873 pax in 80 sec.!
New world record!!!
One man over 50 broke his leg, is now in the hospital, will be visited be Airbus CEO Humbert this afternoon.
32 people has minor injuries.

As the Germans say to wish good luck – “Hals und Beinbruch” -in this particular case just a “Beinbruch ” but I am sure the victim will get some decent compensation from Airbus !

😉 😀

March 23, 2006—The U.S. Department of Defense has selected Northrop Grumman to design the first-ever supersonic flying wing aircraft, one that can vary the sweep of its wing for the most efficient flight performance.

I wish, The Webmaster will answer all our questions on Monday, when he will be back at work. Even a Webmaster deserves a weekend without monitoring this forum; I presume, he has also a family, friends, kids, hobbies and 1000 much more important reasons.

I wonder, if the mods have ever met him personally (not via Internet)?
Just answer my last question with yes or no, do not post his C.V. here!

MIASCB, some members like to discuss the larger picture.
A famous example would be aircraft carriers (CATABAR versus STOVL).
Two years ago, Navy threads and Army threads were filling up the Modern Military Aviation Forum, so the Webmaster and the Mods decided for 3 subforums!

Can’t we at least have a separate Helicopter forum ?

Great idea, had the same idea before, but I did not suggest to the mods or to the Webmaster , because I do not want to become a Mod. As a normal member I have the right to ignore!
The next question would be, if this forum should be for civil or for military helicopters? I suggest for both, placed between Modern Military Aviation Forum and Commercial Aviation!

Russian Navy, Chinese Navy, F-14 versus Leo2A6….. just joking!!!

From my now closed thread:

Dear Webmaster, dear mods,

you could have told us your decision a week before closing the threads down.
I have a few questions, how it came to your decision:

Why did you close down the two forums?
Did you have no mods anymore for the two forums?
Did some members flame too much?
Did the forums take up too much space on the servers?
If someone posts info or pic’s about army or navy issues, will their posts be delated, moved to GD (because “For non-aviation topics”) or will the fill up the military forum (like for two years ago) ?

I know, this is “Key Publishing Ltd Aviation Forums”, but sometimes some members like to discuss the larger picture!

I will try to respect your decision, but please answer my questions! 🙂

If this thread is too sensitive, please inform me via PM and then delate this thread!

Thanks in advance!

I was too slow, I started a thread at GD, maybe the mods could the combine them.
Army and Navy forums closed
Edit: This thread at GD was closed by the Webmaster, but see post #20 here in this thread.
