RE: I am back from Argentina. Some pics

Dont you just love trying to find pics of exact a/c you were on at the time the photo was taken – or am i just getting really sad!!!

RE: Concorde Capabilities?

hmmm – wtf is happening in this forum!!! – Kab – just wandering if u say it’s too big to do a barrel roll like an F16 – wouldn’t a scaled up F-16 for example with an identically scalled up thrut ratio be able to do it? – bar the construction materials which at somepoint would snap under the strain

RE: newbie

Eh up Kane! – we’ll have to get some MSN details as you and i could have quite an iteresting convo. I’m from Yorkshire (Bronte Country if u wanna sound posh, about 10 miles from Bradford if u wanna drag me down!!), but i’m often visiting, and have just come bak today from Ipswich – down the road. I’m only 17 but still remember the days of RAF Bentwaters, Honington, Woodbridge, Alconbury as a kid, a still visit Lakenheath and Mildenhall now and again along with Wattisham and its helos.

Further up u’re way on visits i’ve passed Norwich – used to b real dead!! and North Denes which i used to like as we got so close up to the a/c!

RE: Hapag Lloyd Express Expansion

That’ll be nice to get one of those famed Taxis at Manchy :D:D

RE: Air Marshalls on U.K Flights

Locked doors – hmmm one thing that needs to be pointed out – what is the number of emergencies in the cockpit (first aid to flight crew) vs attempted take overs? – just a point – i know that they can be unlocked etc but with a high workload and any other probs is this something that could be taken into consideration?

RE: Something for Sunday

damn – i was gonna try another excuse! 🙁

RE: Flightdeck security

again soz to keep harping on but at Air Atlanta i know the ops guys used to go up approx once a month on flights basically to keep the aircrafts “on board library” commonly known as Jeppeson logs updated. On a busy aircraft operating constantly with a small company i hear this is a common procedure as the aircraft are not allowed to go airbourne without them.

For those who don’t know Jepesson logs are like a dictionary of airfield charts, the CC B747s have every licensed airfield in the world onbourd – yes including the little 500m grass strips in outer mongolia! – due to the fact the aircraft can end up anywhere! – i presume the smaller aircarft such as the RJs and Turboprops just have the european sections onbourd as they are unlikely to end up outside of europe and they just update the logs if the aircraft are chartered out??
