My dad is a driver for greyhound, and he said that the moment they started up bussiness in the airline world it started having negative effects right from the get go

Nationair

A charter carrier, used by the Canadian Forces to fill the gap between the departure of our 707's, and the arrival of the Airbus. Flew with them into Lahr a number of times in the early '90's. Memories of Service Dress-clad squaddies, crammed like sardines into one of their DC-8's, with unbelievably BAD inflight grub, even by Army standards...

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest!

The DC-8 outfit in Calgary was "Advance Air Charters".
Additionally, 'Fortunair' wasn't destined for fortune, and 'Destinair' had a date with destiny, but no future.

even the 742's ????????

i know the 27's were rockets & especially on the slide , but i thought the jumbo's owned the .mach @ FL's ?

Based on what I've observed on radar, the 727 is consistently in the top three fastest types if you're talking commercial airliners. The only other two types that will consistently match the 27 are the 744 and the MD11, followed closely by the 767. But frequently the 27 still has 20-30kts on those guys. The 27 will sometimes cruise 100+kts faster than a 320/737/RJ.

There aren't even many bizjets that I've observed that are as fast as the 27.

I guess from an Mmo perspective, when all types are considered, both the B744 and the C750 (Citation X) are rated highest at M0.92.

So at least the deafening roar from those three holes is not in vain... Not bad for a type that has been flying for decades.

When YYT 's airport authority seized one of Canada 3000's planes, thus the cascading bankruptcy, I remember a bunch of Newfies all excited because they thought Triton Airlines had now gotten themselves a plane!
