RE: Qantas SYD – LAX Excitement. Recommended!!!!

Yeah thats what I heard abut the AA A300 crash in New York,this is what that turbulance was caused by.
As the wings of the aircraft pass through the air,lift occurs when the high pressure under the wing tries to fill a vacuum of the low pressure on top of the wing. As a product of this lift, some air will circulate causing a rolling effect to take place behind the wingtips. What happens is two vortices (the left wing clockwise and the right wing counterclockwise as viewed from behind the airliner looking forward) develop and continue to spin until their energies are reduced. Most of the energy is within a few feet of the center of each vortex but pilots are should avoid a region within 100 feet of the vortex core. Airliners which are heavy give off the most intense vortices.If you ever wondered why sometimes it takes such a long time for an aircrft to take off it may be because of this wake turbulance effect.

RE: New Issue – Out Yesterday 08/04/2002

I got mine today,the articles on Manston and Marseilles were very interesting.It was good to here about a french airport as I live so close to them (Rennes,Nantes ect) yet I am totaly baffled at what airlines operate in to them so this article on Marseilles was very interesting in my opinion.
One bad point is that (I am not)the A300/310 cockpit looks like an A320s to me?Am I right?

RE: Air 2000

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 10-04-02 AT 08:18 AM (GMT)]Air 2000 aircraft will be repainted over the coming months,under the “First Choice” brand. It will retain the name of Air 2000 but they will adopt the colours from the First Choice Logo, with a pale blue tail with a bright pink flower on the tail. Interiors, product, uniform and tickets will follow.
Personally I can’t see the point of changing the liveries the one they have now looks good and modern though maybe they don’t want to be left out of the new charter airline craze-changing your colours scheme to something even worse than you had before!
