ahhh…..but there is method in my madness…..the orange may be garish, but hopefully waking up next to a blonde will distract me! 😉

I don’t know, it looks a lot like the A380 to me. Not to mention, since there is only 1 double deck aircraft of this configuration it is clearly meant to imply it’s the A380.

edit: I’ve read online that the makers of the film didn’t bother consulting Airbus (probably knowing that Airbus wouldn’t be thrilled about a hijacking on their new product) so they created an aircraft very, very similar to the A380 and call it the A-474. Wow, no one will see through that vague reference. I guess Airbus is a bit miffed by the whole thing. Can’t imagine why. 🙂

A474????

[B] some creative consultant is probably payed £60,000 a year and he comes up with that? :rolleyes:

one thing i did notice…. why didnt the storekeeper who knew what size bolts were needed pipe up and tell the engineer that he was wrong?

hindsight is a wonderful thing,but unfortunatly you only get taught that when an accident happens.

Are you COMPLETELY unaware that here in the UK an Aviation White Paper was published by the Government? In the consultationm and work leading to the White Paper many options for development of airports in the UK were covered, subsequently the Government decided which schemes it felt were necessary for long term development of the airports in this country.

One part of this was that the Government supported a 3rd runway at LHR (subject to planning and environmental issues), which will be North of the existing north runway an North of the A4. If you look at http://www.dft.gov.uk you will probably find the layout as proposed for the White paper.

Well that means one hellva lot of Houses are going to be compulsary purchased for it then!

a wet blanket of a defence minister called Geoff Hoon, or as my mate in the RAF says Geoff Buffhoon.
Listening to Col Tim Collins on the radio yesterday (former CO of the 1st battalion royal Irish Reg, who gave that speech to his men to great acclaim) defence budget cuts are a joke, if the Army could turn down the oxygen to save money it would

heh, sounds like the UK forces.
We have guns that only work on a cool, dry day. LOL

Tanks that only like the lush green forests of western europe,desert boots that melt in anything above 66 degree’s farenheit and a light support machine gun that has a tendency of taking the gunners fingers off if he doesnt watch what he is doing…. then there is the eurofighter typhoon…. years late,over budget……………. :rolleyes:

there was an incident a few months back involving a faulty fuel computer on a virgin 346, i dont think an engine or engines flamed out,but the crew made the decision to land at Amsterdam.
