Had no idea how big they were until this one visited! 🙂

All aircraft look big until you’ve been around them for a bit. 😀

There are two ways to reduce emissions, A) produce more efficient designs, or B) reduce the number of people flying, and consequently flights flown.

Creating a fake carbon trading market will do neither.

Very nice, I think I like the bmi Regional the most.

[Anorak-Mode] – I don’t think G-OOAR is a -212, it has newer-style cowlings. 😮

My favourite of the business jets, I love the first piccy.

Still, very orange. A nice change from the usual easyJet.

It is actually pretty clever.

I think it was Bmused55 who explained it to me. If you think about standing on a beach on holiday looking out to the horizon. The belly is white to represent the sand of the beach, the upper fuselage a dark blue to represent the water and the lighter blue of the tail is to represent the sky.

I think with the navy blue they are adding now is to represent deeper water.

I could have made all that up. :rolleyes:

I think you have answered yourself. The cargo division of Cathay Pacific is obviously important to them, and thus they have a need for cargo capacity on passenger flights.

I am not entirely sure Hainan Airlines has a business case for the A380 either, but the cargo market doesn’t make up the proportion of the business that it does for Cathay Pacific.

Nothing like a bit of forum trolling on a Monday afternoon. 😀
