I think you’ll find it was stolen from Luanda, Angola where it had been impounded. Aircraft has turned up again, repainted etc…. Africa what a wonderful place 😀 😀

No flame directed at yourself re. the 321 comments, that was another poster on the thread.

However, you can’t compare apples and pears, the 737NG i have no experience of, different wing. Landing speeds we are only talking about a few knots either way, and as they are different aircraft with different inertia/momentum, the comparison is somewhat daft.

The 737-300 autobrake system is better in my own experience than the Airbus FBW, many more selections, low,2,3 and Max. Airbus FBW just having Low and MED, MAX is only for RTO’s. This is why the 340-500/600 have been updated with more selections.
True the 737-300 do have old fashioned brakes, but they are good, Airbus FBW having carbon brakes.

I rarely post on PPrune so don’t know what your on about. However, some there is some class uninformed comment sometimes on threads, this one having some gems.

Operators, Breitling in this case can apply for exemptions, and have done for 4 seasons, but had pressure put on them to register it in the UK.

However, the local powers(DUX area) at the CAA have become obstructive with paperwork issues, and i believe the P40 will head back to NZ, which it was anyhow at the end of the season.

Bizarrely enough i was talking to the pilot of the Spirit about an hour before, he was recounting to story on a minor prang in it last year, how prophetic.

Nice guy, bloody tragedy.

re. the Sea Vixen, i thought the Streamer was all part of the show 😀 that Red Bull put on, when the second bit fell off, i thought otherwise.
