What do you think of KIWI airlines?
 
KIWI was on CNN...if they only serve a few cities, and try not to OVER
EXPAND themselfs they can prob. do OK...
 
I hope they do good...it will be the start of having more airlines...
 
Lets see...who died lately? (well...a few years)
 
PSA: Planes had a happy face on them.
AIRCAL: Cool paint job.
REPUBLIC: Ugly paint job.
JET AMERICA: Cool paint job too.
WESTERN: Can't belive it...they had a nice operation.
BRANIFF: Can believe it...PLAD AIRCRAFT? Yea Right!
EASTERN: Don't know if they ever were an airline.
PEOPLES EXPRESS: Hah...pay the $99 >ON< the plane! I remember that.
NY AIR (or something like that): Big apple on the TAIL, made me hungry.
FRONTIER: Big 'F' for "Forgot to put the gear up" (personal story).
STATES WEST: Who the hell uses SHORT 360s? TOO LOUD!
GOLDENWEST: Who names their airline after a COMMUNITY COLLEGE?
 
Anyone got anything else (and/or a comment)?

ALSO..i was at LGB yesterday..and they had a MD-11 they were going to test fly.
It was an Alitalia MD-11..they called it DEYGO <G>...anyhow..the guy
took of more or less..straight up...pretty neat...he flew out to Catalina and
BACK in the same time it took me to work 1/2 of the pattern! SHEESH!

   A lot of airlines do:
	AER LINGUS
	OLYMPIC AIRLINES
	USAIR, etc.

  Don't forget the ever popular Pan Am... great paint job on the A
	Airbuses (A300 & A310)
  MIDWAY AIRLINES: Gone, nice paint job on the 737-200s
  PIEDMONT AIRLINES: Largest fleet of F28s, but merged with USAIR

  A outstanding display of modern technology.  How were
	the GE CF6 engines?

  See any w/ PW4000s?

	Adios,

	Me.
