Nice pic. I LOVE all the 747s (Dreamlifters, too!) And you also got tons of twin jets. I wanted to ask which one (Bottom Middle or Bottom Right) is N718BA? Again great photo!

For those making remarks about reaping rewards, it might be helpful if you actually knew the history. The current VC-25A/Air Force One aircraft, including the one in this photo, have been in use since 1990 (tail 28000) and 1991 (tail 29000). And in case you cannot grasp that part of the history, the sitting President when these planes were put into service was George Herbert Walker Bush. In 1990/1991, no one had any idea who would be the 45th or 46th President of the United States! The purchase of these aircraft had nothing to do with political party. Believe it or not but there was a time when country was more important than party or politician!

Sorry James neither of those could pace a 757 for a decient shot. Look at the window on the right-hand photog station, that wingtip & wing tank look like a vintage Lear Jet with some serious port side mods for photog stations...

They could (and still can) carry a vehicle inside the hold on the power of 2 ultra reliable TPE 331's. Nothing else available that can do that.

I lived in Southern Alberta during the 1970s and 1980s and flew an airline called Time Air. Southern Alberta is one of the most windy places on earth and Time Air flew these for a number of years. Always wondered why in the world the airline flew these. Bought cheaply?

Prior to being acquired by the present owner, this SAAB flew for Crossair and Swiss as HB-IZE, for OLT (Germany) as D-AOLA, and for Eastern Airways (Britain) as G-CERY.

More info from a plaque at the memorial site:
"Chandler's F-86D"
"This F-86d Sabre Dog airplane is on loan from the National Museum of the US Air Force. It was first on display in A.J. Chandler Park in 1961 in recognition of the strong relationship between Chandler and nearby Williams Air Force Base. During a 1980's renovation of the park, the plane was moved a few blocks to the corner of Delaware Street and Chandler Boulevard. It became part of Chandler's Verteran's Memorial here at Veterans Oasis Park in 2021."

Nice pic. Per the FAA, it seems this is a Beta Air ALIA-250. It's an interesting aircraft. I couldn't find an ICAO aircraft type code for it.

Back in the 90's I had a flight on a Tu-154 from Frankfort to Riga, Latvia. I had arrived in Frankfort from the states aboard a 747, so the Tupolev wasn't exactly inspiring. But it was a reasonably comfortable and uneventful flight. When we landed in Riga, all the passengers (mostly Russian nationals) erupted in thunderous applause and cheers. I concluded that they must have known more about the Tu-154 than I did, so I joined the celebration. Pretty sure I saw flasks (vodka?) pass among a few of the celebrants. The thing that stands out in my memory of that plane was its corrugated rudder.

The original MD-11's had a extra fuel cell in the horizonal tail section because they could not meet the MD guaranteed operating range

The reason for the triple bogie gear is because of the crappy runways in the Soviet Union in many cases not hard coat paved just gravel

It was a very nice plane, it's a shame that we hardly see any more.
