No L-Jet ever made?, Is AA out of their mind???? Options

[deserttoad]

So I'm pretty new to this Porsche stuff, and I'm looking at this page from AA, and it doesn't show any L-jet FI. I've always thought that what I have in my 1975 1.8. So here are a couple of pics, what is this?

And what's up with this page from AA: http://www.autoatlanta.com/model/914catalo...ne-numbers.html

Are they nuts???

Same thing happened in Canada back when the Boeing 767 was brand new. A combination of a bad fuel management package and people using a bad combination of conversion factors (lbs/liter) resulted in the flight of the 'Gimli Glider' that fell out of the sky halfway to its destination. The pilot was an experienced glider pilot and brought the plane down on a closed runway. That runway was in use at the time.

FYI... they jacked up the plane, fixed the nose gear, replaced the slides, refueled it and flew it out of there. It's still in service. It has "Gimili Glider" painted under the pilot's window in big letters. I saw it taxi by in Montreal last December.



The error on it was caused by the switch from imperial gallons to liters. They short filled the plane because the fuel amount was written in imperial gallons, and the pumps had been converted to liters.
