa can just pack the goodie bags and the reindeers

into the cargo haul of this Finnair BMD11 and

fly around the globe wherever he wants to be.

It's the Finnair 'Santa" livery on their BMD11, done a few years back.

Ho Ho Ho!

"FIRST FLIGHT OUT TOMORROW PLEASE"

It was the worst roller-coaster ride of my life. The afternoon flight for my first sector of the Kuala Lumpur - Singapore - Jakarta route was all but a smooth one. No in-flight service was provided due to the adverse weather conditions.

The A310 circled Changi Airport in Singapore for a good 15-20 minutes and decided to return to Kuala Lumpur. ( By the way, it was still Subang and not Sepang). My knees trembled,

and as soon as it's on the tarmac, I raised my hand and let go my manly macho act,

" Excuse me miss, could you just book me on tomorrow's first flight out?"

All attempts were made to ensure that I'll arrive in Jakarta that very evening, so as I can be in the office first thing Monday morning but

" No, thank you" was my persistent answer to the poor stewardesses.

And guess what? I was not alone. I was leader to a pack of about 12 men and women who decided to stay just another evening in Kuala Lumpur.

That was sometime in the early 90s.

SQ used to fly these A310s for shuttle between KUL-SIN as well as SIN - JKT.

Of course the new bigger birds have now taken over these routes.

Karena cuaca buruk, pesawat A310 milik Singapore Airlines ini terpaksa kembali ke Kuala Lumpur. Sepanjang perjalanan pesawat ini bergetar dan turun naik melawan angin dan awan. Akhirnya sang pilot memutuskan untuk kembali ke KL. Sirna sudah kejantananku. Aku minta agar dibooking ke penerbangan pagi besoknya. Ternyata ada sekitar 12 penumpang lain yang juga minta diturunkan.
Ternyata akulah biang keroknya!
