He He He! A very funny strip. So is there a particular reason why Hans has been flying with Chuck lately? Taking flying lessons or something? Just curious. Happy Independece Day, by the way. |:)\

fat jokes are great!  ;D

Hey, ...uhm...
at which weight would a plane be considered "a heavy"?
Does it even go by weight?
Or are all airliners automatically Heavies?

I thought they (ATC) used the "HEAVY" designation on any wide body such as DC-10, 747, 777, ETC. ???
Interesting question though---I'm still looking.

I was just wondering....isn't the light/medium/heavy classification related to the wake turbolence they develop?!? (so, in that case it's also related to weight). and maybe there is a kind of list of aircraft that says which aicraft must go into a category or another....

Morning toughts....   :) :) :)

Thanks for the effort guys!

Brings up another question though.... When is a plane called a "wide body" then?
Does it go by how many seats are in a row?
(I know my questions might be stupid...sorry)



Hans is kind of a "wide-body", huh?!  ::)   ;D ;D

Oh, I can't help you with this question. I had never heard the expression wide body before.  ??? ??? ???
HAHAHAHA! Poor Hans! He won't have any respect since he doesn't lose some weight! The strange is, that yogurt is not so bad: you could find it in almost every regime!!! YOu sure he did not run a beer factory instead?!?

Wake turbulence is probably a factor---I agree |:)\

I always thought it was wide-bodies that were heavy.  The wake turbulence theory is a sound one, though.  Is it in the AIM?
