The end of "Texas BlueBonnet?"

[CF34-3B1]

I always hated going to DFW, but i have to agree the OPs there were awesome. As far as the BlueBonnet,. UGH! I HATED flying that plane,. UGLY.. and slider 1 (the ATL schemed plane in which the gear collapsed) wasnt much better. The Olympic paint was cool.

Slider 1 was a Brasilia. (So was Slider 2)

The RJ that had the gear collapse was Slider 3 if I remember.

So why were they called slider?

They need to re-paint the Stone Mountain plane. It is the ugliest plane in the fleet.

Goat

You mean "the Big Zit"?

Most beautiful women in the world are from Texas...

There is a saying, 9 out of 10 Texas women are beautiful. The 1 goes to Rice. If you have ever been on the Rice campus you tend to believe that.

Funny how it works, but when the gear isn't down, the plane slides to a stop. Who needs brakes?

I wasn't here for it, but apparently there was some weird way that the gear horn could be avoided or caused to not work.

The first one was in Brazil, was it not? Not sure about Slider 2...

I hate Texas like any other Atheist liberal but I think that was a pretty sharp looking airplane.

Some of us atheist liberals like Texas, guns, and beer, but that's another discussion.

I always liked that plane too.

As a Texan I take exception to that statement, maybe you haven't seen the aircraft? Also, it closes the chapter on what had to be the best time at ASA. The DFW hub rocked, hands down.

Cheers- Rum

Amen

And yes, the "ant hill" is still the ugliest aircraft ever operated!

This is a universal problem...not limited to Texas. As a society, we reallly screwed up when we made the mistake of letting women think we care about what they have to say...

I wasn't talking about the "universal problem". I was talking about the accent.
