Jeeeez, my iPhone really messed up my message of yesterday. Seems like the dictionary completed and changed a lot and my message has become hard to read :s Anyhow, I do understand your remark that Airbus employees have to be paid in EUR, not in USD of course and certainly not in gold, but on the oth...

Euro? dollar versus euro? All planes are sold in USD, an Airbus isn't invoiced in EUR. This also accounts for spares and engineering etc. So Airbus gets its pieces in USD and seks again in USD. This also accounts for all gold in the word, wicht balie is also matches against the USD. Furthermore the ...

Believed to have been found now.
Has crashed into the mountains.
Really really sad news and bad for the Asian sales campaign.

Thank you all for these nice pics. Even though I couldn't be there, it made me happy.
With the stupid low cloudbase, didn't see the F16's but heard them roar over Brussels...

G*damn, I'm at work, will miss the nice event.... I hope someone is able to take some nice pics to share with all of us here... especially with the BAF escort, will be a nice sight...

Thanks in advance & enjoy !!

Huray!! I'd like to see some in Brussels Airlines colours although that will never happen, we can be quite sure of. I think it is a very able competitor to the Embraer family and hope we can see some in Western European skies as well!

Massive undertaking. Congratulations on such hard work!!

Best regards

NEWSFLASH on flightglobal site. It is claimed that the J20 made its maiden flight. Article does show in flight pics. http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2011/01/11/351702/chinas-j-20-likely-conducted-maiden-flight.html We now need to wonder what the capabilities of the plane are. It is not the firs...

Thanks!!

This morning, The Delta flight Brussels-Atlanta has been cancelled. It seems also the one of tomorrow and the day after. My uncle and aunt who live in the States (Savannah, so no direct connection with Brussels) were supposed to return there, using this morning's flight. After the cancellation, they...

Thanks for sharing! That is indeed great material. I was really astonished when looking at it.
Thanks again. Best regards, Capt. R.

Point taken, I now exactly see what you mean... I wrongfully thought you meant that the whole surface would be a moving one, without elevators being fitted but acting as a full one (I was thinking of the F16 for instance, or the Chinese plane in this tread and thought you meant the exact same on an ...

@deltawhiskey, I'm sorry, indeed misread, but still, don't know any airliners either with full moving tailplanes... It is comon on fighter aircraft (F16 is a clear example). May'be you meant that then...

Indeed regi, very strange... Imagine flexing it fully at mach 2 and your plane will certainly become invisble for the radar (that is because it will become defragmented into tiny exploded pieces hahaha). @deltawhiskey => euhm... which airliner has a full flexing vertical fin?? I cannot come up with ...

Strange... On the pic it looks as if the entire V-shaped tail flexes as a stabilo/ rudder. Really no clue why such huge surface should flex entirely, on a plane capable of enormous speeds... Full flexing tails are to be found occassionally on slow speed planes, such as STOL rugged ultralights or sim...

I know these are just models and nobody is to actually live there... But personally, you could see this work of art also as a joke towards all those people building houses right next to an airport and then complaining about the noise levels :) In this case, it would be ridiculous actually living ON ...

Hello Jan EBIS can be recognised from the air by following the motorway and river which both have a curve near the aerodrome. If I remember well, there is one brownish coloured hangar. It is indeed a very tricky terrain, even with DPM for novices when the corn is at its maximum. Due to this, the str...

Would this plane feature any in flight botox refueling capacities for the first Lady?

Perhaps it was another pilot-trainee landing the plane, and the captain noticed and took over just in time to prevent disaster, unlike the AMS crash. Perhaps the trainee forgot that the plane is not a car and on theground you have to steer left/right with the rudder pedals and not with the joystick...

I also think it is wrong labelling this as "the same as making a dent in your Ferrari"... Always beware of airlines in great sudden expansion, like THY.... In the '80's and '90's, Turkish' safety record received some serious dents with numerous accidents and incidents, when the company was...
