I think it would be cool to take a flight on the a300, or the a310.

The Concorde was grounded for more reasons not only that, but it had a toll in the retirement. I’d love to fly the MD-11

I love that plane!

#34

So I have a question, When aircraft fly higher, its speed decrease more due to air pressure right?

#35

Md-11 American and DC-9 Texas Airlines.

#36

No, less air means less air resistance and allows the plane to go faster, but the IAS will read lower.

#37

But the airspeed is slower

#38

IAS is not the only indication of speed.

MaxSez, “None”. I schedule Commercial by Tyoe. After my last go to Hawaii I’ll never fly a B-777 again!
