"Ladies and gentlemen this is your Captain speaking. Please ignore the fact that we are falling out of the sky like a rock. We will be back up and running shortly, as soon as windows finishes re booting. You are in luck today my co-pilot is Bill Gates himself."

That's the 747SP which, while impressive in it's own right is ever so slightly less impressive than landing the 742 there before that. I only say slightly less because she has the same lift as the 742 but less weight. Either way though landing with your outer bogies in the grass has got to be a majo...

Poor old Blastor must be off somewhere with a glass of milk in one hand and a cap gun in the other. Record profits and climbing stock.

Ya gotta feel for the guy LOL.

Well I thought about that as a kid, but I'm too old and fat now lol. I'll be 39 next month.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm gonna go do the trial fit soon.

IF
a.) I had the money
and
b.) I could fit in the damn thing

I would buy it, theres something about high wings that makes 'em look way better as a taildragger.

Hmmm... Funny I never thought about multiple intro flights. Doh!!! Thanks for the input. I have never been unhappy about my size except in aviation. Example I cannot fly coach on anything over a 2 hr flight. Forget about window seats on a CRJ too. This is actually one of the contributing factors to ...

I am hoping to begin flight training soon and have a (maybe dumb?) question. I have very little experience in small aircraft, flew in a few cessnas as a kid, so I'm curious. I'm a large fella at 6'5" and 250+. Should I spend the extra to train in a Cherokee or 172 over a 152? I know I won't fit well...

Still good news for the company. Let's hope for more orders.

Good news for BBD

All wood jokes aside this is an excellent choice. Going to one supplier for all your equipment is always a bad idea. Add in the fact that AC will be getting more efficient aircraft, that will save them money in the long run ,and for once I am willing to give kudos to AC management. This was the best...

Great news for Boeing and Air Canada. Can't wait to see them.

Actually That's why I think that all Airbus narrows and all Boeing wides would be good. The spares commonality between narrows and wides in the Airbii is nonexistant. Going all Boeing with the wides but keeping the Airbus narrows would keep both companies on thier toes. Besides if what they are hint...

I was driving truck for a Nursery out of Surrey BC. I had crossed the border in the wee hours and made a drop in Snohomish Wa. I pulled into a rest area for quick nap. Woke up about 8:00 am and was cursing myself as I knew I would hit Seattle traffic since I had slept through my alarm. Tom Lykus of ...

Don't forget that Milton has stated before that he doesn't like the idea of all the aircraft coming from a single supplier. Also with a rather small fleet of Widebody Airbii, fleet commonality isn't that big of an issue. It would be quite interesting to see Boeing widebodies and Airbus narrows. I'm ...

Only in Canada eh?
Hmmm
Pity....

I too disagreed with many of his ideas
I will say however, that he was a great man and the world will miss him.

Actually I have quite a bit of research under my belt in this area. In my home at this minute are 15 samples of plastics (psuedo plastics if you prefer) that require NO petrochemicals in thier manufacture. One nice clear sample that I have in front of me, is manufactured out of cornstarch and is bio...

The problem with biofuels right now (or almost every other alternative energy source)...it takes large quantities of fossil fuel to get it. That is the problem. We are way too dependant upon fossil fuels and need to start reversing this yesterday. But you see this argument doesn't hold water. By th...

Of course fossil fuels are not really required for aviation. Gas turbine engines will run quite well on many different fuels. I think the saving grace of aviation in the short term Could [/i][/b] be biofuels. At current oil prices biofuel is a very viable alternative. This would help the economies o...

What?
You thought Jetsgo failing would HURT them? ...
...
Jetsgo failing is the best thing to happen to them both this year.
I would think it would be obvious

A sad, sad day for the Canadian "justice" system.
