Correct....you're up!

You don't have to be a hoe no more!

What was the first US airline to introduce the CRJ?

Correct....your up!

Think smaller. This other jet was Boeing's most succesful aircraft until the 737 showed up on the scene. IIRC,just about every major US airline operated this aircraft.

Southwest is famous for only operating the B737. But they did operate another type of Boeing...which model?

Boeing 777-200LR

Correct ENY! Your next up.

The name change to Trans World happened in the 50s. Looking for the original name.

I'll give up an easy one this time: What did TWA originally stand for?

Hong Kong-Kai Tak

Ding,Ding,Ding we have a winner! You're up!

Come on ENY....show me what ya got!

First flight was in 1954 and has been in continuous production/service with the USAF since that time.

Not a fighter.

What is the only aircraft to remain in continuous production for over 50 years with it's launch customer. Hint: Launch customer was the Air Force

F-22 Raptor

Cee-Lo FTW!

What annoys me can be summed up in one word: R160s!

One of the reasons why I like this website is because I'm around folks who like or even love all things transit. Most here know that we don't have one of the most "normal" hobbies but I can say I think it's the most fun. So what got YOU into being a transit fan? Myself, I grew up the kid of a CTTransit B/O in Hartford,CT. I literately grew up in the garage and on the buses. I guess you could say it was kinda preordained that I was gonna drive a bus of some kind. As I got older I got interested in airplanes, ships and to a lesser extent....trains,but the buses have always had my heart. I remember loving riding with my dad of the F1 line in the fishbowls. Sitting in the back while that 6V92 screamed its way up Asylum Hill was awesome. Didn't really like the Grummans,but having A/C in the summer was a plus. And the MCI Classic's IMO were the best buses CTTransit ever purchased. Then the D40HFs and Nova's showed up in the mid-90s and it made it fun to ride around all day. And while I like them when the LFs showed up I wasn't really enamored with the "tissue box on wheels" look,but the performance those buses have won me over. And it's still fun now. I see some of the now-senior guys who started with my dad back in the 80s and I remember what a bunch of cowboys they were (or in my dad's case,still is:p) and now I see the new generation of drivers out there and in a way its kinda sad. Alot of the camaraderie is gone, guys don't wave,make funny faces or flash the high beams anymore. But hey we always got the buses!

I don't know if we had one of these threads but I feel like venting so here we go: Things that annoy me: People who show up with 75lb bags and get pissed when I tell them to load them themsevles. People who think they are going to sit right behind me and talk loudly on their cell phone for the 182 mile ride from Providence to New York People who get pissed that we arrived 15 mins late into New York on a Friday afternoon. Co workers who have a skewed sense of what's important. Write up that a reading light is not working, but slow brakes are A-OK! The company for cutting a schedule but still selling tickets for it, causing my schedule to leave 25 people behind Fri,Sat and Sun. The company for governing the new eqiupment to 65mph for "fuel consevation". Give me back my 70-75mph please! The moron that approved 6 street fairs in Manhatten for yesterday. Thanks for the extra hour of OT that I didn't want. The Yankees for having 705pm games all this week.....I won't get home on time all week long!

I like the little hole in the wall place @ 9th and 41st across from the PABT. $1 slices and it's really good. It works for those of us on a tight turn.
