[LegacyIIDriver]

Just when I had hoped this thread would die a painful death you come along with that one! GOOD SHOT MAN!!

How is that a good shot? I never said anything about who showed up first or last... Once again, people reading into things that aren't there. Nice work.

No wonder this board has such a bad rep.

Say what you want. I'm done with this thread (AGAIN).

Everywhere we go does not imply they get there first, though I admit that when we do get there *after* they do we definitely turn around and leave before. I guess they just can't do a quick turn in a G-String...

Well, of course they turn you more quickly. Having a WSCoD sitting on the ramp very long has a kind of Scarecrow Effect on business.

And those Gulfstreams on the ramp where you're doing your tech stop you assume are turning?...not so. They're at their destination and the pilots are already at happy hour. The Gulfstreams you're confusing them with..the ones you'll later see at your destination....didn't need a tech stop, and in fact overflew the field you're refuelling at about an hour before you began your descent.

You better "outcycle" them....you need to.

Overflew it on the way to where? Hawaii? London? I don't do fuel stops. Don't need to for what I do.

I make money for my boss with this bird. That's all that matters.

There are plenty of fractional G-Strings and Falcons out there. If they aren't turning the plane, why are the crews walking around getting fuel, loading bags, filing flight plans, etc.? If they're drinking then they aren't long for the world in this job.

Any more comments you care to misquote/mischaracterize, Mr. Smart Guy?

I was laughing until people started getting personal.

You'll be back....even if at FL370 and Mach .78.....you'll be back -- to defend the WSCoD!!

 

[LegacyIIDriver]

Not for a loooooong while, G2.

Um, I think you mean Mach 0.74, at least according to Embraer's web site... and Embraer claims 3,250 NM at Mach 0.74, not 3,400 NM... Yet again, exaggerations...

Still waiting for the "Legacy II" to show up on Embraer's web site...

Skull-one, Skull-Two... the story never changes...

Yeah, that's what it says. 0.74M at 390 = 3200 NM with reserve. That includes a hold at 5K for 30 minutes after a missed approach and a departure to an alternate 250NM away or so...

We get 3200 NM at .795M however with reserve so the numbers are still conservative. That will change in time. We'll also get a bump when we go to FL410.

It would be a Legacy IV now.

* Legacy I = Prototypes and early production. P engines, beefed up wing structure, no aerodynamic improvements.
* Legacy II = E Engines. Aerodynamic upgrades. Original fuel system. Lightened wing structure. (Was strong enough with the original wing.)
* Legacy III = Updated fuel system with increased capacity.
* Legacy IV = Flight Level 410 Capable. Numerous internal improvements to pax convenience and entertainment systems.


As is quite obvious, I know more about the airplane than you do...so like, put a pie in it.


(Enough with the Skull references, BTW. Nobody cares. Show some maturity and drop it already. If my login worked I'd still be using that screen name here. I changed a password and it quit working. Happens with every login name I use. Change the password and it dumps you permanently. You get it fixed and I'll go back to it.)

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a WSCoD?

 

[LegacyIIDriver]

An utterly ridiculous misnomer.

OK, but that doesn't answer my question? What does it stand for?

From SportCompactCar magazine, info on the 2005 Subaru Legacy:

"To reduce weight, plastics make up the unique intake manifold and the intercooler end-tanks. The intercooler is a high-flow unit, smaller and angled for maximum efficiency with the hood scoop. Manual transmission models weigh 22 lbs less than a WRX STi, though the Spec B variant weighs 22 lbs more thanks to the heavier wheels, tires and brakes."

That's how the Legacy will get to 410...MORE PLASTIC.

Whistiling $#!t Can of Death. It's a ERJ-135 with some leather seats and a sweet pressurization software upgrade....gosh!!!

Check your PM's, btw.
