It is a pitty not more nato members have chosen this plane over the "late" A400.

In the end of keeping endlessly waiting the RAF had to order the C17 and they sure do not regret it.
Also other commonwealth countries like Canada and Australia chose the C17 and they to are marveled.
In the NATO there ...

The B787-9 is even nicer than the "8" and the incredible new ANZ livery topples it.

Incredible plane !

I have seen one in the late 60's on Wheelus air force base.

Thanks

Very nice, original and unusual pictures of planes in Brasil.

I just read in the "La Dernière Heure" that Brussels Airlines made a loss of 82 million euro in 2011.
I sincerely hope they won't follow the errors politicians made with Sabena.

Do they still have only one B737-300 ? And finally now two Bae146 ?

Why does this not affect the many Boeing 777-300/ER's which are very long as well.

Unlike Boeing, Airbus very often have the tendency to blame the customer and rarely put themselves in doubt.

Brussels Airlines should order several Boeing 787's before it is too late,

and some second-hand B777's (hard to find) for their reputation and

reliability. I already mentionned this several months ago in an other

thread.

Reasons about technical problems sn , no expansion , camair :

According to the following Luchtzak thread , second hand B777's are too large and too expensive
for an airline as Brussels :?:

Sorry guys, but isn't the point whether China Airlines will be 747-8 customer

All the speculation is off-topic.

Story not over yet.

It seems that the Government of Cameroon, under fressure from the International Monetary Fund (a UN agency) has asked SN Brussels to reconsider its offer to re-launch Camair with a fleet increased from 3 to 6 planes.

To me, the new c/s looks better on the B737

In contrary , to the difficulty of finding a used B777 , it is not very hard to
find a used A330-300, but the ever reoccuring PROBLEM is : PRICE.

Brussels beeing the Capital of Europe, Brussels Airlines should have some
kind of prestige. But they seem rather greedy, which does not pay-off in

Yeah, you're right, but it is and it will stay an ugly aircraft. I do prefer the Beluga, altough, the Boeing can be a more functional aircraft, I really don't know :roll:

I am sorry sn690, but taste is purely subjective. It is not an ugly plane, you find it an ugly plane. :x

It is very sad this forum is so often changing into a battle between people

beeing either in favor to Airbus or to Boeing, mostly favoring Airbus.

Why can't information just be given objectively, with the obvious personal
