Me too. Used to see them all the time, and now they're gone. Just like the DC-9s and 727s.Old is gold. Miss seeing Delta Mad Dogs flying around
Yup and not too long from now and we’ll be looking back at 757 and 767sMe too. Used to see them all the time, and now they're gone. Just like the DC-9s and 727s.
Yes, sad but true.Yup and not too long from now and we’ll be looking back at 757 and 767s
Sadly that’s just the way it is… We should treasure our time with the aircraft we have while we have them… Because one day, they will be gone.Yup and not too long from now and we’ll be looking back at 757 and 767s
Yeah, like these beloved BA 747’s…here are a couple of my own pictures that I took of them from the old LHR T2 on 8 June 1997, when I was just 14. The good old -136 from the original BOAC order. One can be seen taxiing past the TBE base which I’m currently working on as a 1:400 model. These jumbos used to whistle over my flat in Finchley, North London regularly as they climbed out of Heathrow. All gone now, great memories. Caught the last days of the Landor era.Sadly that’s just the way it is… We should treasure our time with the aircraft we have while we have them… Because one day, they will be gone.

Very few things make me feel the passage of time in the same way the absence of 727s does. It seems so surreal to me that they are practically gone, and that there are already generations of young adults that never got to fly on one... I guess I am actually getting oldMe too.

I know what you mean. I literally used to see 727s every single day...either at the airport or flying over my house. I'm just glad I got to fly on a few of them. Same with the DC-9-sFixed it for you

Yep, absolute gems, I have the Air Niugini & TAA as well, both lucky finds from a collector in Oz a few years back, did not pay an obscene price for them each eitherLooking at DiMA, the model i have with the greatest value is Aeroclassics A300 Air Niugini Bird of Paradise. This was part of the 'following James Cook' series where the same aircraft VH-TAA was featured in 4 Liveries. The other 2 I have (TAA and Australian) have gone up 50% but the Air Niugini one has doubled.

Not particularly the most popular models, but these ones are one of the more meaningful models in my collection. Back in 2019, I flew from San Francisco to Manila and back (PR115 and PR114), and managed to get these inflight sales exclusive models from Philippine AirlInes. From what I gather, these editions of the PAL 777, A350, and A330 are discontinued from their duty free sales and the market in general.
