i thought the ‘400 was sold? They only ever had 2, one of them was crashed and the other sold to …?

groovy!

They went to BMI Baby, as did the ‘300s.

There we go again. Why can’t they just leave it the way it is? EADS gets direct money from the European governments according to the rules set in 1992. Boeing gets indirect money from NASA, DoD and a few other research projects.

I do find it quite original for the US to unilaterraly void a treaty regulating subsidies (a treaty that the EU did not cross), and then saying Airbus gets too much subsidy!

If you want to go to DUS, then go on the 17th October.

It’s marked in the agenda! As long as I have no urgent things popping up and the weather is reasonable I will be there!

Personally I am not too impressed with CGN. It has an open air terrace with high often dirty windows.

Movements can be slow. It has Germanwings, Hapag Lloyd Express and not much else really. BA, AF, KLM, LH all have a handfull of flights. Freight wise this airport has loads of flights, in particular UPS and DHL. Problem is that most of those are during the evening/night when it is too dark.

If you got a full day I’d suggest taking the train to DUS and go spotting there.

Also, why did the Tu-154 land on 23L? Isn’t it normally take-offs from 23L and landings on 23R?
