    I like the Kiwiz one as well as the Vietnam 350.
    Great job.

    Go around

    I’ve never had a go around. How much of a delay does that cause?

    I had one at CDG back in the years. I was flying back from ATL aboard a DL MD11. A plane was still on the runway and we got a free ride :highly_amused:

    It took as far as I remember 25 mn to land.

    Such a tragic situation.

    Here we have a missing, presumed crashed aircraft with 239 people aboard.

    All the media can think about is defaming the Captain and assassinating the character of the co-pilot. I really wish the media could be held accountable for the utter crap they spout if evidence comes to light that they were wrong.

    To be brutally honest however, a hijack, either by one of the crew or a passenger seems to be the only thing that can account for the loss of communications, the transponder not transmitting (most likely set to Stand by) and the course changes.

    Still, I see no sense in impugning the reputation of anyone on board until more is know, if ever it is.

    On another note. This is the most active thread I have seen here in years.
    Kind of reminds me of the “good” old days, where discussion and threads going 5 to 10 pages deep were the norm!

    200% agreed

    Thanks for the reminder.
    The Lockerbie TWA disaster is still in everyone’s memory but this one is deeply forgotten.

    Aren’t icing issues that put down a BA 777 at LHR a few year’s back?

    Finally, three-engined airliners are long gone as front-line long-haul transports apart from a few KLM MD-11s.

    Yep …. unfortunately

    Am I the only one who thinks the livery is just too little colour for so much fuselage?

    Too much white.
    They’ve over sized the speedmarque to compensate, but the balance just isn’t there.
    The tail colours just don’t stand out enough. The belly is not high enough to make up for the larger fuselage.
    Basically, this livery was clearly never intended for such a large aircraft.

    Other than that though, congrats to BA on the new toy 🙂

    Well I kinda agree. As many of its competitors BA has too much white and an obvious lack of imagination.
    The previous c/s was much better IMHO

    I have never been a big fan of the new BA color scheme but I have to admit that it looks pretty nice on the big bird
