I've only RD> noticed these on 'larger' planes such Airbus, 747-400 and MD-11. They're on smaller aircraft as well. The Canadair Challenger bizjet and its big brother, the Canadair Regional Jet (which makes this article about airliners :) have them, for example. (Side note: ComAir (The Delta Connection) has a HUGE model of the RJ in their gate area at CVG. [We had a long (2 hrs) connection on Delta, I was bored, so after having some chili I walked all the way down the concourse.]) -- Christopher K.
