What is the deal with ORD???
Flew in there and they let crap tons of UAL and AA go in front of us while we were [attempting] taxiing to the gate…and then again while we were [attempting] taxiing to the runway for takeoff. They should probably make us eat poop sandwiches too.
LATE ENTRY: Also, they landed us on the northern most “back forty” runway…way freaking far away from our gate…I’m pretty sure our taxi-in time at ORD was more than our actual DTW - ORD flight time.

Probably how they feel when they land at ATL… hubs be like that.
Also, never, ever fly anything but Delta to ATL- they will make you regret it, lose your bags, and generally treat you like shit. Thank you for tuning into my public safety announcement.
What are the future plans when the A-10’s are gone (sometime next year or two)?
F-35s for all my friends?
Yeppers…even for old rotorheads like @mad dog and @ChuckMK23.
Of course, we only got to eyeball it from a distance…but at least we got to eyeball it thanks to @Python…
The F35 is so fearsome, that you could wrap an F35 outer mold line around a T6 (can’t see a spinning prop) and it would win the day through intimidation.
Seriously though, there’s real benefit to making every plane in the fleet look like an F35. Think about it.
Is the F-35B APU broken? Interesting that they have a huffer attached.
Whole team of marine wrench turners going at it so likely
I think that's just a NC-10 (or whatever the AF designation is) for power. The umbilical wouldn't be able to move any air since it's kinked up (and has a really small diameter).
I was curious about the 4-engined bird behind the F-35, zoomed in...and found the last DC-8 still flying in the US! After NASA retired their DC-8 last year a couple of articles noted that Samaritan's Purse would be the last operator of the type here, and apparently they intend to retire it at the end of the year.
