What is TCB DC-8 plane? Hi Aharon Airside TV appear to have used for their YouTube Podcast a screenshot of a DC-8 Cargo Plane in the livery for Brazilian Airline Transportes Chartres Do Brasil TCB, In the real world it was flown out from Sao Paulo Brazil many years ago on the Brazilian Cargo domestic routes. It has the Brazilian registration PP-TPC This real world DC-8 Plane is of national significance to New Zealander's as it's ex Air New Zealand original Teal DC-8 ZK-NZC that was delivered to New Zealand in 1965 and entered service on the Trans-Tasman routes. It's the same DC-8 Plane that...

I think one of the new guys at work used to fly it for these flights, will have to get some information from him about it

Great news. I'm sure you will enjoy the lifestyle on the 777. However make sure you enjoy your remaining time on the ATR. It is the best flying (and most rewarding) flying you will do in your airline career. I certainly enjoyed my time on the F27 (Hands on flying and the ground staff at the provincial airports were really great). Flying a heavy jet is all about management. Look forward to catching up. I'll shout you a beer or 2.

They are quite large space craft and have been filmed doing the business.

Brave boys considering the c130's rap for shedding wings. :o

I read recently in New Zealand Aviation news that there been having a few issues with the Kc-390. What about a Ac130 :P And suddenly the Embraer KC-390 looms larger in the picture! I had forgotten the tie-up: This is because Boeing already has a joint venture with Embraer on its KC-390 cargo/tanker in which Boeing markets the plane in return for service revenues for the fleet." Actually it is very well suited to the task. This would be a happy coincidence if purchased...

Thanks Lindstrum and Cowpatz for kind explanations

Might be showing Bob Jones a new one again
