michael301757 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Hi everyone, this was a very enjoyable build of a type that is now disappearing fast, it was pretty much oob with the addition of a flying colors detail sheet and cockpit windows from authentic airliners, I was fortunate to log a number of flights in these during the 90's when AA were actually reducing the number of seats in economy and creating better legroom,I remember them being very comfortable to fly on,cant imagine that scenario ever happening again nowadays , great memories.

jeaton01 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Very nice. I had a lot of flights in those in the 80's. It was fun to sit in the back in turbulence, you could see the fuselage flex up and down at both ends of that long cabin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbofan Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hi Michael, Nice finish! What did you use for the nmf? The Authentic cockpit windows really make a difference don't they? Looking forward to seeing more of your airliners. Cheers, Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeroNautique Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Beautiful NMF, I booked connecting flights through the US last year specifically so I could fly on a 'Mad Dog' 82...ended up doing Columbus-Dallas, AA put on quite a show as we had a Medal of Honour recipient onboard. We'll miss these when they're gone, airliners are getting boring these days... Anyway, enough about all that - you've done a fantastic job, thanks for sharing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
