@manifestgtr Last I checked, the landing fee at Logan was more like $28, plus a $20 ramp/handling fee (waived if you purchase fuel). That was 12+ years ago, so it may have gone up since then. It's a very busy airport and small private planes are not welcome there.
However...when/if you do your IFR training, you and your instructor *might* be able to shoot an instrument approach there on certain days when it's not too busy.
@alexn726 yeah those steep prices don't surprise me a bit. Like I said, the estimates I provided were from the last time I checked (about 12 or 13 years ago).
The $56 "security fee" was probably put in place after 9/11. That would be my guess.
They were only produced in the 90s. You must be getting them confused with something else. Perhaps you are thinking of the 707 or 727 which are both practically non-existent (the 727 is really only used for cargo now).
According to Wikipedia, only 156 were produced. They are basically just like the Boeing MD-80 just newer and I believe smaller.
Replaced by the CRJ? No, not at all. The Boeing 717is in the 100 pax. area and most CRJ-900s are 90 seats. Of course, there aren't a ton of CR9s out there (most are CR7s or smaller).
Also, just to add. The two United States airlines that are known for flying the 717 are AirTran (which has a fair amount of them since they were the launch customer) and Hawaiian Airlines.
Midwest was also a huge customer for the Boeing 717. They and AirTran Airways were the last to receive deliveries of the aircraft at a ceremony held in 2006.
Well i will be going to highshool there. I was wondering if i would get my ass beat? uz its a ity shool. DO u think the kids there are rough? And be 100% honest. Im just going to keep to myself and not start shit.
Great video!! I love landing in Boston, some of the best views ever!

I know about the 707 and 727... 717's are just rare I guess. Replaced with the CRJ?

@alexn726 There are still a few 707's and 727's flying around, however they are dominant in cargo these days.

Im guessing that was an Airtran 717. Am i right?
AmericanGi370 2 years ago
You are correct.
alexn726 2 years ago
Sorry i feel like a dumbass. I didnt see that it said it was an Airtran 717. But i just knew cuz of the distictive noise the 717's engine makes.

Oh, and do you live in the Boston area? Because i live in Gulf Shores, Alabama but im moving to Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2 weeks.
AmericanGi370 2 years ago
Lol...no need to apologize. I actually forgot to include the aircraft information at first.
I live not too far from the city of Boston. Good luck with the move! Anything in specific you'd like to know?
