    I snapped this FlyBe 146-300 at Glasgow yesterday, Unusual to see one in AF colours up here. Isn’t it looking a wee bit dirty

    That’s a great shot. Don’t Northwest have some of, or even officially the oldest DC-9 still operating ?

    I’m still of the opinion Concorde went too soon.

    What I’d like to know and would ask your opinions on, is that if Concorde had sold to all the operators that signed up and then pulled out, and if it made a profit and subsequently funded future SST development, where would we be now in terms of high speed airliner travel?

    Will there ever be another SST, is the sonic boom insurmountable ?

    What I’m getting at I suppose, is does being more exposed to the light make it more of a danger. You chaps don’t have the option of pulling down the blinds I’d imagine.

    Are there any safeguards built into the glass, even if it’s extra ultra violet protection ?

    Does being at the sharp end make you more susceptible to solar radiation ? I’m assuming it’s more transmittable optically ?

    Yes, but what’s happened to the rest of Softlad’s thread ? A funny thing today also, I replied to a topic and it appeared as a quote of my own words ?

    Mibbe Webbie is taking down the shelfs already for the house moving ? 😀

    I’ve flown on a several 146’s, mainly 200’s. Yes it’s a little tiny inside, but we’re not talking long haul flights here. It’s a unique aircraft and therefore offers a unique flying experience. My advice Cheesebag is to sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds.

    I know most of the flyers here give the 146 family a bit of a slagging, but from a passengers point of view it makes a change from the usual boring perfection of the major planes.

    Have fun !

    I thought it was the Italian company that bought Lauda Air ?

    Could you elaborate on that a little Skycruiser, it’s not something you here an awful lot about.

    True, but they’re taking the mick out of the Iraqi information minister. You have to admit the guy was hilarious at the time.

    There’s probably a bit more to this than meets the eye, but fundamentally he should have been allowed to travel as he wasn’t doing anything illegal. The weed was medicine in this case. Would Delta have stopped any other form of medication being taken aboard ? Was the guy intending to have a puff onboard though ? If so then he should be treated like any other smoker. Perhaps he ought have baked some hash cookies of coffee ?

    Now I’m thinking of that Foo Fighters video suddenly ? 😀
