    Wanna Buy a MD-90 or B747?

    from FlightGlobal:

    Saudi Arabian puts over 40 MD-90s and 747s up for sale
    By David Kaminski-Morrow

    Saudi Arabian Airlines has put more than 40 of its aircraft up for sale including most of its older Boeing 747s and practically its entire Boeing MD-90 fleet.

    The Jeddah-based flag-carrier is offering 28 MD-90s as well as nine 747-300s and five 747-100s. All the aircraft are owned by the airline.

    Powered by International Aero Engines V2500 powerplants, the MD-90s are between seven and 10 years old. Saudi Arabian has configured them with 18 first-class and 103 economy-class seats.

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Were those 741s still in service?
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    I would like to see Delta jump for some of those MD-90s. Or even Midwest Airlines to replace the MD-80 fleet. But I think Midwest already order some 737NGs. So maybe if Delta was smart, they can add some more MD-90s to their fleet.

    Those 90's are not common with the Delta 90's. They are common swith the MD-11. Systems etc are MD-11 at Saudi. This is what I heard but Midnight Mike could be able to tell us diffrent.
