Name that plane

Hmm IMHO BA started sliding well before 1999, it was more like 1994 form my experience. I am now one of the avoid BA and Heathrow at all costs business travelers. I have even spent the night at Munich to avoid BA and Heathrow.

I agree. Wife and I had a flight London to Athens in 1993 - horrible. Lousy cabin staff, dirty plane. Ugh.

Didn't fly BA again until '02 out of BWI. Pretty generic flight, which is tepid praise for transatlantic service. Flew home on the Concorde which was a whole 'nother story!

Heck I got to land behind one of those bloody things on my first solo in Oshkosh. Granted it was like the 6th touch and go I did that day

I had the 146 guessed right away but Greg had been sitting at the computer waiting... gosh!

William Moncrief comes into Austin frequently, including every single home game. "Lucky Liz" was landing yesterday as I was taxiing out with a discovery flight. He takes up a good bit of space on the Atlantic ramp but not near as much as a 737 that's been hanging around this past week. The plane is named for his mother.

His family has quite a history starting with his father...

Close. I guessed it was British from the old identification guide, "If it's ugly, it's British. If it's weird, it's French. And, if it's ugly and weird, it's Russian." So I fed in something like British aircraft and the first hit led me to it rather quickly. And, I was lucky.
