Why the fuck does an airliner need eyebrows?
What about McDonnel-Douglas and Lockheed?Sorry but since the 50s bar the 747 and Concorde all airliners are pretty much varying sizes of the same fucking clone. I no more get excited boarding one as I would getting on a bus (not that I take public transport of course. ).
DC3? Super Conny? Comet? Yes. Anything since then meh.
True, true...This is the same Internet that probably has Camry vs. Accord flame wars.
The biggest difference between the 787 and A350 is the fact that the A350 was, in part, designed by Fernando Alonso. Fernando Fucking Alonso.
Maybe ask Boeing about it?Why the fuck does an airliner need eyebrows?
SWEEET paintjob!Because KaJuN.

I will be taking my 600D, a tripod, a 32GB card and a full battery! Hoping to shoot video of the whole display if I can get the right vantage point. Forecast is gusty winds but sunny.
:lol: Reminds me of the best forum meme ever.
Just out of interest, were you being serious or joking when you wrote that bit?
The amount of glee from certain Boeing fanboys whenever a problem with the A380 surfaced was just as nauseating.
If you're going to record video, pleaaaasssseee try and bring an external mic with a fuzzy on it to block out the wind noise. I'm dying to hear that thing with some half-way descent audio, not some over-modulated, tiny-ass mic recording...
Doooo share
Boeing fanboys vs Airbus fanboys is one of the most pathetic strifes I can envisage.
The amount of offense people give and take.. FFS. Come onnnnnn...

Boring or not, a modern commercial airliner is pretty much the most complicated, technologically-advanced machine that our species has ever conceived. It isn't the machine that has made the experience bland; rather, it's the miserable conditions that the airlines/airports provide that have dulled the whole aviation experience.
As for the Airbus vs. Boeing argument, it's silly, but it's no more silly than Corvette vs. Porsche, Ford vs. Chevy or Ferrari vs. Lamborghini; in all of these situations, you have people with little to no experience with one (or either) product substituting opinions for facts. In reality, both Boeing and Airbus make fine aircraft. Though anyone who knows anything about aviation will tell you the real answer to "who builds the best airliners?" is clearly Lockheed. They might not have made many in their history, but every one of them are special aircraft looked upon fondly by anyone who worked with them.
Also, hey guys it's been a while. Miss me?
Alright, seems like we're on the same page... maybe different paragraphs, but BFD.Kind of serious. It was mostly out of annoyance.
I had a long week, so my patience was all but gone.
After AF447 had crashed, I read a lot of the same about Airbus and their sidestick controls in particular. Another, older example is AA587 after which some people claimed that all Airbus aircraft were "flimsy deathtraps" and so on.One of the more frequent forms of bashing by the Airbus fanboys that I run into are claims about Boeing aircraft being dangerous and anyone who flies one is an idiot.
Now that would be a reason!The reason I stabbed Airbus fanboys more than Boeing's in that little rant is because I run into more of them than the Boeing nuts.
It's sad that worthwhile information does get buried under all the manure - makes hunting for those nuggets quite painful.Boeing fanboys vs Airbus fanboys is one of the most pathetic strifes I can envisage.
This is the first fleet MH-60R to operate with a Right Hand Extended Pylon (RHEP) and a full compliment of eight AGM-114 Hellfire Captive Air Training Missiles
Like a bad rash!
How's it going up there?
Is anyone interested in photos of the Frecce Tricolori, Patrouille Suisse, Patrouille de France and a few others? I'll need a time to sort through the 1500+ that I've shot today, but probably not too much.
