Let’s just say, there are 7 pages of the name Nguyen (very common Vietnamese name, a la Smith in the English language) in the Greater Sydney area phone book, alone. That’s just the tip of the iceberg, there are tons. There are quite a few in the U.S., as well. Many defected during and after the Vietnam War.

ah now that i didnt know…cheers GD1.

Berlin is a bigger city than Frankfurt, so I wouldn’t be too surprised to see airlines flying there. FRA’s main attraction is that it is a mega hub, and the city itself is the financial centre of Germany.

ya…isint that good enough to take an airline to FRA intead of Berlin?

Saab, operating a two type aircraft fleet is not always expensive, plus if the A318 will not match there needs they will not take it just for the sake it being a part of the Airbus family. The EMB is definately more efficient than the presumed performance on the A318.

Mongu….. u say “its thinner and lighter”…….:confused:

Well….i bet BAe will place constrains on there 20% stake in Airbus before the merger.

ambitious? please expand.

Ah i have been through this long time back…my flight from Delhi-Srinagar(Kashmir) on IC A320. Its not a very pleasent experience. Anyway the aircraft when hit by lightning is just jolted and no serious damage is done. If on the ground and then hit by lightning, it can cause bad damage as the lightning conductors on an a/c send the lightning to the ground through earthing techniques, if a/c on ground is hit by lightning it can be disatraus.
