[Raycpa]

[Yossarian]

Nuts. The link isn't working, at least for me here on an up-to-date Mac. I'll see if there's an update I can get for Flash, maybe I'm not up-to-date on that...

Does anyone have the direct link to the Windows Media Stream? I don't mean a link to the Flash page that will link me to the stream, but the actual stream URL. Thanks!

[missnry]

The “Teleprompter reader” syndrome!
Al Gore will appreciate the environmentally friendly comment from Jim McNerney.

[paul544]

Tom Brokaw??? My god. Don’t these people ever just go away?

[golas1964]

Brokaw???

[Crazieman]

Lost the sound.

[paul544]

Master of ceremony. This should take another 2 hours.

[missnry]

SOUND WENT OUT!!!

[golas1964]

Liberals despise Capitalism; that is unless they’re on the payroll of course...

[bajabaja]

Lost sound as well as Brokaw was being introduced. Using the Boeing site.

Another other web-based feed?

[krb]

Me too.

[golas1964]

DirecTV Channel has sound.

[paul544]

Me too. No sound.

Nevermind. It’s back.

[krb]

Choppy on my end.

[Yossarian]

Its an airliner ya think it would be on time ?

The rollout speeches are boring, but the plane looks cool. I saw a program on it yesterday and it uses composite plastics to make it lighter and stronger than if it was made from aluminum. Also, it has two big ol’ bad-ass engines instead of 4 smaller ones. A good looking bird for sure.

[bajabaja]

Try the link in post #25 if your Boeing direct feed gets spotty. I am in Mexico right now and it works here. Viva aviacion!

[missnry]

They’re still putting in rivets behind the curtain!

On the Boeing 787, for the first time, the engine nacelles will have scalloped rear-edge chevrons. The chevrons, developed by the 787 nacelle manufacturer Goodrich as a result of research carried out by Boeing with GE Aviation and Rolls-Royce, will cut down greatly on the noise made by fast-moving air exiting the engine shearing against the external air. This GEnx engine, mounted on GE's 747 test aircraft, clearly shows the nacelle chevrons. Credit: GE Aviation

[LEARNED FOREVER]

It’s a great looking aircraft. I plan on buying one myself.

[golas1964]

So he can go back to Montana and force his anti-gun philosophy on all his neighbors, no doubt.

[golas1964]

Can you believe this touchy-feely nonsense!!! They wasted money on this crap?

[missnry]

It’s the wave of the future!
It’s all about feelings...
Ommmmmmmmmmmmm...

[golas1964]

I thought this was the unveiling of a new jetliner. Instead we get a continuation of ‘Live Earth’!

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

I finally got the stream with your link but I am watching someone playing the piano. Is there an airplane somewhere?

[al baby]

to Quote Todd Beamer Lets Roll

[bajabaja]

Getting warmer, a test pilot. Still no tap dancing, however.

[gcruse]

ROFL

[missnry]

This is all meant to keep Airbus in suspense. I don’t know if Airbus did all this fluff when they rolled out their A380.

[golas1964]

Speaking of Airbus...
