I hope i'm wrong ('cause winglets make otherwise dull 737's look sexy), but i find it hard to believe they're putting winglets on these oldies...
I have doubts about the economical viability....

A good time to visit the museum of flight is when they have evening openings. At least one night a week it's open till 9 o'clock. It's a great time to visit, 'cause there are few people visiting...

I like the Avro, although it's not sexy, sleek, fast or beautifull, it gets the job done & that is what matters the most to an airline, i guess. I think the name AVRO comes from the English aviation pioneer A. V. Roe. the name got changed at some point in time to BAe, but nostalgia won it some p...

EK request

I recently noticed an Emirates 777-300 with a red rectangle, in which the word 'Emirates' is written, painted on its belly. Are all the EK planes going to painted in this way or is it just the one 777 ? It sure makes them easy to recognise from the ground...
