    And to think I shot that pane 30 yuars later!
    I wasnt even alive when he took that wing shot. Its kind of awsome to see a shot like that of a plane that one photographed and 30 years later this very plane would land past me.

    HAHA! I saw the pic and at first all I thought was "old". Then I kept scrolling down and was like "Holy $^%!" haha

    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    The 747 is (was?) equipped to carry an additional engine if needed to transport it. Typically used when they needed to get an engine someplace to fix a broke jet.

    They definitely still do it. Qantas conducted a 5th pod ferry flight last August. See this thread: http://www.vpmag.com/yssy/viewtopic.php ... sc&start=0
