Airport transport
Judging by the mountains in the background, can I assume this is DF Malan airport in the mid-70's?

Re: Airport transport
two things....
i would love to know what airport that was.
secondly..
i never knew the 737's had the bigger engines in those day's
thought they only had the slim looking G.E. engines not the large RR's
any aircraft mac's here that know more about those engines ?

Re: Airport transport
Think at the time the client could specify if he wanted RR or GE power for his plane?
Those days airports were operated by SAA. The Acsa only took over in the 80's i think. Saa had many kombis and beetles. Baywindow doublecabs were fitted with a roof rack and ladder. These were used as pilot's transport to and from planes.

Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.

Re: Airport transport
That is still the case today. Certainly for Boeing, not so sure about Airbus.Dawie wrote:Think at the time the client could specify if he wanted RR or GE power for his plane?

Re: Airport transport
The thin type 737 engine was the Pratt & Whitney JT8D i think? And some of the larger high bypass turbofans made by GE.

Re: Airport transport
Not a mac but a pilot... Not a 737 but an Airbus A300. The Boeing 737-200's you are thinling of have Pratt & Whitney JT8D turbofans not GE's. The pics were taken at D.F. Malan Airport now known as Cape Town International.splitbusahollic wrote:two things....

Re: Airport transport
I might be getting old and senile but if that picture was at DF Malan, it's taken donkeys years ago and I doubt if there was a company called Airbus then.

Re: Airport transport
We're all getting old and senile me included!
Look at the position of the doors. The shape of the cockpit windscreens. And the thingies below the wings. SAA did indeed operate Airbus A300 planes donkey years ago. Was actually waiting for Variant to comment.
Just my humble half cent.

Re: Airport transport
The Airbus A300 is a short- to medium-range widebody jet airliner. Launched in 1972 as the world's first twin-engined widebody, it was the first product of Airbus Industrie. A300B2-200: first delivery to South African Airways in 1976
