A 757 is always a pleasure to see

This Il-76 is one of four plane of “Weihnachts Kalender 2004”. Have you bought all four planes?

No unfortunately it was the only one left, as hte shop is closing.

What about surplus A-7Es? The United States sold some recently to Thailand’s Navy,and while these aren’t deployed on a carrier,they would make a good replacement for the A-4s,as thats what the US Navy replaced its A-4s with.As a 2nd option I’d go with the Naval AMX,sounds like a good idea to me,probbley make a decent little attack bird and who knows,maybe Brazil could talk Italy into producing some on their AMX line to replace or complament their AV-8B Harrier IIs.If they did this,it would off set some of the costs of just one country producing a special version.

A-7s ?? I doubt refurbishing the few remianing examples would be an expensive adventure.

The obvious solution would be used F/A-18s.

No surprise. 4U were eyeing SXF as a possible base. Seems like Easy Jet wants to prevent this by increasing traffic from SXF.

Good for GLA.

But what is special about it ? DUS will have a 777-300 from August on. And 2 777 from early 2006. Seems like EK are increasing services to many airports in europe. Especially to those that offer a lot of pax, but have been forgotten by the local home carriers lke LH or BA.

This is only pahse 3 of the extension plan, which at the moment is far form certain to happen. And if it does I could imagine that they would built an artifical beach on the end of the extended runway.

Well why walking through the city during my lunch break, I noticed that one of the local toy stores has gone out of business and was selling there remaining stock with a 20% discount on everything. Knowing that they sold Herpa modells I went in – and came it with a nice Douglas collection.
