with our nimrods being scrapped, the 737 will soon be the plane on the longest production run.
i am guessing there will be replies saying nimrods are modified comets dating back to the 1950s?

But there wasn’t continuous production of Comets and Nimrods. The Comet was produced between 1951 and 1964. The first Nimrod, a converted Comet 4C, flew in 1967.

The B737 series has been in continuous production since 1967 and is still in production today. A truly classic design.

Boeing 737-1000 “Star Trek” 😉

“DS9”, surely? 😀

Like it or not, that’s what they’re called 😎

I know that’s what they’re called. Doesn’t mean that it makes sense, though.

What will they call the next lot of B737 variants now they’ve painted themselves into a corner?

The ‘Generation After Next’? :p

What, just because what he says dosen’t fit in with your way of seeing things, or you just don’t like a bit of straight talking.

From where I sit, that could apply equally to a number of regulars on threads like this.

Calm down, chaps. Keep it civil, eh?

Thanks

They’ll be doing the old rain dance around the SCG tonight, that’s for sure.

To recap what has been posted elsewhere on this issue.

It is not acceptable to post copyright material – including photographs – in these forums unless you are the copyright owner or have the specific permission of the copyright owner to do so.

As well as being a breach of item 4 of this site’s Code of Conduct, posting copyright material without permission places this site in potential breach of UK law.

If you wish to draw the attention of other members to an article hosted elsewhere, a link and short summary is acceptable. As quadbike indicates, many of you were already doing this anyway.

And that’s really all there is to it.

We don’t like it any more than most of you do, but we are where we are.

I’ll ask the Webmaster to post an update when there is further news.

Looks as though he is fishing for a position with our Forum sponsors or another famous aviation periodical. 🙂

You think so? Wow, that’s a pretty cunning approach. Ahem.

There are some or oganization such as Startfor, JDW etc. Can somebody tell me what job i can look for with these kind of organization with the knowledge that I have about military Aviation.

Look, why not approach the organisations you mention directly instead of relying on second or third-hand information from strangers on the Internet?

It would demonstrate initiative on your part, which is always a good thing.
