So because the A330 is there and there are lots of 757/767’s, those 2 reasons in themselves justify shelving the 7E7? In that case, Boeing should just shelve every potential project, as Airbus might already have a player in that market, or there might be substantial examples already out there. Continued development on the 757 (-300) and the 767 (-400) obviously didn’t work. By that token, the logical move is to start fresh and come out with a more modern model that incorporates, among other things, fly-by-wire. The one area where I agree, Michael, is re-developing the 747. Stretching the fuselage and upper deck, new wing, incorporating fly-by-wire, new engines, etc.

Why continue producing an aircraft that’s rolling off the line at less than one example per month? By canceling the 7E7 project, is that going to convince new and existing customers to buy more 757’s? I think not! Boeing should continue with the 7E7 project (even though I think it looks hideous), and develop a replacement or further develop the 747. That’s it.

Corfu is definitely next on my agenda, after SXM, of course.

I had no idea you could rate posts. What happened to rating members?

Nice Steve. I have some TWA timetables from the 70’s, but with my recent move, I seem to have lost them. 🙁

Elias, I too was online while they were busy hacking away. I noticed that you and Steve were also online and I attempted to send you an email, asking if I was the only one that had the swastikas all over his screen. Apparantly not. It went from swastikas, to bloody swastikas to them changing the names of the different forums. At first I thought I had received a virus, or something, as all the comments and names of the forums were pretty much anti-american. That was Sunday evening (Pacific Standard time), but when I went back in there Monday morning, all that was gone, and only the message from the webmaster saying the database had been hacked into. I echo everybody’s sentiments about how good it is to be back into the forum again. I didn’t realize how many hours I actually spend in this thing!

Man… its impossible to pin-point an exact airline from that pic.

Cyprioteagle… yes Air Canada do fly the A340 into LHR. Well they were doing last time I was there… bout 2-3years ago…

I concurr on both fronts. In fact, I saw an AC A340 in LHR just 2-3 days (not years) ago. I agree that it also has to be either AC or AF, and not OA or LH.

Kabir, the first statement means that if I were an airline, I would not want to use the registration number of a former aircraft that had crashed. The 2nd statement relates that to airline flight numbers that no longer get used, when those particular flights wind up crashing.
