Nice, im just wondering when they are going to introduce a BNE-LAX direct route? It has sufficient demand, i dont know why they going via AKL!!!

YEs ur right the tail does seem different, so where abouts are the 7E7 parts being transported from???

I think its stupid of BAA to close the viewing areas, and ask people not to go to the airport, for GOD sake it is the last day that the Concorde will be flying commercially, and they wont support as one of three main airports this beauty flies from!!!

I would love to see the 345 fly with AC, it could have been used on routes like YYZ-HKG, YVR-SYD, YYZ-NRT, YYZ- Korea? It could have been also used on the India route an it would alow more cargo with its increased MTOW. Although i think there is an 85% cap on the number of passengers because of a bilateral agreement wiht India( I not 100% sure though). Any other routes that they could do?

IMHO, i think AC should take delivery of its 345s and 346s. Yes, they are not at the best time for it but it could work out to be an advantage in the long run. They could have a long haul fleet consiting of:

A333’s
A343’s
A345’s
A346’s

After the retirement of the 744s early next year this fleet would suit them well. Is there anyway AC could take delivery? Also, would the acceptance of the Aircraft be a problem, i know there are two 345’s waiting of them but would they have to wait for a new production slot on the 330/340 line?

Yeah AC were already planning for a YVR-SYD route when they would receive the aircraft!

Yeah true Interflug62M, the B747 will start to become less popular and just fade away.

Is she as much an aviation enthusiast as you? Yeah SYD is awesome, she going to see the rugby, is that why shes going?

Yep true comment, personally i think its good, Airbus have a good range of aircraft and doing pretty well at the moment!!!
