[Fot] Funny and Interesting Quote on Planes and Triumphs

[Doug Mitchell]

>From the Detroit Free Press, Sunday 05-02-2010
in a travel section article:
Planes: All except two were your basic crowded
Boeing 737s or Airbus A319s.
The smallest was
a surprisingly comfortable 60-seat Embraer RJ145
from Houston
to Mexico City. The oldest was a
1970s B-era DC-9 on a Delta route between
Detroit
and Hartford, Conn. When things got bumpy, that
DC-9 bounced around
like a dog on a trampoline.

b
When are you going to get rid of this old
plane?b
 I
asked the pilot as we were exiting. He grinned and
said he loved
flyB-ing it because it was reliable and
like driving his old TriB-umph sports
car.
