Amin’s your teeth rattling from the vibrations. Hope those still around have no live passengers,
These things are usually back in the air roughly 20 minutes after touchdown from the previous mission. That includes taxiing and refilling, and usually the tank is filled in roughly 12 minutes. It is a lot slower pumping retardant through hoses into a tanker than scooping it through a lake like a CL-415 would. (This is info I got from the crews of T02 and from my experience watching tankers in and out of my local airport.

Flying on the Eastern Airlines Shuttle between New York and Boston in the 60s was interesting, especially when the stewardess rolled the cash register down the aisle to collect the fares in flight.

Such a fun airplane! I've had the thrill of riding co-pilot. True aviator skill on full display!

The use of the "O" in the Volaris title to highlight the Ghostbuster symbol is quite ingenious.

It is great to see #08 (N926TA) back in service. It was substantially damaged in a landing accident at KRTS (Reno Stead Airport) in August of 2020.

Still remember this plane as I flew a Braniff Electra to Air Force Basic Training at what was then Lackland Air Force Base. Flying to USAF basic training was not a flight one forgets.

Back in the early to mid-80's working as a salesman for Mercury Aviation at Cuyahoga County Airport (CGF) in Ohio. I took Island Airlines Ford Trimotor aka (Tin Goose) based at Griffing Sandusky Airport Ohio in trade for a new Cessna 303 Crusader. Island Airlines had used the aircraft for Island hopping on Lake Erie. We had sold the Trimotor to a customer in Newark Ohio where he gave passenger rides. Then he moved it to Florida where he continued to give rides. If my memory serves me right a heavy Thunderstorm came along and did some serious damage where it had to be rebuilt for the second time. I did have a chance to fly it from the co-pilots seat when we took it in trade. What a great old aircraft. It had Wicker chairs old velvet cloth interior. A true passenger aircraft of its day. What a great day that was to have had a chance to fly this old Bird.

There is no successor for exceptionally good planes. They may be better but generally are worse.

@chugheset ...those "tubes" look like inflatables to me...maybe emergency water landing?

adelma, looking at the rollup door it was most likely a jump/skydiving plane, probably a Caravan or Twin Otter.

I use to fly this a lot. I flew with Admiral Air Services. Mostly in their Cessna 210 for charter stuff. Loved old '748BooBoo

Small correction, it's a 737-800, not a -700.

This is possibly the best L-39 in the US right now. TFE-731 engine, wet-wing aux fuel tanks, avionics, the works.
