What I Want Under the Christmas Tree
What I want under the Christmas Tree, hmm . . .
You mean, besides Karlene Petitts new thriller,
Flight For Safety?
(see karlenepetitt.blogspot.com —
its due out very, very soon!)
I have to be honest: it took me a long time to come up with this post. "What I want under the tree" is, frankly, a tough question for "the guy who has everything." I have a home, a loved one, a loving family. I love my kids. I love my job. I love my hobbies. I am secure (or as secure as a pilot could be, anyway!).
And my Capn Aux friends keep me entertained to no end! Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy Holidays to Miss TWA, Swayne, Karim, Junior, Alex, Justin, Mark, Jason, Daniel, Hamza, Jordan, Alvin, Bill, Patrick, Rory, Leslie, Giulia, UK Dave, and all my other wonderful cyber-friends!

So, what is the one thing the Capn who has everything not have?
An airplane!
To wit, here is my Top Ten fantasy rides that I would love to see parked under my tree—i.e., I wish to either Fly for a Living (FL), Fly for Fun (FF), or own (O)!
CAPN AUXS TOP 10 FANTASY JOY RIDES
10.) Boeing 747 (FL)
Who wouldnt want to fly the "Queen of the sky?"
This is perhaps the all-time greatest airliner.
Once upon a time, I came within a hairs breadth of flying this for my airline.
Alas, we only had them for a couple of years, and I was too dang junior at the time, even for a Flight Engineer position!
But I did get a few good jumpseats in er, including a couple rides to Hawaii, Japan and the Philippines . . .
and a fun, quick hop from PHX to LAS—a whopping 45 minute flight.
Too bad GoPros werent around back then!
Id settle for: A-380, B-727 (a classic)
9.) Boeing 777 (FL)
Again, who wouldnt want to drive, well, todays "King of the sky?"
An instant classic, the 777 commands respect everywhere it goes.
A beauty through and through and a marvel of engineering, it is truly Boeings finest bird—for now.
I hated Americans new livery—
until I saw an AA 777 rocketing into the sky out of DFW, emblazoned in all its red, white and blue glory. . .
It gave me goosebumps.
Id settle for: A340, A330.
777—space age technology. But that steering wheel is sooo 20th Century! |
 |
| Id settle for: Nothing less! |
To me, this beauty is aviations all-time greatest bird. Introduced in 1936, it revolutionized air travel as we know it, and is still doing serious work today.
I came close to my dream of flying these while based in the Caribbean, where they are still used as cargo haulers.
You can still snag a nostalgia flight in one if you look real hard. Worth blowing a paycheck on, Id say!
I think this was the first plastic model I ever built, around age 7.
Hence, it became my first love.
Sort of like a first kiss.
Id settle for: Spad, Fokker,
Hell, anything WWI !
6.) Pitts Special (FF)
Sort of a Jenny x 100!
I dont know much about aerobatic aircraft, but I do know this baby has been a force to reckon with since 1944, and remains so today.
Not sure if Id keep my lunch down for an entire aerobatic routine . . .
but Id sure like to find out!
(Are you hearing me, Ron Rapp, over at http://www.rapp.org??)
Come in, over!

| Ron Rapp, his beautiful bride, and their Pitts! http://www.rapp.org |
5.) Wills Wing (O)
Speaking of First Loves, the first craft I ever flew was a hang glider—at age 15.
It remains the single most thrilling moment of my life.
I have always longed to return to my—and aviations—roots.
That of mans simplest attempt to emulate the birds.
Id settle for: any hang glider or ultralight.
4.) F-15 Strike Eagle (FF)-(FL)
On the other end of the spectrum, all pilots feel the need for speed!
My personal Top Gun has always been the F-15. Again, I know nothing about fighters, it just looks, well . . .
BADA$$!

Big or Small A380 vs 787
Big or Small A380 vs 787
Boeing and Airbus have been head-to-head in trying to dominate the commercial airliner market since 2001 (year Airbus SAS was established). Since then, both airliner manufacturers have pumped out thousands of planes and many new designs. The two most recent ones are the A380 "behemoth" from Airbus and the B787 Dreamliner "slick and fast" from Boeing. Both planes boast better fuel efficiency and lower operating costs but exactly which is better?
Airbus A380
- 49% more seating than the Boeing 747 and 4 times more than the Boeing 787
- Expensive ($280 million)
- More entertainment (bars and Jacuzzis)
- The larger area of the A380 is possibility for many airlines to incorporate shops, arcades, and restaurants to make travelling much more enjoyable
- Can be used to carry heavy cargo
- More people one trip = less fuel (more fuel used per trip but less trips)
- Very quiet
Boeing 787
- Fast and slick (means you get there faster)
- Cheap
- Less entertainment
- Airports do not have to redesign to accommodate the 787
- Lighter weight = less fuel (less fuel used per trip but more trips)
- Very quiet
- Pressurized for lower altitude and high humidity (sited from)
