AIRBORNE !!! -THE END - ;) Perhaps not the end. What actions might the pilots find themselves taking as they explain the situation. In all fairness to the pilots, there are 3 airports within 8 miles (13km); all have runways that line up on the same coordinates. The Beechcraft Airport, however is sl...

My daughter lives in Wichita, about 3 miles (5 km) from Jabarra Airport and she sent me this link with 3 stories from the Wichita Eagle newspaper - interesting. I wonder if the US unemployment ranks grew by 2 more people? see: http://www.kansas.com/2013/11/21/3132439/dreamlifter-lands-at-jabara-airp...

Concept shown in Aviation Week and Space Technology is a hypersonic UAV. Might be interesting.

Old warbirds like these are like St. Bernard dogs - they are expensive to feed and they'll take a big bite out of your wallet! I worked with a WW2 pilot who flew the P-51 in Europe; he always said it was a blast to fly, but you want to do it on Uncle Sam's money.

they don't, its just marketing lying and playing with some figures fitting best their needs. its not just boeing but airbus, car makers, ... you name it do it I don't believe it is lying, per se, but an engineering estimate based of known facts. The A-320 is heavier than the current B-737 and uses ...

Given the age of the KC-135's, I'm surprised that the Israeli's want to purchase them, especially with their ability to convert B-767's to tankers.

Certainly (on the pilots part), a career limiting gesture!

This is ONLY a door seal, which wasn't 100% tight. Talking max a few millimetres (not cm). Putting some wet blankets is an old technique which normally works fine. Absolutely a NON-EVENT and not worth anymore words! A NON-EVENT to an informed person (or aviation expert), but to a non-informed passe...

This certainly puts a big black-eye on Boeing's already red face.

I'd love to visit and see the planes.

Hence the role of Groom Lake, Area 51.

Refreshing to see (it true) something new!

Anyone knows any "reason" why the 747-8i isn't that much of a seller ? I've noticed the cargo is doing quite ok but the passenger version isn't selling that much ... no demand or not living up to expectations ?? Maybe both, but I guess it's mostly because Boeing isn't really making an eff...

That's how I'd handle it.

Why are EK and QR not happy with the design? did they want it to look like a space ship or stick to being A330 like? Will they be using same engines as 787, doe sthat mean airbus will too recommend white only engine colour to customers, screwing up many a liveries in the bargain like Boeing have do...

And now you know why the KC-135 boom extends 35+ feet (10 meters) below and behind the tanker!! The E-3 did react violently in yaw - I assume that the pilot was a wee bit heavy handed for the plane to react so quickly.

Neat film!

weird we didn't see a 747 order also a shame UA didn't split their order between boeing and airbus. god damn CO management... fleet planning was pro airbus How do you know fleet planning was pro-Airbus? I know a United (CO) A-320 pilot who told me that United was giving large preference to the new ...
