Cursed Japanese Model Thought to Be Responsible for Boeing 787*Troubles

NSFW but she's very pretty

The AA one is bigger than the AAA?

Have I got that right?

Build your own Zeity, like Walter did

Don't enjoy traveling with the great unwashed masses? Just get yourself one of these personal helicopters. What could possibly go wrong? Skip to around 35 secs for the demo.

Was trying to talk Mrs into flying to Florida with Thomson on this.

No chance now. maybe I shouldnt let her watch Air Crash Investigations on Sky any more?

I see Thomson have some on order. Chances they might cancel this order now I guess LOL.

Go business class on an A380; there's a bar in the back so you can arrive refreshed and ready, sorry, pissed as a newt.

The venerable Dakota. ...They don't make 'em like they used to

And with a safety record like that:
Accident Database: Aircraft Crash Details > Douglas DC-3

I can only say Thank God !

The latest and greatest?

Anyone seen 'Flight' with Denzil Washington? Good movie actually but the flight and crash scenes even to my clueless eyes seem a tad unrealistic, 'we are inverted, I copy, we are inverted...'

Boeing Dreamliner grounded

No thanks, gimme a DC3 anytime...

The venerable Dakota. I remember flying in one from Rhodesia back to South Africa many years ago when it got struck by lightning, it kind of dropped a few thousand feet, passengers hit the roof and my sister thought it was fantastic, better than a rollercoaster. Still got us home and then turned around and flew back with another batch of passengers. They don't make 'em like they used to (and that counts for many things)

It's being renamed the NightmareLiner.

Never a good sign when the backup battery self incinerates.

And what would you know about batteries? We need someone round here who understands electronics - not someone who struggles to tell an AA and an AAA apart.....

Careful with the narrow undercarriage !

& the lack of visibility & room within the cockpit
