Here are some of my shots, more at my site:

Note the blow up doll in the last window.

The best performance of the day, easily beating the Blue Angels.

I hate to say this, but personally I though Fat Albert put on a more impressive display then the Blue Angels themselves!

I was very surprised that during the Blue Angels display a lot of passes where done over the public. Is this not banned in Europe? In fact, earlier that day a Spanish F18 had been given the red card, and according to the announcer would be punished by having to eat at the mess.

Well it was kinda expected, and I think they will be the better of the them all, especially as SOU is their largest hub, and also if they operate one of their new E195 on the route, when they come into service.

Not only expected, but already announced as well including on this board by yours truly. FlyBE will not use the E195 though, instead a DHC-8 (version anyone?) will be used. Perhaps in the future this can be upgraded, but that I do not know. Let’s first see if the route will catch on before we start discussing upgrades.

My bet, if this route becomes (very) succesful for any of the airlines then it will not be long before KLM barges in. If the other airline is lucky KLM will set up a codeshare with the most popular airline. If the other airlines are unlucky KLM will use its own metal and will have no difficulty kicking the competition.

My bet is that Scott Airways will remain on top, for as long as KLM continues feeding it. If KLM decides to go for FlyBE or own metal, end of story. BMI is not a real contender really since they announced their flight to be winter schedule only.

Of course you can buy shares in them. Just as well as how europeans can buy shares in Boeing and the likes.

Personally, I would expect it to be a rather good move. Airbus has a habit of postponing revealing new orders until they can get a lot of publicity from it. That is why usually Le Bourget and Farnborough see a lot of orders. Recently Airbus has had feworders, so chances are they have been stockpiling a few nice ones for Farnborough next month.

The new orders will increase the price of EADS, sell fast cause after that you can expect another long slow period where prices gradually decline.

disclaimer: In no way do i accept responsibility for you loosing your lifes savings or part thereof. If however you do gain money from my dribble, I expect it to be shared 50/50.

Why am i on thin ice?

To put it straight to the point, a few of your posts could be considered flamebait. This one being one of them.

Do not forget the Smithsonian museum at Dulles! One of the largest aviation museums in the world.

Hmmm…. Maybe it was parked upside down? 😀

Well, VLM is Belgian so I would not be surprised actually. 😉

Thanks for the comments, chaps. 🙂

By the way, Peter….. OO-VLL was present at MAN this morning.

Can you guess what colour it is? :diablo:

Should be the new one… right? No…? Pretty please?
