once again the knowledge in this group amazes me. thanks, scott, that's the kit and the price is very good.

Have you ever noticed that Americans tend to say seven forty seven, whereas other nationalities (eg Australians) say seven four seven when referring to the Jumbo jet?

Just a bit of trivia.

In addition, all the above are usually not in the aviation field. To those that work/crew them its shorten to four-sevens. I.e. I fly three-sevens, I work on seven-sevens, they retired the two-sevens and replaced them with three-sevens, etc, etc.

Yes, thats very true amougst, gate agents, ticket agents, reservationist, travel agents. On their computer screens, aircraft are "usually" 3 letter/number codes. So as where a pilot/mechanic/flight attendant crews/works six-sevens or three-sevens, an agent knows via the computer if your booked on a seven-six-three, 763 (767-300) or a seven-three-eight, 738 (737-800).
