Hello Garry,

Thanks for the link,

That cockpit looks great, certainly un-cluttered!

Cheers,

Roger.

Nice looking aircraft. I'm not sure which I prefer now - the A350 or the 787. It doesn't matter really as I won't be buying one! :lol:

I was watching the take-off on the live link on the iPad but was a bit miffed to see it take off on the the telly about a minute earlier. The BBC News scooped the live take off :-O Good job boys :thumbsup:

Good job Airbus!

Ian :)

He's going up and down like a fiddlers elbow. Plus and minus 1000fpm. I guess it's all part of the test. Very interesting to follow.

12000ft. 420kts. Really giving it a workout.

I guess you're all watching it. Those of us who are retired, and have nothing better to do. It was this, or Sainsburys with the wife. No contest!

Terrain! Terrain! Quick - throw another zero on the altimeter! Phew .... :lol:

No wonder the French ATC went on strike if they have to deal with flight plans like this one :doh:
