  • World's Biggest Truck

    The size of this beast being refuelled puts a 747 to shame......payload 400 tons, 3600 hp twin V-12 diesels. I was coordinating the refilling of the tank when two pulled up for 1500 gallons each. Tires alone weigh 11,500 lbs each and cost $75K per, the box weighs 100K. Love aircraft but looking at these close up (very heightened awareness when you are sharing road with them in that puny Titan, my work truck) always gives me a tingle.

      Citation XXXX traffic 11 o'clock, 1,000 above...space shuttle. Expect higher when clear.

                      No Shit its a Concorde..................

                      BTW I think he should be able to fly the 200 as well. From what I know at Air Canada Jazz when you fly the CRJ-200 you are certified on the CRJ-705.

                        Its a -700. At my airline we fly the 700 or the 200. Flight attendants can switch back and forth though.
