Fun facts about aviation

To put into perspective how small the 737-100 was, the shortest DC-9, the -10 which could hold about 78 passengers in a one class layout, is 104.4ft long compared to 93ft for the B731.

Did Azul cancel it’s A350’s?

Some of you may have went through the issue of getting a windowless seat on the 737… well, not with the -200! (and the -100 as well)

I actually love that livery. When you think about it, when they changed liveries it always looked like a completely different airline.

Would have loved to have flown with the Silver Spirit ngl.

At least they still have the 2-2 seating up front.

Fun fact: PT-MVF is still flying with Maleth Aero as 9H-JFS.

Unless multiple people faked multiple Jetphotos shots over 4 years, 2 aircraft types and 7 specific aircraft at an equal amount of locations, this is in fact real

The 2 RR ones flew with TAM for a very short time

No clue why they got quite a lot of GE ones tho (PT-MVF, VG, VH, VK, VL)

For quite a while, PT-MXB had a slightly different livery with a smaller TAM. That was eventually fixed.

PT-MXI for comparison
