OK, so ALL manufacturers don’t do PR/publicity shots, but as has already been pointed out in a previous post, the shot was taken in 2008 during trials work, so its academic really anyway…

As long as I am going to see this kind of useless and silly load just to show big things under the wings :

I mean , what ‘s the range with such load , drag and no fuel ?

Its a PR/Publicity shot, can’t you see that? ALL manufacturers/air forces do it! No air force on earth would actually load up aircraft like this operationally and expect to get much further than the airfield boundary!

Opinions?

Crap…

Looking forward to seeing the 787 at EMA next May though…

Hopefully another airline will pick up the slots but oh by all the gods don’t let it be Ryanair!!!!:(:(:(:(

You might be in luck, apparently FlyBe are going to be expanding at EMA by picking up some of routes flown by BMIBaby, from June i think…

Ouch!!!!!! That looked very painful! Nice ar$e on the woman running to her aid though… :diablo:
But seriously though, I can just imagine her boyfriend had said, “come on, it’ll be a right laugh…”

I am surprised to hear that they are still flying F-21 Kfir in Agressor service.:confused:

They’re not flown by the US Navy, they’re operated by a civilian company – http://www.atacusa.com/index.html

Indeed it was, however, it was retired from Air Lanka in 1988 according to airlinerlist and airfleets have it as active with BA then, to be honest its all a bit confusing. Most of the sources i’ve checked appear to have mildly conflicting dates as to when BA last had TriStars, the 7/99 date is when airfleets show G-BLUS as last active with BA, my head is now spinning…

“…the incoming contingent will patrol the airspace with six single-seated F-4 Phantom fighters.”
