Winona Ryder Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 De-icing is never a pleasant procedure ... What's unpleasant about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Found another shot...as recent as 12/21 getting deiced before leaving for Calgary. Our boys are on board. That flight lasted around 40 mins. I like how they chromed the wing tips and parts of the engine covers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winona Ryder Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 It's not really "chromed". The wingtips are aluminum and the lighting is just making them shine. The engine parts are more of a brushed aluminum look, at least the front rings. Anyways, here she is in Vancouver: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winona Ryder Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Probably the location of the plane and the location of the spotter. That and they probably want a decent shot of the tail since the rest is just plain white. I'm sure we'll see more in the future as photogs always like getting the oddball/unusual/rare stuff. These days spotting in Newark is tough or you probably would have seen a ton from there. Dunno de-icing gives me the willies... Heh, always felt like going through a car wash to me.

Masked Fan Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I thought the title of this thread read "Devils' Pirate Aircraft" Figured DPH might be getting a new gig. Oh well. Nice modifications to the plane photoshoppers. I can't believe the thing aint pasted with advertising b.s.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 (edited) Here ya go...also in Vancouver... ah.. very nice. why do the teams (in genaral) use this particular aircraft? Is it b/c of the reliablity, cost to maintain or ?? edit: Do other pro teams use the same type or does it depend on how big the traveling team is?

Is it b/c of the reliablity, cost to maintain or ?? edit: Do other pro teams use the same type or does it depend on how big the traveling team is? It's just a matter of what the charter airline operates and is capable of providing what the team needs capacity wise. Not all teams use the 727. I believe Detroit uses a DC-9, Stars use a 757, I think Columbus had a 737. The Devils used a DC-9 prior to this but it wasn't for their exclusive use. Whatever gets you there. With that said the 727 is an awesome plane so I'm glad that's what they use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winona Ryder Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Some examples of other teams' planes: Obviously not all are painted in team colors as they are part of an airlines or charter company's fleet.

Coorslight Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) Not trying to bump an old topic but I just saw this thread/post on HF and it made me remember this thread from last year. Seems there's been another sighting of our infamous plane yesterday! So coming home from work just now, passing through the 78 East entrance to the Turnpike extension, I see a 727 landing, nothing out of the ordinary.But then I catch the tail, a big ass Devils logo.... My brother is a pilot and flies out of Newark, he says it usually just sits on the north end of the complex doing nothing except when the team's on a roadtrip. Little bit of Googling found these: http://www.airplanephotozone.com/photos.php?id=8696 http://www.airliners.net/photo/Untitled-(N...next_id=1311535 Pretty freakin sweet ride eh? I'm curious though, what the hell was it doin landing tonight? Team should be all here, maybe they're leasing it out to make some more cash?

nmigliore Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Wonder when they will change the tail logo to "MB30". They should just change their main logo to MB30, since "MB30" is the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
