Wow.... amazing....... A 7LATE7 performs take off and landings....... Is that something that no other airplane manages??? Next you'll be telling us somebody successfully used a toilet in a 7LATE7

Considering the A330 Programme wasn't launched until 1987 and 1st delivery made in 1993, the A330 will easily beat the 767 for deliveries.

Now that is one dodgy looking haircut!!!! Remind me never to go to the same place..... Mind you, I've now gone 10 years without any scissors near my bonce!!!!

Interesting read - a report on one of the TAAG engine failures..... So, despite TAAG having a poor history with aircraft maintenance, they are now complying with the approved maintenance programme. So GE have admitted similar failures have occurred with another operator.

Winnie would have been top poster in this thread..... but he seems to have gone missing...

Net figures give the true picture of how a business is really doing, not gross figures. If you look at the 7LATE7, looking at the orders for the year there was 37...... now that doesn't look bad....... but when you figure in the cancellations the truth is Boeing are losing orders for it because of the continuing delays...

Because gross orders isn't the real figure... Yes 76 777's were ordered, but 30 were cancelled..... Yes 37 7LATE7's were ordered, but 41 were cancelled....

Another lost order for Boeing Oh dear....... This cancellation is included in the 2010 figures but has only just been reported.

Ahhhhh..... Tangerine Dream....... Love em...... Got a huge collection of their albums, although not so many of their recent albums......

Net sales by Model:- 737 = 486 747 = -1 767 = 3 777 = 46 787 = -4 Take out the 737 orders and the results don't look very good at all. A net total of 44 wide-body orders, which is less than the net orders Airbus received for just the A330... Boeing might be winning in the narrow body market, but currently Airbus have lead in the wide body market.

Airbus gets another A380 order...... Read this!!! Yes, it's only an order for 6 but they are a new customer for the A380, although they haven't chosen the engine supplier yet..... Nice start to the year for Airbus!!!!

Just wanted to see if VicVegas would bite again......... And he did...

Wikileaks reveals dodgy dealings by the US.... No surprises there then!!! Remember when Boeing got caught with cheating with the Tanker contract!!!

It is 2011!!!!

And another classic..... Metallica fans will recognise First saw the ANWL at the Christmas on Earth Festival in Leeds 1981...

Absolute classic.... especially if you like sheep!!!

Last time I did it, I didn't quite make the 04:30 bus..... it was more like 06:30 when I staggered away from a New Plaza bar and caught a motorbike-taxi up to the bus station Once had to be woken up after the bus had parked up at Ekamai!!!

That passer-by must have had a fairly decent camera considering the light conditions at the time the photo was taken, and looking at the oil leak under the car I would say it had been taken a while after it happened.

What??? You get up at 5AM to watch a game of rounders!!!

Sometimes when I have been staying in Bangkok I have caught a bus down to Pattaya for a night out then returned on one of the early buses.... they start running again at 04:30!

A lot of the posts on that thread are only speculation. Until the official report comes out then nobody really know what has gone on with those 777's.

The A350 managed to gain more orders than the A330, so your reasoning doesn't quite ring true. Over the last 2 years Airbus has managed a net gain of orders for the A350 whereas the 7LATE7 has suffered a net loss.

Still nothing from him........

What is interesting with airline orders this year is that Airbus has done much better than Boeing in the twin aisle market with the A330/A350/A380 compared to the 747/777/767/787. There is only the 737NG that has been selling well for Boeing.

Didn't I? I find it funny that a team of techs from GE had just been working on the engines of D2-TEE at Lisbon prior to the flight and had obviously given it the all clear to fly. Yes, TAAG have had a chequered history and been subject to a European ban previously, but they must have done enough to gain clearance to resume operations into Europe again. Their older aircraft are still subject to a ban. So I haven't read the thread?
