Origins of the name "Halaby"

Will a Wikipedian of Syrian origin please tell us if Mr. Halaby's family name ((Arabic: نجيب إلياس حلبي‎) was ) is associated with the Arabic name for the city of Aleppo, Syria (Arabic: حلب‎ ['ħalab])

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.79.155.202 (talk) 07:15, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm surprised no one has answered this yet, but yes, of course! Halaby translates to "Aleppian"; a person from Aleppo, Syria. George Al-Shami (talk) 21:50, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So what did he fly? And did he fly at all?

If Halaby indeed made the first transcontinental jet flight in 1945, what did he fly? A P-59? A P-80? Of course the question is moot, since Halaby made no such flight. The first transcontinental jet flight was made by USAAF Col. William Councill, in a Lockheed P-80 in January 1946.173.62.11.254 (talk) 22:09, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
