only in a blue moon

What are some of the things that you have never, and probably will never witness in civil aviation.

Here's a few of mine:

-An American A340 (AA, UA, NW, CO, US, DL)
-A Japanese A340 (ANA, JAL)
-A Korean A340 (Korean, Asiana)
-A B744 Combi with Rolls Royce Engines
-Cathay Pacific using Pratt&Whitney engines (except for the old 707s)
-Lufthansa, Air Canada, or Virgin flying a 777!
-Amerian Airlines or Delta flying a 747-400

Hi,

A Ryanair A32X (Although a while back they some on order but cancelled them for 737-800's)

Thanks

A Southwest as anything other than B737.

In terms of flights we probably won't see any of these routes in the future (hope I'm not off topic):

El Al flight: TEL AVIV - BAGHDAD
Northwest flight: DETROIT - PYONGYANG


And this is off topic for sure:

An A380 "Airforce One"

I could imagine an A 340-600 in NWA colours very well. They have A 330's on order and have many A 320's. In a few years they will replace the 742.

I can't see any American airline to order the A 380

When I last looked at Fedex, I believe they were American .... .

A couple of things you are never going to see:

- US airlines using the MRAF, the Military Reserve Air Fleet, in times of constraint
- the Pope deboarding Alitalia without kissing the ground
- EL AL flying on a Saturday
- Markus Seiler successfully running an airline in Switzerland
- an Airbus aircraft that is built and assembled in one single place

Post more when more come to my mind.

Regards,
Peter

I mean the passenger version of the A 380. I forgot the A 380F.
