Looks really great!

http://www.f-16.net/f-16-news-article4991.html Interresting news! Extending the life of the F-16, which has a proven record of reliability, is certainly not a bad idea. It will save hundreds of millions of euros to the Belgian budget and give a few years of additional time to select the best option...

I attended a conference on the replacement of the F-16s yesterday, by a retired General of the BAF. It looks like the F-35 is largely the favourite: the most technologically advanced and not necessarily the most expensive (with 3000 sales, vs 600 for the Eurofighter and 300 for the Rafale, the scal...

After all, with the new "investors" SIRW and FPM, and with Sowaer already involved, they're very close to a EU investigation into forbitten state aid. Specially when even more taxpayers money will be invested in a runway extension that is a waste of money (the EU doens't make a difference...

According to the press, the F16 could live 6 more years until 2029 instead of 2023 as announced by NVA Steven VDP....this is the best option for Belgium, I wonder what push the nationalists to call for a new tender in such a hurry. The technology todays allows to extend Design Service Goal of an A/C...

Might as well be the reason why they put the red first iso the black.

The best one for today so far...

I really doubt that Airbus Asset management would charge just by the FH flown.
I guess ABA got a good deal and some support package like training or discount on technical documentation package.

There's Nimby in Namur too now...

Excellent strategy.Hainan is having very big financial issue and I heard that they owe (460,000,000$...?) a huge amount of money to the national fuel company. Limit for payment is this Friday. There might be some route with a bit less competition soon...(PEK and PVG)

Caramba, I was there last January!

They need A340 jacks and also a hi-flow hydraulic rig to perform retraction-extension checks if needed be. If too windy, then they need a hangar to jack it up. For the rest, they should be able to perform line and light a CRL without the need of hangar. I would pay a particular attention on the hydr...

First sonaca 200 assembly starting soon + DOA approval...well done! http://www.sonaca-aircraft.com/news Sonaca 200 would be more something to put in a new topic called "2018 Namur-Suarlee Airport (QMN/EBNM) latest news" don't you think? People refer to that airport as Temploux, not Suarle...

SA for US and Africa???...it reminds a very heated discussion a while ago...can't remember the title of the post though...

Jules Cesar said once that the belgians were the bravest of the gauls tribes...are we turning into a bunch of pussies?
Is it that difficult to climb the stairs ?....and outside in the wind and the rain!!!...OMG...

A321LR is designed for long range market, MTOW 97Tons and max 3ACT's (9363 liters additional fuel capacity), leaving 6 containers positions/ 285 large bags(with bulk) and 202 roller bags in overhead bins.
To optimize some routes, ACT's are reduced to one or two, but can we still talk about LR then?

The 350 might be the first A/C to be certified for single pilot operation in CRZ.

Regarding traffic in and out of China, second tier cities like Qingdao, Nanchang, Nanjing,Wuhan, Kunming, Jinan etc...let's keep in mind that for flight to Europe, pax needs to fly first to an international hub like Shanghai or Beijing to get a flight to Europe...hence the stop is there already. Alt...

Talking about the slide mock-up, I visited a facility where they have a 777 and 330 where the simulator can tilt on the lateral or on the longitudinal axis or both ...changing the attitude to simulate nlg or mlg collapse or even stuck in the mud evacs...I never saw that kind of evac simulator before...
