RE: Today’s Useless Fact
I think that’s useless even for everyt pub quiz!! Keep it coming though… it’s interesting!!!
RE: YAF Hellcat
That is, in my opinion the best sharkmouth ever!!
RE: 180° reclining seat for every passenger?
Right, the way I picture this is we have 3 tiers of seats in economy class, yes? That’s going to be an absolute nightmare to evacuate the people. The passengers have to worry about getting out of the seat, down tiers of steps, then run to the exit, all in the same time as having to get up and get off, which you do nowadays. What if someone gets stuck on the top tier?? They’re effectively dead, because it’d take too long to have a go at rescuing them!
Oh, another point I thought of, these exotic materials you spoke of, to make the seating lighter than it is now tend to cost a lot. Airlines want to keep their costs down… so i don’t see why they’d buy it!
Interesting concept though… I would like to travel this way… but, I don’t see it happening!!

RE: 180° reclining seat for every passenger?
N’ah, I can’t see this happening to be honest. It’s an interesting concept, yes, but if the aircraft crashed, you’re going to have panicking passengers falling down those stairs all over the place, trying to get off the aircraft.
RE: The future of civil aviation
I thought it was a converted B-36 they used for nuclear trials.
RE: Heathrow should close!
I fully agree with you there!!! Heathrow does bring hell of a lot of wealth to the area. It provides so many jobs! I honestly can’t see there being that many complaints about the noise around the airport. Sure there will be some, and like you say, most of those will be relatively new to the area. I’m also with you on the aircraft noise issue, it certainly has gone down, and will continue to. To be honest, I can see the traffic into Heathrow reducing once airlines start using larger aircraft like the A380. Whether it’ll happen like that… I don’t know.
RE: QANTAS 747
I think that’s the best of the Dream schemes too!! I’ve only ever seen one aircraft in a special scheme, and that was a South African 747 at Heathrow, in 2000. Pics anyone??
RE: My workplace FRI/SAT
Can I come??? 🙂
RE: Abuse in the cabin
“The air has improved??” LOL!!!
Well, when the aircraft manufacturers decided they could get away with recycling 50% of the air, I guess smoking on flights had to go.
RE: A Career in Aviation?
Ben – Just a quick word on this Aeronautical Engineering thing, the first 2 years kinda suck! I’ve only done 1 aircraft related module per semester, the rest is bog standard maths and physics, which is boring as hell… but necessary for the aircraft stuff which comes later.
I’m having fun here anyway! You do get some great aircraft related courseworks though!!!
RE: BREAKING NEWS!!! – New Lo-Cost airline!!!
Yeah, cheers for that! Are you doing work experience for the airport??
RE: New Pic
And a Hornet… Very nice!!!!
RE: SA 80 with grenade launcher?
I thought BAe systems owned HK, but then again, is RO part of BAe also?? I don’t know… I’m having a bad day!!
