    March Model Madness

    Lovely shots! Hope you get some good ones during the World Cup. I have a friend who goes to GT so I've heard about that game. EIN flies to MSP so that might be why, but interesting nonetheless. Yeah I've observed that UGA uses ATL for bowl games/playoffs, but typically they fly out of Athens...

    March Model Madness

    That's the sorta example I was thinking of! Normally you'd only see widebodies in the postseason, but with conference expansions they're starting to appear a bit more during the regular season. The only other regular-season game where widebodies are fairly common that comes to mind is the Aer...

    Well said. Charter flying really is a quirky and fascinating little corner of aviation. College charters can be all over the place depending on distance, budget, and availability, which honestly makes them more interesting to write about than pro team charters (and I'm more into college sports...

    Would love an ACE/Meregrass Saab 2000 in 1:400. Unfortunately, it's probably a long way off since there ain't even a Saab 2000 mold in this scale...

    Thank y'all! And it's great to hear from a crew's perspective. Too bad us fans are stuck with overpriced & mid stadium concessions :ROFLMAO: Yeah lol, thank you for pointing it out 😅 Somehow I wrote E195 two more times in that paragraph instead of E190 And yeah, I had to give Panda a shoutout...

    Well, I gotta thank y'all for beating Maryland and starting what has been a long, tormenting season for them. Nothing against Maryland personally, but their current head coach destroyed our roster when he left us for the Terps. Seeing his team become one of the worst in the Terps' history has...

    March Model Madness

    Unlike NBA programs, which move around the country on dedicated widebody charters with full team colors, college basketball lives mostly in the narrowbody and regional world, consisting of efficient, flexible aircraft that are just the right size to move a roster, coaching staff, media, and...

    Airline News

    American Airlines is partnering with America250 and will paint two aircraft to celebrate America's 250th birthday Honestly, just like their own centennial livery, AA could've done more. Even this toy that I found while looking up the news has more effort and creativity 😅 Gaudy, maybe, but...

    Airline News

    The 1940 Air Terminal Museum at HOU has abruptly ceased operations. Not the news I wanted to hear, especially on Texas Independence Day 😢

    71-0874/10874 by AeroClassics. I saw her sister ship, 71-0877, on display at Scott Field Airpark this past Christmas, so adding this one to my collection was a no-brainer. Overall, the mold and printing are decent. As usual with AeroClassics, there are a few minor caveats: some assembly was...

    Damn, great minds think alike! I basically got the same two models, albeit with different regs (10874 and N841BA). Lovely pics :love:

    collection cards

    The format that HX/JC uses might be useful pre-internet. Nowadays we can just look up the tail number and see far more detailed information than could ever fit on those cards.

    The 12th Jumbo

    Same here, and even though I'm an Aggie and surrounded by the 12th Man, it didn't click for me that Seattle's 12 (once) stood for the same thing until I read about the lawsuit 😅 And that's the charm of college football - tradition and pageantry, plus the fans and programs going to insane...
