Been flying (a lot) for years - two weeks ago had my first flight in a 747 - what a great aircraft.
And good for Boeing - time to leave Airbus in the dust - see ya' suckers.

I am thrilled for Boeing but have to wonder: they are getting so many orders, when will they reach production capacity?
To: clippedwing
Seems like nothing more than a ploy to me...
...in order to get some concessions from the other Eurowheenies when it comes to German labor manufacturing the Airbust.

I am thrilled for Boeing but have to wonder: they are getting so many orders, when will they reach production capacity? They have told Southwest Airlines that they cannot fill their order for the latest 737s at this time.

Looks to me like an incident in Sept 2005 in which an A320 had a nose-gear malfunction and landed in LA with the nosegear turned 90 degrees to the line of flight.

Hey...I worked with a German Lady who'd fly them back to Der Faderland annually; I'd kid her about it being "Luftwaffe" - she said she used the term on some ensuing flights and got laughs ... of course, she was "from the tribe".

I'm on the flipside...I haven't travelled a whole bunch, but as circumstances would have it a whoooole lot of my airplane time has been on 747's - going back to when they used to fly L.A. to Chicago, with the disco and piano bar up in the pod.
I love 'em!!

Have you ever noticed how they say it is worth $1.5 billion at LIST prices....do these go on sale...I can just see the salesman in his checkered suit saying..."seeing as tho its Thursday..have we got a deal for you".... Before the salesman says that, he says he has to run the deal past his manager first.

Some perspective - 20 747s is over a years backlog of that Jumbo airplanes. That is huge. The 747 is alive and well.

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
And Lufthansa is his name
Quantus and JAL and all the rest
Will soon be do the same
Bells are ringin', Boeings singin'
All is merry and bright
Buy your stock and say your prayers
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight!
