En Passant 3,755 Posted January 18, 2019 707 would be my first call, or DC8 maybe? Not particularly skilled at spotting :). And B52's still chuck that cack out today though obviously not your first choice from Quantas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And B52's still chuck that cack out today though obviously not your first choice from Quantas. Well called, that's a 707; they used to inject water into the engine which produced the smoke. All these years later after first considering re-engining B52s they still haven't decided. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got it down to five flights; three from Alitalia (609, 603 and 611), one from American Airlines (236) and one from Delta Air Lines (444). I'll wager Delta flight DL444. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,226 Posted June 10, 2019 On a train today heading back to Nice from Monaco and who should be sitting a few rows away from me? Twas the actor John Dutine. He clocked me clocking him and he knew that he had been rumbled. Looked rather red around the face, did John. Watch this space. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
