Easyjet, now featuring water cooled jets!

Nice shots, thanks for sharing them, my fav is the Malaysian 744, stunner

Ah i see. I hope they keep the 747s on not only do they have the best names there all pretty young aircraft they can show airbus hows to fly in style instead of some whale of an A380! :dev2:

Talking of style, have you see the 747 LCF monster that arrived at PIk earlier in the week, makes the Beluga from Airbus look ultrastylish! And the A380 graceful.

Lets all remember that this B787 has loads of new technology including a carbon composite fuselage, untried technology in such a large scale. Anything could still go wrong.

Im sure some airline have placed orders just hoping for long delays and compensation to boot. This could still happen. What if a problem occurs with the 747LCF, it could quite easily!

Food for thought.

Having flown with Flybe many times on different routes I have never had a major problem, one delay of 1 hour but arrived only 20 minutes behind schedule, that was from BHX on a Monday 7am flight, for this flight it is impossible for all flights to leave on time as there are about 12 flights departing between 06.45 and 07.00 with a min of 3 minutes between departs, this I would not blame on the airline but poor management and planning at BHX.

Hello,

Great shots, thanks for shairng them.

Having only ever been to BHX once, how do I get to this vantage point?

Directions would be appreciated.

Thank You

At this rate PIA won’t have any planes left…:rolleyes:

KARACHI: A cargo van hit an Islamabad-bound PIA plane at Karachi airport on Tuesday, damaging the plane’s engine and injuring the van’s driver, Geo TV reported.

According to the channel, the van slipped and hit the lower part of the plane while loading the passengers’ luggage onto it. The van driver was reportedly injured in the collision. Passengers had not yet begun to board the Airbus A310 jet, Associated Press reports. The plane’s body and one engine, however, were damaged and delayed the flight by two hours while repairs were undertaken, according to APP.

The accident marks the third involving PIA aircraft at the Karachi airport in two weeks. Earlier this month, the tail of a PIA Boeing 777 clipped the wing of another jet as it taxied. No one was hurt. Then, last week, the nose of an A310 Airbus hit the ground during an emergency landing when six of its tires burst. No one on board the jet was injured. agencies

Well at least the Airbus cant fly to europe anyway!
