Nice shots from everyone there – and here is one of my own: An Air Berlin 737-800W waits to take off as a Sky Europe 737-500 lands at STN (both are AI):

I’ve almost finished loading the STN AI and then it’s on to LUton 😮

If anyone’s interested and missed it first time round it’s now available on Youtube:

Love that shot of G-JEBG

I was of course jesting on the debate stopping part 😉
Most of it is now shifting to repair methods and lightning conduction, rather than the safety/feasability of a composite fuselage.

Cool 🙂 – it always amazes me how many fully qualified composite engineers with access to all the files at Boeing there are on a.net :diablo:

I’ve watched with some amusement the forums on A.net, FL350 and Pprune where debates against the composites have been heated, with many trivial matters blown out of all proportion. Yet, all these fears and cons instantly disappeared when Airbus announced their own research into Composite hulls. Suddenly, it was acceptable and safe after all?!?

It’s not quite like that… 🙂
But I do agree fundamentaly with what you say about Boeing knowing what they’re doing.

Thanks guys – I guess it’s poor reputation couldn’t have been good for business then!

How well was Air Wales known within Wales?
