Another weird Airliners.net caption

[Typhoon1244]

Take a look at this: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/757162/M/

"Trijet?" Is this a nickname for the 7-3 I'm unfamiliar with?

Looks like 1/4mi fog, but we'll call it 1mi just to be safe....

 

[Pull & Rotate]

The 727 is the airplane most people refer to as the trijet. However, I've heard others refered to that as well. DC-10, MD-11, L-1011, and DA-50/Da-900 for example.

I guess the photographer posts on Flightinfo because he changed the remark...

Or one of airliners.net's regular users (that happen to be typed on *every aircraft*) told him it wasn't right.

Its now the most popular photo of yesterday, and the caption is back. (See reflection?... I'm trying here, but I still don't get it.)

Nice pic though, I like the ambiance.

 

[I.P. Freley]

Perhaps the "author" was referring to the reflection of the starboard engine in the polished (and therefore reflective) portion of the fuselage...

A tenuous link, to be sure, and not very funny either.

 

[OrphicSeth]

Yeah, that's what I kind of figured... I guess it's to be expected.

It has an APU, doesn't it? Therefore, 737: trijet.

727: quadjet.

747: quintjet

B-52: Uhhh....Uhhh...my head hurts.
