Without me knowing it I saw the last NWA 757 at BRU when I arrived from Alaska this morning. :lol: But if the shortage of pilots is really the cause, then I wouldn't be surprised if they return, since AF/KLM said the route was so successful. I would be surprised, however, if it actually is the only ...

I really don't think it'll make much difference. The seat width and legroom is nearly the same on CO and US (at least in coach) and video is available on both the 757 and 767. And not to forget: some US domestic flights are as long or longer as some transatlantic flights.

It looked a lot nicer on Boeing's 787 render for Hainan. :? They should have made the red a lot darker IMO.

This was mentioned on another forum a couple of days age. I did a search on the Boeing website for "BWB" and it turned up a few .pdf files, dated from April and the 2007 Paris Airshow if I'm correct. They said it was currently being developed by Boeing Skunkworks as a military transporter ...

I don't actually have it, but I've heard that even though the model and VC are nice looking, it's a framerate-eater and the systems are still not finished yet, so the actual flying isn't as realistic as say the LDS 767.

I say this airport must close or take safety measures which would be nearly impossible considering the location of the airport. The troubled history of the airport has proven that it's simply too dangerous for large jets because of the buildings nearby and the short runway. The BRA 734 was just luck...

Its a tough call for Boeing with the 777 selling so well, but QANTAS have joined Emirates in saying the 78-10 hasnt got sufficient range compared with the XWB1000. How can they be so sure of that if Airbus hasn't even come up with a final design for the A350XWB? the now 40-year-old 747 jumbo, which...

Looks like the EU blacklist is more and morning turning out in a list to protect the own European airlines against concurrence from abroad (as I heard TAAG is doing better on the Luanda-Lisbon route than TAP does)... To ban TAAG completely even after their complete fleet renewal with brandnew aircr...
