-300s haven't been in production for how long??? Very disappointing AOPA, looks like most media you don't know what good editing is.

@larrybueno You are correct, I've flown an empty plane not many times, but enough to know that indeed it is much harder during approach since you must land slower, the wind might blow you compared to a fuller jet, it becomes a very maneuverable jet that will be very easy to turn, thus making it much difficult to land.

@03Wale hahaha no guy, that's not true, a light jet is a little hard to fly and you have to be very careful on approach and landing, it's like a soap on your hands!

@larrybueno An airplane empty is actually lighter and easier to fly

@larrybueno Its what Airplane manufacturers do when they deliver a plane.

@wowdude999 Yeah, i know the SWA hubs, but it's interesting to know why the airplane goes fuel tanks full, i guess it's due to it's empty, an airplane empty is hard to fly and the approach speed is too low.

@larrybueno Yeah, thats where most planes go to for delieries, if not, its KDAL, which like a extra 30 minutes to the flight.
