Airsoft Doesn't Sleep (Off-topic MADNESS!!) Mod warning in post #1

You know, I think Donald Rumsfeld might actually be completely insane. Like, Father Ted character insane.

Not only do airlines avoid anything remotely aircrash related, and not only do they "edit" movies "for a family audience" they also dub over any reference to another airline with their own. For example, an episode of the West Wing which I saw last year had a reference to a US airline by Barak Obama's Matt Santos' character replaced with "Aer Lingus".

The cost of sh!te like that has got to be worth one person's job for a few weeks.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a mid-sized, wide-body, twin-engine jet airliner currently under development by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It will carry between 210 and 330 passengers depending on variant and seating configuration. Boeing stated that it will be more fuel-efficient than earlier Boeing airliners and will be the first major airliner to use composite materials for most of its construction.[3] Boeing's development of the 787 is also innovative in the collaborative management approach with suppliers.
On January 28, 2005, the aircraft's development designation 7E7 was changed to the 787.[4] Early released concept images depicted a radical design with highly curved surfaces. On April 26, 2005, a year after the launch of the program, the final look of the external 787 design was frozen, with a less rakish nose and a more conventional tail.
Boeing featured its first 787 in a rollout ceremony on July 8, 2007, at its Everett assembly factory, by which time it had become the fastest-selling wide-body airliner in history with nearly 600 orders.[5] A total of 861 787s have been ordered by 56 customers as of April 2009.[6] Originally scheduled to enter service in May 2008, production has been delayed and it is currently scheduled to enter into service in February 2010.[7][8][9]






amazing what ya can find out from Wikipedia

that right andy

On May 3, 2009, the first test 787 was moved to the flight line following extensive factory testing. The tests included landing gear swings, systems integration verification, and a total run through of the first flight. Before first flight, the test aircraft must be put through additional power and systems tests, including engine run-ups. Following these and high-speed taxi tests, the maiden flight will occur. On May 4, 2009, a press report indicated that customers will face additional delivery delays of up to six months, because Boeing is not expected to reach its target production rate of 10 aircraft per month until mid-2013. On May 13th, 2009, it was announced during the roll out of the first 787 in ANA colours, that ANA is scheduled to receive the first 787 to enter commercial service in February 2010.

wiki never your friend when it comes to aviation 90% of the time being wron boeing website always better :P

haha thats true its still flawed in some areas though

I saw a A380 in london, there were load's of 747's, they looked big enough, then the A380 was flying in, it looked like it was kinda stuck, floating..

Then as it landed, it was huuuuge.

the runway at dub is big enough and strong enough to hold it just the taxiways and stands arent. we had a big discussion bout this on the AA forum here on boards
