Team left today for AZ via HIA
- Thread starter Richard the LIONhearted
- Start date
They need to make a stop to pick up the onion dip. Nothing but the best for Fats.
My guess is the players were allowed to visit home for a few days before heading west. For most of them it's more convenient to catch the flight at MDT than it is to go to SCE.
Could be plane size ... just a quick glance but that looked like a 767 or 777 (no winglets)
I didn t think UP can handle anything bigger than 757
HOW runway is 10k ft

Thought it was an airport call letters
My wife Karen only allows me one vulgarity a day, I'm saving it for the next round of acronyms .

Quick trivia question-what airline did the 1986 team charter for the Fiesta Bowl against Miami? And type of aircraft?
I'm so pissed i put in that 767 .. I knew it was triple 7 based on the tail but I thought the engine maybe was distorted looking through the glass so I threw the 767 out there ...
Checking back seeing that tweet about it being the first 777 at HIA. Odd I would have guess FedEx has had one land there

*mic drop*
Now on to the Lightning Round: please tell me the make/model charter buses the Lions took from the airport back to State College

I'd think a 777 would be way too big to fill it up. Looks like UPS/Fedex only fly A300s and 757s there.
Not a Prevost... here's a hint

Yes it has because any plane that carries the President call sign is changed to Air Force 1.
The plane that carried Obama to UP was actually The VP plane and a military version 757.
747-400 at 30% fuel requires a runway nearly 7k feet according to wiki to land Maybe it came to rest in the field ...
A 777. That's a pretty-big-ass airplane. Although, slightly smaller than the 747 they took down to Jacksonville for the Alligator Bowl a couple years ago.
So either (1) down-sizing the amount of University officials who go on these Bowl junkets, or (2) more likely, United isn't using their 747's at all any more, even for charters.
United no longer using their 747 airframes; last flight was in November

I see they currently have 88 triple-sevens in the United fleet**

It was a military version of the 757.
