Long story short. I am Dean. Not Joan.

Based on what I just read is there an FA member who uses the name JOAN as in JOAN WILLIAMS and is a guy named DEAN? At least that is what I interrupted from this last comment. Is there another Joan?????

Hi Michael. Still flies great. What airport did you fly 44U at?
Written on 07/12/2019 by Stefan Donaubauer
The airframe itself is marked F4U-1 as the Planes of Fame @ KCNO are as fanatical as I am

minutia : F4U-1a at KCNO

Planes of Fame's Chance Vought F4U-1A Corsair
There is NO V-166 type
This Corsair was manufactured by Goodyear (hence the type FG-1D)

Viv, Dave, and Hundo .... Howdy to all of you and TYVM for the comments/complis. Viv and Dave ..... A special Thanks to both of you and also to Alien and my young friend Dean (aka "Joan") for your concern and friendship during my prolonged absence. Each of you should have received an e/m within the past 30 hours or so. I'm back in action a full six weeks earlier than the Dr told me I would be. Both the Doc and the home care P/T therapist are truly stunned but they have both given the green light -- I can drive a car again, I can carry my photo equipment bag again, and I can do almost everything I could do two months ago (except I am still prohibited from climbing up mountains or even ladders and I am still required to use a cane at all times). But the bone that was snapped cleanly in two just 6 weeks ago is healing together perfectly and the metal rod has done its job - I'm already able to walk over a mile and Doc says with a bit more patience and a lot more common sense I'll be good as new by New Years Day. Once again, TYVM to each of you. (Wave)

All very cool! United retired their Caravelles shortly after I was born. My father used to love flying on United's Caravelles & Viscounts way back when! The triangular PAX windows on the Caravelle gave excellent downward views I heard. Stay warm too, my friend!:)

Up until a few months ago, the midafternoon SEA-RNO-SEA roundtripper was serviced by Horizon (QXE) Dash 8s. When the passenger count on the route rose steadily throughout the year, Alaska made the decision to replace the QXE Dash 8 equipment with an ASA Boeing to handle the increase number of pax flying the route on the midafternoon flight. Thus, RNO now sees one Alaska Boeing 737 arrive here daily. Not only did that mean more seats available on the route, it also meant there was now the possibility that some of Alaska's special livery schemebirds would appear here. And that is what happened a couple of days ago when ASA's "Spirit Of The Islands" Hawaiian paint made its first-ever visit to RNO.

Thanks for the comment.
I posted a number of photos early this morning and was surprised to see this as a staff pick. Happen to get all the decals and it's clear but average to me. Not much lately on TMC and Wheels UP. Will keep watching.
WIll be posting an old kodak photo from 1973 tomorrow from the airport in Nice France that I took that will tie into the recent Caravelle posting from a few weeks back that is doing well. Stay warm!
Thanks Bartolommeo I appreciate that. This truly is the best job ever!

Thank you for the specifics on the seating in the Caravelle as I made the correction in the description. I did not mention it but I did get to fly in one from Geneva to Nice while in the military in June 1973.
Great to hear from an actual dispatcher of the Caravelle's.
I don't mind the new livery, but I did like the old one. With United, it's what happens inside the jet that I'm more concerned about...

All the aircraft with character are disappearing right before my eyes. :-( Thank you for the photo.

Gorgeous and mean looking jet. It is almost analogous to people from "then" vs. "now".
Written on 06/12/2019 by Kam Bahrami
For a second I though it was the USAF Thunderbirds! Then I looked carefully and I see I was waaaay off. Nice photo!
Written on 06/12/2019 by Kam Bahrami
Where does one find a blacklight big enough to make the entire aircraft glow like that?
Written on 06/12/2019 by SkyVoice
Just kidding, it does look way cool!
@Jesse Kyzer - I'll gladly keep a couple flying... just send me the money.
