The Last One in the World: Flying on Asiana’s Non-ER Boeing 767-300

While the 767-300ER is, with nearly 600 airframes built, the most successful variant of Boeing 767, that cannot be said about the 767-300, of which only 104 airframes were built. With the considerably more capable ER version being introduced just a couple of years after the non-ER version, only a handful of airlines ever operated

Catching the Elusive EMB-120: A Short But Fun Aeroexpress Regional Flight

I remember the first time I consciously saw an EMB-120, a now out-of-production Embraer turboprop. It was at Bratislava Airport, back in 2005 when I was just starting my plane spotting and aviation geek journey.
