GrantSmith Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 ^^ My data doesn't have it as an Airbus ... What does your data have it as? The aircraft in the fleet of Kuwait Airways are: A300's, A310's, A320's, A340-300's (-500 is the state aircraft) and B777's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David48 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 I hope this is not the end of the quiz. Mate, like all things in life, once the nourishment stops, everything withers. I have no more nourishment (new planes) to give at the moment ... maybe time for others to contribute some spots. They did there for a while ... maybe they will do again. Dancealot ... thanks for the support ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancealot Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 While David48 is occupied at the moment and we're enjoying Spud's cold and chilling planes I think it's worth to introduce Ryanair's 2014 calendar. Peculair to see 11 hostesses this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think it looks great. I assume in part because it is the 900 series but I was also drawn to the windscreen and the wings. It arrived at the far end of the runway so I could not see it well on final but the wings look like they flex a lot, giving it the appearance of a bird in flight. Funny story; or at least I think it's funny: After the airplane landed and finished its roll, the pilot came on the radio and said, "Blah blah blah North America blah blah blah." Unfortunately, between his accent, the radio and (probably) a poorly placed mic, I couldn't understand what he was saying. So I replied, "Airbus XXXX, transmission unreadable, say again." Again the pilot said, "Blah blah blah North America blah blah blah." Again, I couldn't understand what he was saying. So I replied, "Airbus XXXX, transmission unreadable, say again." To which the pilot replied, (and this is a gross paraphrasing because I got the gist but not all of the words) "Airbus is proud to bring the new A350 to the people of Iqaluit and northern Canada on its maiden flight to North America." Oops, completely missing the grandeur of the moment and feeling like a bit of an a$$ because I should have expected that, I replied, "Well, we sure are happy to have you here and hope you enjoy our hospitality." Always be prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud67 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Just watched the maiden flight of this new bird on Discovery last night. A new low cost mid range fighter jet. vgWsW.Em.80.jpg Copyright Travis Heying/The Wichita Eagle - link will be provided to original story. I will leave this one a couple more days in case anyone wants to try it. The aircraft was developed with parts already in production bringing the cost of the jet down to a measly $20 million per and $2,000/hr to operate.

Well SVB if you are down to Singapore Feb. 11-12 you can take a look and ask. Airbus A350 To Appear at Singapore Airshow January 23, 2014, 10:04 AM Airbus has decided to bring an A350 XWB flight-test airplane to the Singapore Airshow next month, marking the first “full” display of the model at an international airshow. Plans call for flight-test airplane MSN3 to appear on static display on February 11 and 12. Airbus also expects the airplane to participate in the flying displays on both days. Carriers from the region that have already ordered the aircraft include AirAsia X, Air China, Asiana Airlines, Cathay Pacific Airways, China Airlines, Hong Kong Airlines, Japan Airlines, Singapore Airlines, SriLankan Airlines, Thai Airways International and Vietnam Airlines. In all, Airbus has collected firm orders for 812 A350s from 39 customers. More here - AINonline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a link to the news story and photo provided previously. In a previous interview, an executive from Cessna/Textron stated that the Scorpion was not built to compete with the big boys but would fill a nice niche in homeland security. What??? Homeland security? Could you imagine the outcry if the US, UK, Canada or any other western nation fired missiles on their own soil? Maybe Assad would be interested...
