I was actually looking at the ground shot of the ’42 taxying

I think it is just the angle and telescoping compression doing away with the wide sideways clearance visual making it look like they are hanging low and almost touching the wheel.

Several 747-436 are slated for retirement and parting out

This is one that was due to be retained. Some have been parted out already so there are plenty of spares but perhaps they’ll just swap it for one of the ones due to be retired.

It’s not as though they are desperately short of the type although in the short term it might cause a hiccup whilst they organise cover.

It does seem pointless to repair such damage when they are flying perfectly servicable airframes to their doom that possibly only need an overhaul which has caused their turn to come up.

That would be a quick answer too.

Just my thoughts.

They are at times almost daily on that route, sometimes more than one in a day.

There is a slight step in the A.350, not smooth like the 767. Side profile is very different as are the cockpit windows.

The 350 is a little more elegant not blunt and ugly like the 787 which is similar in overall shape to the Comet which was equally ugly.:p

The runways, if angled, would be a sort of slight V shape with the ends further away from each other one end but closer to each other the other end.

Unless of course they wer kinked in the middle

Are you seeing some sort of diagram?…I’m not

It is said that 100% of people at some time in their life will have an attraction to someone of the same sex and would have a relationship with them

Look at the Riga Supermarket incident, more were killed and injured when more of the roof collapsed onto rescuers.

Eventually the whole lot came down.
