Yeah, it’s wicked long. But, it’s almost impossible unless you go full stick backwards all the way till rotation speed.

The 737-800/900 though is a totally different story. That’s easy to tail strike.

Oh wow, would never have picked that. I always thought a321 looked way longer and therefore easier to strike. A340-600. Now that’s a long aircraft!

Yeah the 73-800/900 is about 4 feet lower to the ground with gear down than the Airbus.

This is a pic of a SWA 73-800 when they first got them years ago. Literally, took 3 days to tail strike haha.

Wow wow wow wow wow!!!

I’d love to fly the 350! How is it? I can only imagine.

I wish domestically here in the U.S we’d fleet with 350’s rather than Boeing’s. Couldn’t imagine flying anything other than the Bus.

Oh it is such a pleasure to fly!

Very comfortable cabin altitude, MASSIVE cockpit, and a ton of features added for pilots to get lazier :D

Flew the 320 family for 4 years before I transferred onto the 350.
Just like you, I couldn’t imagine flying anything else (granted I never did fly a Boeing aside from the simulators)
Stay safe buddy!
Here’s a vintage GMT on board

My man!

That’s awesome.

Such a stunning vintage collection for such a equally stunning aircraft.

Fly safe too!

This thread makes me wonder if wealth flaunting will wane as the economy sinks further into a recession.

Doubt it'll have much effect here on a forum dedicated to the purchase and celebration of luxury timepieces.

Are those marks on minute, hour and GMT hands because of metal tweezer?

Not if you are well diversified...if your investment strategy accounts for the unexpected, you’re not over leveraged and cash reserves are flush, your wealth could continue to increase. I just purchased this truck without hesitation of the current crisis.

Paulgt3 · 30 March 2020, 10:54 AM

Talking about luxury items in a forum dedicated to those specific luxury items is not flaunting. Going to your buddies house in your McClaren after he’s lost his job is flaunting. Posting here is not.
Well said Todd.

A lot of the marks seen are reflections, but yes, these 40-50 year old watches easily have some scuffs on them due to service in the past, many also have some pitting - which I actually like for some odd reason.

The only deal breaker for me would be a ding or chip on the actual dial.
