Classic British Flight Sim

Just to be clear, the stated range is based on 1,200 miles out, 4 hours on station, and then 1,200 miles back..

Ah.. that makes more sense. I've not read up on the Poseidon so 1,200miles seemed more than a bit ridiculous

BTW.. I think engineers here would agree that Boeing are good aircraft to work on.. I've heard as much from the Vanguard team at Brooklands. I don't think any of our 'late' airliners were designed with ease of maintenance in mind.. especially the bent nail!

I had a quick look at the one in UK a couple of weeks back.
Very nice and purposeful , now it's a wonder Ryanair don't want to replace the rear hold on theirs with bomb door...
here's the baggage you have to sort it yourself

Flippancy aside, as CT says, has more in common with a BBJ than straight 737.

Wonder if there will be a repaint for the PMDG NGX?

I'll get my coat...

You laugh.. I'd bet it'd be snapped up in short order! You release it at the Outhouse though mate.. not here

Oh, I almost forgot - I wish Boeing would put the fuel panel they have on the P-8 into all of their BBJs. I fuel as many BBJs as anything else at my work and the P-8 panel is a thing of beauty being simple and functional while still having the goodies of a modern airplane.

I get sleepy at that time of night, having eaten my supper AND the one Mrs Airspeed keeps making for you. I tell her it's just the TV aerial rattling, but she thinks it's your bike.

It better not be a Joey pie... or I swear!

The plot thickens - this is from the Daily Telegraph:

Battle to win £2bn deal to replace Britain's Nimrod spy planes

The pictures of the broken-up MR4's are rather sad. The photos of their most likely replacement will make Ben sad.

Almost time to get that PMDG paintkit out
