RE: Pic of the day-A faster Hammer and Sickle!
One of the greatest things about my short time in this forum is the people I have now come across who like myself enjoy and have an interest in Soviet/Russian types. But then again I guess that’s what a good forum is all about!

RE: IBERIA TO JOIN THE LONG LIST OF A340-500/-600 CUSTOMERS
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 02-02-03 AT 11:44 AM (GMT)]Sorry Minidoh I disagree-Boeing rules as part of its left over legacy from the days when other than MDC there was no worthwile competition. In my own opinion the industry is in major transition for a number of reasons. The current order and sales figures speak for themselves. Its not too late for Boeing to retain its overall position as ONE of the main airframe manufacturers in the world, but I really do feel that the days of Boeing being THE main manufacturer are very nearly over, despite the propaganda of Ryanair! There IS room for both, however, I stick by my line below,

RE: Pic of the day-“Ready or not- I’m commin to get ya!
Aeroflot still list 9 IL62s in the fleet, I don’t know if they still use them on services outside the CIS. Uzbek Airlines still fly them on non-prestige routes, Domodedovo Airlines still list them as operational and East Line has one based at Vnukovo. There are a few other domestic carriers in CIS using them in one or twos. If anyone knows of more please let me know. Thanks.

RE: Boeing… a bit P’ed off at Iberia.
Come on Kabir……Like it or not,in almost all respects the Airbus is the superior product in terms of technological spec and, so I am told by those who know better than I, operating costs and efficiency. I am not wholly anti Boeing-I just think they have to try harder, they were offered the chance to co-operate on the A380 product and they declined. That was a great pity, I think both parties would have gained from it-I have reached the point where this could get political so I shall close here.

RE: The new SNB Airlines c/s…pic here.
Not bad, but I think it would have looked better to have the light blue continue to the nose, I agree however that it would look better on a larger aircraft.

RE: Pic of the Day-My favourite large turboprop
I think one or two CIS carriers still use IL18 on domestic routes.I am pretty sure that the only national carrier still using them on passenger routes is Air Koryo out of Pyongyang.
