I'm still alive and well I was simply eaten alive by a very busy month. Good news though I've been fortunate enough to be able to take another crack at that whole "school" thing and the main campus happens to be directly beneath the 4L and 4R arrivals to KBOS at the point where the planes are ~1000ft so I got to see this beauty while waiting for the bus. Huge win for this blog.

Polairoids by Outlander Magazine

[autism-corner]

she put the polairoid that was taken of us (ONLY us) in her phonecase. its only that picture and some sticker behind it. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO REACT. like. thats definitely gay, right? RIGHT? man.

rant about irl stuff bc i need to talk about this sheesh. no bad shit just. fluff that i dont know how to deal with.

alright so at work (server) we have a dishwasher-person and. shes so fun and cool. we often hang out during work and maybe sometime after and stuff. i have jokingly proposed to her with a rubber monkey ring ive found on the ground, which she accepted. all the fun things. i think i like her as more than a friend. (but also like. the whole aroace i am so... i like her as more than a friend. 'she's different'. whatever.)

(btw literally at least a couple of other coworkers, including my fucking 'manager' (its a smaller buisiness idk what he is) thinks we have fucking date-potential/we have been dating. one of em asked her best friend is we were like. together (like probably more than a year ago but still). we're THAT gay. she's bi so i also dont have to worry about my whole transness)

so tonight we had a bbq with all the coworkers and whonot. she's there. we talk and hang out and shit but. regular style. we get paired up for the pub-quiz. we sit together. maybe thighs touching but like. yaknow. at some moment, i think about halfway trough she puts her arm on my backrest of this big-ol couch were sitting on. damn.

at one point i just sit back. arm stays there. arm sometimes wraps around my shoulder. keeps rubbing my shoulder in those sweet touches-way. sometimes we lean our heads onto the other's shoulder aswell. sometimes she reaches fucking out and literally plays with my hair. caresses me, if you will.

its definetely flirting. i think im very confident in that. i do not know, however, how to respond to it. man.

this sounds like a fucking romance novel bc ofc she's leaving in 2 months to spend 6 months overseas.

Ok so this morning I had this sudden epiphany by looking at the fire burning chair polairoid that has been brought up by a fan that got into the rep room this weekend. By the way I looked at i thought I had already seen that tree! And look, I might be wrong and might be a stretch but look at it!!! @swift-klossy

icelandic domestic airline ernir/eagle air (dornier 328 i believe)

Yes the 328! Among the wrigglier-looking props out there. Thank you for sending her in!

[runwayrunway]

her

THE CARBON FIBER MERMAID! I actually am very fond of China Airlines' manufacturer fusion liveries and think they do a very good job of melding the two designs into each other and the A350 livery is imo the better of the two by far. The way that purple fades into the lattice pattern is so pleasing. (Also, the big A350 text keeps the fuselage having at least something in it - though I do wish they'd done something with tne engines.) They're a neat couple of planes to see wandering the tarmacs of the world and I'm jealous you got to meet her.

[runwayrunway]

saw some fun girls on my way back from thanksgiving, including

Very Big Girl

Tiny Stubby Girl

and of course my favorite airline, Safety Training

That livery really assists the later/longer 747s in a trait I would call Grabbability - you should be able to just wrap your hand around her.

The safety training airplane is apparently a decommissioned airframe used to train first responders for on-airport emergencies. Some exciting stuff was happening at the airport that day!

When I was learning this I also learned This, which I felt like I had to share just for the mental image of the school bus with wings. That's sort of a Mythbusters contraption.

[runwayrunway]

Watching an old (1965) movie about stewardesses - not ten minutes in and Lufthansa spotted

Utterly fascinating because as far as I had been aware this livery was introduced in 1970! Maybe they just decided only their 707s got to look good. Despicable.

Please do tell what movie, though! That sounds interesting.

[runwayrunway]

i thought southwest was all 737s?? why does she look so stubby???

Southwest is all 737s, yes! It's wild how quickly the 737's reputation has changed because they used to be The stubby plane.

There are four 'generations' of 737 - original (100/200), Classic (300/400/500), Next Generation (600/700/800/900), and MAX (8M/9M/7M and 10M when those enter service). The first 737 model from all the way back in the 60s, the -100, looked like This:

(They only made 30 of them and they were basically all Lufthansa's, but I think NASA might still have one)

Because, you see, the 737 was intended to be strictly a short-range jet carrying small amounts of passengers and because of that it was absolutely teeny. It was actually meant to compete with planes as small as the Fokker F28, and in modern terms I'd compare it to something like an A318 or E170 (except far more limited in range). Original 737s operated routes you'd probably use props for today. They were literally made to take over on routes too small and low-capacity for the 727.

(Check out those weird stretched out nacelles - those are JT8Ds, and they're most prominently also used on the DC-9 but you can also find them on some 727s, some Caravelles, and one of my favorite obscure failed airliners, the Dassault Mercure. Get a long, little engine, they said. You can tell original 737s apart from Classics because those ones have regular(ish) engines.)

Then for some reason Boeing just kept stretching her?

737-200 of United Airlines | 737-300 (Classic) of LOT Polish Airlines

737-500 (Classic) of Southwest Airlines | 737-600 (Classic) of Air Algérie

737-700 (NG) of Southwest Airlines | 737-800 (NG) of Southwest Airlines

737 MAX 8 of Southwest Airlines

And now they're comparable to 757s, for some reason. I have a massive soft spot for the old stubby 737s. To me that's what a 737 is supposed to be. But the -800 was the most produced until the MAX 8, which I believe has similar numbers, so those are what people are most used to seeing if they grew up after the 727 era.

As for Southwest, they operated the 200, 300, and 500, and right now they operate the 700, 800, and MAX 8. They're planning to replace the 700s with MAX 7s, but those aren't getting built yet...so you got to see the 700, which, despite all the stretching, manages to hold onto some of the stubby glory the 800 and MAX lost. I think the Southwest livery looks extra good on her because of it 😊

[runwayrunway]

was thinking about your condor review earlier today. got out of work and saw this. there they are. the stripes

Maybe all the people who keep saying it's dazzle camo are onto something because the green livery really does create a weird effect when you see it from below like this. I don't even dislike it.
