Flight of the Intruder, based on the novel of the same name, wasn’t too bad. as well, Black Hawk Down had a few good scenes with actual aircraft from the famed 160th SOAR.

It seems Boeing and Air France share a great business partnership. Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the French airline launch the -300ER variant as well. If that’s the case, this would be the second time Air France becomes the launch customer for a T7 variant.

My first flight was during the summer of 1980, I was seven years old. Aircraft type was Air Inter A300 flying from Paris Orly to Marseille. I just remember being in complete awe as I never thought that something that big could get off the ground. I’ve been hooked eversince.

I travelled through CDG 2E just a couple months before the tragedy. Made me wonder a few times since what if! When are the renovations scheduled to be completed, I am due to travel through CDG on my way to Nice sometime in November?

So you are suggesting that all western stable democracies should get rid of their nukes before unpredictable dictators like North Korea which threatens to use their nuke from now and then?

You don’t think that these dictators might use this advantage in a rather unpeaceful way?

What I meant to say was that, once these unpredictable dictators are disarmed, those who have had these weapons for a long time should get rid of their weapons then. Otherwise, as I said, these people would be seen as hyprocrits or bullies.
I believe that everyone could benefit from a complete ban on nuclear weapons but in all reality, I am sure that such a world will never exist as there will always be someone outthere willing to do what it takes to gain the upper hand, including gaining access to a nuclear weapon.
I apologize for the misunderstanding.

The 747, a timeless classic! No matter the variant!

I remember speaking to an American fighter pilot who had been one of the lucky few who had flown both aircraft during the ATF fly-off in 1990. I tried desperately to get feedback from him on what he thought of the aircraft. The only thing he did say to me was that he thought the YF-23 was a better machine than the YF-22. This conversation happened a couple of months after the decision was made to proceed with the YF-22 in 1991.

That DC-10 looks brilliant!
