Please someone get the joke!

mother of… 😮 !

My deepest sympathies to all affected by this horrendous audio assault and misuse of air time. Yet more proof that all the UK’s musical talent was used up by the Fab Four… (or maybe it was A Flock of Seagulls) 😉

I hope British Airways hasn’t paid them for the new theme song. You can see someone in a pathetic PR dept. somewhere is hoping for a big cheque from BA. Thats even worse than when Celine Dion was spokes-singer for Air Canada.

I haven’t seen ‘flight attendants’ that camp since my Melbourne/Alice Qantas flight…

Tom,

Here’s one (N620NA) thats at least in/near your time zome. I shot this one in 1996 (sorry – a bit soft) at Santa Teresa, New Mexico… (opposite end of the apron from the War Eagles Museum). As far as I know she’s still there – recent pics I’ve seen of her she’s looking considerably more weathered.

Some data and ownership info here…

ELP, thanks for the link!!

An extremely refreshing and informative documentary. I think this should be mandatory viewing for just about everyone. The science (and history and politics) is right there for everyone to see – complete with easy to understand graphics!

I’ve never been convinced by the great Carbon-haters and what this documentary lays out is proof in itself that the ‘movement’ is wrong.

The ‘environmental’ movement has been hi-jacked and we’re all being taken for a long difficult ride on this one my friends. Copy the link and send it to everyone you know.

Definitely Air Zaire (the winged cat’s front legs point forward as opposed to Air India’s bent back – and Air India never operated the F27)

Try these out.. Air Zaire

Fokker 27-600

9Q-CLM 09/01/75 Boende, Zaire
9Q-CLO 03/03/74 Gago Cautino, Angola
9Q-CLP 08/02/80 Kinshasa/Ndjili, Zaire
9Q-CLR 06/01/78 Kisangani, Zaire

I’m leaning toward the 1974 crash, as this aircraft does not carry the ‘cat’ in a circle with green rudder which seems to be Air Zaire’s livery from around 1975 onward… and I just saw Mpacha’s post regarding location.

Speaking of ‘climate change’ did anyone see the program on the BBC (Channel 4) this week… ‘The Great Climate Change Swindle’ (or something like that) wondering if and when its being aired on this side of the ‘pond’. (I only get BBC World, not BBC America or BBC Canada which may very well have shown it.)

I think we’re all getting taken for a ride on this one. All this poo-poo about CO2 emissions … yadda yadda yadda… If there were no CO2 emissions, we wouldn’t be here! If governments want to really do something about it all, then start holding onto the money they spend in so-called ‘developing economies’ (China) until they can clean up their own acts. Give us some tax incentives to but hybrid vehicles and mandate that the manufacturers have to produce more of them.

Oh well… politicians will do what gets them votes and the rest of us will pay the bill for whatever else they want us to do.
