Interestingly, this wasn’t the view at the last ICAO meeting I attended where somebody from their regulation department came along and expressed the view that the question of airline share ownership was a real problem on bilateral agreements where named airlines are still specified.

As I said above it is less of a problem with Open Skies agreements and within the EU, but there are still a large number of bilateral agreements around.

An interesting scenario is what would happen to BA’s flag carrier status if they did go bust (or even worse if more than 50% of their shares were owned by people/organisations overseas). OK, bilateral agreements are less important than they were but the idea of an airline being a country’s flag carrier still carries kudos.

IATA says that first and business class travel within Europe declined by 17.1%?

As someone who used to produce these figures in IATA I have a few questions…

Who still flies first class in Europe?

What is the size of the sample of carriers they have used to produce these figures?

More to the point, which carriers have they included and which are excluded?

It would also be interesting (from my point of view at least) to know which data collection they used for these figures.

These are the people that had an-Czech Mil-24 delivered last year – there was a thread about it here. I wonder how many of these aircraft/helicopters will actually make it over here.

It’s actually an emergency relief aircraft dropping stepladders to photographers outside airfield fences wherever needed…

Remember that a lot of F3 fuselages have gone from St Athan in the last year straight to scrapyards. The Tornado is very firmly in the historic area now.

And I think one or two feature in museum(s) in other parts of the world. Belgrade for example.

Minor point, it’s not a Sabreliner (it appears to have a fin mounted tail plane which Sabreliners don’t have). I have seen photos of a Gulfstream N105TB flying around the area so might be that.

I presume that you are thinking here of external noise? I know that similar work has been done internally for various prop driven airliners to cut down cabin noise and very effective it is too.

And while there are various NATO countries flying MiG-29s to provide spares and support, remember that the US operated a range of ex Soviet aircraft in times when there weren’t so many friendly countries flying them and willing to give help.

I really don’t see why people have a problem with this concept.

Maybe you and Martinez can find a guy on the internet called Venik? You’d all get along well with him!

Venik, oh no. Please no…

Possibly Air Salvage International at Alton, they seem to be the main contractor used to scrap aircraft in Southern Britain.
