Women, as such, can't be ['excluded' is what is the word by word translation, it is more a 'denied out of' or 'banned from'] our society. Close, but not eactly. I don't think a translation is possible at all. You have to know the German sociologyc slang to grasp the sheer irony of this statement. Stefan |

Not sure I'm crazy about this idea, as GA ramp space might be appropriated for new facilities. On the other hand, if it boosts the local economy enough, it might pump up my Bonanza fund. -- Dan C172RG at BFM |

Still, as an aviation buff, I'd love to watch a touch-and-go. -- Dan C172RG at BFM Some years ago I happened to pass by Travis AFB, CA in a 152. There were a few C5 Galaxies in the pattern - doing touch and go's. Impressive, even from a distance. It was a rather large pattern. David Johnson |

It is unfortunate that Boeing has suffered under some pretty poor management for the last decade or two. If they'd have spent as much time on airplane design and marketing as they did trying to get the government to bail them out against Airbus, I think they'd be much more competitive now.

You sure it wasn't the way that the badly designed cargo door latch on the DC-10 caused the largest aircrash in history until Tenerife? -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ Today is a good day. Not because anything wonderful is happening, so much, but because my definition of a 'bad day' has been revised. -- Chris Klein |

"Matt Whiting" wrote The dreamliner looks pretty cool to me. And the way fuel costs are going, the smaller more efficient machine may just be the way of the future. Assuming all the seats are full, (which they usually are full, or almost full) on the long haul routes, the larger the more efficient. -- Jim in NC |

Martin,
hopefully they'll have a save first flight soon. They'll wait for the pope election hype to subside, if they want maximum PR effect. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Dan,
Yes. My airport, Mobile Downtown, is in the running. So what on earth are you complaining about in your "war" comments? You'd rather want Airbus to take your view and move to some other place? Jeeze... -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

In article ,
says... In a previous article, "Blueskies" said: The MD 11 killed MD... You sure it wasn't the way that the badly designed cargo door latch on the DC-10 caused the largest aircrash in history until Tenerife? May have been both - however the MD11 made specific promises for utility (load and range) which it was unbable to deliver. This led to cancelled orders and public derision (American made some public statement about returning to Boeing "who at least know how to make an airplane"). Thus the investment in the MD11 had no hope of being recovered. G Faris |
