Na don’t reckon so, Dickie Branson owns 20% of the company he’s well able to deal with any of the big boys, seem to remember the C.E.O saying it’s not so much the profit they’ll make on the Stansted route but the traffic it will bring in to use the rest of the Airasia network (pretty extensive) that counts, Eos and Maxjet were one trick ponies compared to Airasia.

Is that Aussie dollars Steve?

Simply stunning, thanks for posting.

Perth, Western Australia is pretty close 🙂

I don’t know whether Guinness has changed at all …we can only get the horrible imported stuff here

And here in the U.K 😀

I don’t mind the heat …but not in the forties that’s just ridiculous …i worry about the elderly pensioners with no air conditioning or who are too afraid to switch it on because they can’t afford it…then there’s the couples with tiny babies who can’t afford air conditioning…it’s easy to get warmer in the Winter than it is to cool down in the heat!!!

Ah well, it’s the weather, you have to live with it, how about all the old folks in the UK that will suffer because they are too afraid to turn on the heating, or injure themselves slipping on icy pavements, the forecast is for heavy snow Monday, I’ll be thinking about your terrible weather while I stuck in a traffic jam in sub zero temperatures and blizzards 😉

What was the cause of the infamous Air France A320 crash, captured on video ploughing into the forest ? Not quite a defective computer, but one that decided it was in charge of the plane…

No computer decided to fly an airliner full of people at 30 feet over an airfield neither pilot had ever visited before, and to do so at a high angle of attack and low speed, when the captain eventually decided it might be an idea to apply some power the engines responded as they should have done and in fact the engine speed was 83% N1 when the aircraft hit the trees, the Airbus flight control system is good, but it won’t stop you flying the aircraft into the ground.

Fabulous pictures mate.
