RE: Renaming JMC

I actually think this is a good move.

Thomas Cook and JMC are the same company, why doesn’t Thomas deal with bookings and JMC just provide the flights?!

Because then you have to advertise two different companies which are like you say, the same.
Thomas Cook is a very well known company in the UK and as soon as people see the aircraft they know who it is. I think the idea behind Britannia and Hapag Lloyd having the same colours is a good one (even though the livery is crap!). Any non aviation fan will not have a clue who Hapag Lloyd is if they see it upon landing at their holiday destination. However if they have the same livery people will probably assume the good reputation of Britannia also applies to Hapag Lloyd.

RE: How will England get on at the World Cup? Plac

Rabie – Ljunberg

We’ll get to the second round but then loose to France (runners up of our group face winners of theirs)!
If we’d have had Gerrard fit, I’d be tipping us to go a long way.

I’ll keep my support up till the end, see my image.

RE: BA jet stuck on Runway

I thought that, 140 on the BA and only 140 on the BWIA which was proabably a Tristar. 400 on the Virgin 744 so they were doing pretty well anyway.

Back to the incident and this is amazing really!

RE: Air 2000 ‘holy’ flight!

It would be strange to look out and see this, although I think “hole in the wing” may be a bit of a press over-reaction.

how would this have affected the aircraft’s performance later on into the flight?

The spoiler is just the part of the wing that comes up to break the air flow and slow the aircraft down. Therefore, if the spoiler being missing isn’t a problem aerodynamically (the aircraft carried on to 8000 ft without knowing anything, so it probably wasn’t) then it won’t cause a problem during the cruise. Some aircraft use the spoiler to slow down during the descent and if this was the case on this flight, the crew would have noticed if one side was slowing and the other wasn’t, but I don’t think it could have caused a fatal accident or anything like that.

Air 2000 763’s aren’t having a very good time at Sanford, I read in the Orlando Sentinel a few weeks ago when I was over there that another AMM 763 had made an emergency landing, can’t remember the problem on that one though.

RE: Camera’s

Is your Pentax an SLR? Why not just get a new zoom lens if so? Otherwise I have a Canon EOS 300 which was around the £200 mark and its quite a good camera. If you want to use it for aviation photography then your going to need a long lens, at least 200-300mm which cost quite a bit. My advice would be to nip down to your local Jessops and have a word with them, they also sell a lot of used stuff. One other word, use them for the advice and get a few makes and models, but if you want to buy a new camera I can give you a few websites that will probably be a lot cheaper.
I bough one recently that was £500 in Jessops, but after searching the web I got it for £372! (£128 difference!)

RE: Best looking aircraft and livery?

Heres the Frontier A319, looks good.

RE: FHM 100 Sexiest Women 2002

Jordan should definately NOT be in there at all.

Jenifer Love Hewitt should be further up, if you’ve seen the film Heartbreakers you’ll understand.

As for Jenifer Aniston, she should also be further up, shes only early 30’s and still looks good.
