Depends how near to the back your sitting! bmi offer ear plugs on their F100 flights to the passengers in the last couple of rows as you can’t hear a thing! Hehe!!! :p

I think they’re a great looking aircraft, but perhaps a little limited in range for a charter operator like TUI. You just don’t imagine them being much use to a charter airline like that. Obviously they’re not going to make the canaries or cyprus in an F100 are they. 😮

It was even a struggle for an Air UK F100 to make it from Stansted to Salzburg ski-ing charter flight, unless at least half the luggage was left behind to get the required fuel on board

Just my personal opinion, but the Blue peter british airways scheme is great…why cant ba adopt the all white fuselage, but leave the tail and logo on the side the same….suits it much better than the blue on the belly.

Just a quick note…… but why does the new Air Canada colour scheme make me think of a bottle of mouthwash or other hygiene/medical supplies?

Of course. I was referring to the engines only because all AB’s have BAe wings. Not all AB’s have RR engines. Thank God. I don’t like the full length cowling on the A330.

How can you say that!!!…it’s a design masterpiece, looks far better than the circumsised look on the Pratt&whitney and GE has to offer. It stands out alot better too,and when your sitting in the A330 and lookout the window you see the silver plate with the Black and Bold RR on there it makes you feel proud to be British, that once a struggling company back in the 70s and 80s and it can now can capture over half the worlds aero engine orders, whether it be thru RRBMW or Allison, you know there’s something special there.

Party political broadcast over! 😀

Thinking back ive been on a few 757’s too

Air2000 Inaugral flight to Faro
Britannia
British Airways
US Airways
First choice
Monarch

With the temp being a nice and “cool” 39 degree’s, how does that affect the performance of the A346 in terms of loading and take off distance?

I approve of Shanghai’s chose of engine for their ’57. It’s a shame they stopped production of the 757. It has to be arguably the most versatile jetliner of all time.

Would of been nice to have the last 757 off the line to have RB211’s, like the launch airplane!

there’s a photocall and press conference with the pilots once it has parked up

did it use reverse thrust on landing?
