It was quite the show. I wish I could have gone, but I was on a trip though I got into LA a day later, and there were a TON of red wearing Wisconsins at the layover hotel.

Thanks Carl,

Also, how much fuel can the 747 hold?

My parents were out there and part of the mix. Lots of red.

It depends on the density of the fuel, but the max is around 365,000 pounds.

Who won the bet?

BTW, PilotFrog, congrats (if a little belated) to you on a great Rose Bowl victory. Sure was a fun game to watch.

DAL get discounts around Vail - not sure about the rest. Check DALPA forum for more info or the DLNet website.

You can't buy multi-day tickets at the discount though. Have fun!

I think LCC uses Rolls Trent on their A330-200, not sure about the -300. Totally different engine than DL A330s. Not sure that would make sense.
