Hi all. I just wanted to announce that I'm back again after a very long hiatus of posting.

Some updates on my life:
-I am close to reciving my Private Pilot's License. I expect to take my test in a couple of months.
-I am working on Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt's campaign for re-election.
-I have ...

Although usually I don't give a damn about soccer, I'm really exited about the world cup being in my Mothercountry Germany.

Because I'm both Dutch and German, I support both teams. When watching soccer with Dutch friends (the Dutch games), I will support the Dutch team and party with my Dutch ...

I paid 23.95 Euro's for it.

But that aircraft isn't very long, but the mass it has is soo large (compared to my B747's). It really stands out.

Got some new additions during the last time I updated here (all Herpa wings 1/500):

- Boeing 747-400F Air France Cargo (white)
- Airbus A380-861 Qatar Airways (large)
- Airbus A340-500 Air Canada
- Airbus A330-200 KLM
- Airbus A340-600 Qatar Airways (long)

If you have time, in PEK ... many spotting places but care off because i think that photography of airports and aircrafts is not allowed

I photographed my butt off in China, in the Terminal taking a load of pictures and no one seemed to care. So no big problem to do that I think, but I wouldn't ...

After a couple of beautiful days in the Shanghai area, it was time for the tour group to fly westwards towards Yichang where we would board our cruise-ship for the cruise over the Yangtze. We put our suitcases in front of the hotel door and took the elevator to the lobby where we checked out. We ...

Thanks for all the replies, let me give the answers to some questions. :D

@Airbus_fan, by "Safety" I rate everything related to the safety-aspect on a flight. To give some examples: Warnings when opening the overhead bins, how the crews performs safety demonstrations and if some "dangerous ...

Do you mean it crashed?

I read this in a book which was published in the mid-90's, it did not say if it crashed, but I do not know the current status of the aircraft model (but I did not hear anything about it being crashed).

8O Wow, what an absolutely gorgeous aircraft! The builder has done a real good job in constructing this aircraft, it even includes a camara. :wink:

scale 1/16

Wingspan : 3.77 m

Lengh : 3.98 m

That aircraft must be massive, I wonder where the guy will put it at home, and it sure is a pain in ...

I created this topic because of the situation around New Orleans that has been and is still developing. The extend of this disaster is still not really clear, it seems to be much bigger then what we would have thought it would be.

It is horrible what is happening down there, when I see what happens ...

Thanks for sharing these very nice report, with the excellent pictures with us.

It seems that SN Brussels takes good care of their customers, the amount of little service-details was really impressive and I guess that in these times of low-cost and no-frills these kind of service really appreciated ...

Here is the Boeing press-release:

The aircraft looks very nice, let's hope that Boeing will stay with this design and not change it into something more boring, like they did with the exterior. :(

I see that the cockpit has very large ...

Welcome to Luchtzak, and enjoy your stay on this site! 8)

Wow, great pictures! I absolutely love the stunning picture of the Cargolux Boeing 747F in action, that sand which is kicked up looks really crazy super cool! 8O

My mom has also a SUV, and that one guzzles gas beyond any limits (and in Holland the gas prices are the most expensive on the world). Not that she cares, but when I borrow it I need to pay for the fuel myself and each time I almost burst into tears when I see where my scarce money is heading. :?
I ...

Thanks for sharing this nice report with us, I really enjoyed reading it. I'm glad that you are sattisfied with United Airlines, now they just need to pull themselves out of bankruptcy, they have a product that deserves it.

I was amazed, impressed and shamed because I was a big defender from the ...

However - anyone fancy 10hrs on a BBJ to IAH? Personally I don't - even if it is all business class. Gimme upstairs in the 747 ahead of that anytime!

I agree with you, I also would prefer the B747 upper deck.

But Lufthansa has a similar product, Privatair operates A319's and Boeing 737 BBJ's in ...

A peek into the future, it looks nice. Thanks for sharing it with us!
