Delta Air Lines places order for 20 Airbus A350-1000 wide-body jets

Delta has placed an order for 20 new A350-1000 aircraft. Hopefully SunAir Express will fly the A350-1000 sometime in the future. But, just for SAX780, this doesn't mean we will replace the B747. No way. :)

The B747 May Not be Completely Gone!

This long and informative video poses that we may see B747s and A380s for a while longer than initially thought.

Chris,

That ad brings back good memories. Mine was a Commodore 64 with subLOGIC's Flight Simulator. It's been a while, hasn't it?

Flight Simulator Gave Birth to 3D Video Game Graphics

Here's a good article covering the many twists and turns of our hobby's history. Did you know that a few SunAir Express members visited subLOGIC and had a tour of its facilities? Jim Swanson and Marty Becker were there. In fact, as I heard the story, they were going to fly with Stu Moment on his air...

Re: Air Force Studies Autonomous Cargo Jets

I can see baggage handling done by robots. Still have an issue with having robots fly me around. I still envision walking into a flight deck and seeing blue screens in all the displays. :)

Re: SAX Bombardier CRJ-200ER

Hello Chris,

You can use the CRJ2 in lieu of the CRJ7 on CRJ7 flights if you prefer. Ensure the CRJ2 that you use has the range for the flight.
