    It’s amazing how many people who have never flown an Airbus offer opinions as if they have!

    It’s amazing how many people who’ve never flown a thing and offer opinions like they have. 😀

    Excellent. Eat that GLA fans

    The amount of EDI versus GLA threads these days is nothing short of embarrasing 😡

    in this case bald, beer-drinking fourty-year old men (much like Francis himself), me being the exception 😎

    Less of the bald and forty years old if you don’t mind. 😀

    Ah…. The Pixies in happier, hairier times…

    With the Russian Orthodox Church’s blessing a VOLGA-DNEPR Group
    new air plane AN-124 Ruslan 0803(RA 82081) took off on a flight
    on May 22 Saturday. There was an orthodox act of
    consecration to Ruslan by father Sergei from a Simbirsk eparchy.
    The ceremony took place at Ulianovsk-Vostochny airport where
    about 200 people gathered – pilots, flight engineers, and office
    workers of the air company. Many workers came with their
    families, children. On Monday May 24 the consecrated plane flew
    to Moscow to participate in the presentation at Domodedovo
    airport.

    Makes a change from the days when Aeroflot passengers would board a flight whilst saying their prayers. 😮

    turbines ?

    Power recovery turbines, 12 of ’em on the Super Connie. At least that’s what the crew told me at Prestwick when I was on board.

    And presumably he’ll still be smiling whilst making staff redundant as a result of any major profits slip ?

    Id rather see more Airbus in their fleet like A330 or A340. Strange they are even looking at Boeing given their previous stance of converting to all Airbus…

    Probably because Boeing are trying to woo them with attractive deals like buy one get one free on the 777.

    Nice photos, whats going on with the fire, did anybody notice?

    It’s not on fire daftie. 😀

    That’s the effect of full throttle on the turbines.

    Would its attractiveness have anything to do with the photograph on the front? Taken by a certain forum member if I am not mistaken 😉

    Of course not. 😀

    It’s fairly straightforward with step by step tutorials, not quite aimed at entry level photoshoppers but still easy enough to understand.

    I don’t know about a fuselage slogan but if they do indeed go for twins then I think the first one should named “Humble Pie” and the fuselage lady should have some red paint applied to her cheeks (lol).

    You really are a serial model buyer! I think you should go to ‘Models annonymous’ 🙂

    Just done some more serious visa card bashing, this time at http://www.thresholdaviation.com. my god the Canadian Dollar exchange rate is so good just now !

    Ordered an Eva Air 744, a Corsair “Sun” 742 and a Qantas 744 all brand new for the equivalent of £40 including international air mail ! 😮

    Looking forward to an Air Holland 767 from Taiwan as well now !
