Airways also has the annoying habit of refering to aircraft by their generic model number. For example, I want to know the exact model number of an aircraft (e.g. 727-222) instead of just the generic number (727-200). I also want registrations and msn's. The pictures are good in Airways. Most of the columinists are good. They could, however, do away with Druffy's column. His column is worth reading only about 1/3 of the time. He seems like he has a big chip on his shoulder.
