My suggestion: keep planespotting and make, instead of latest news, 1 general aviation forum in which you can put everything? Yes, perhaps, but don't call it General Aviation.

Re: KC-135 & Afriqiyah Airways

Afriqiyah Airways "could use" an A310-200 on its service to BRU on 15/16 of August. Check the web for latest info. That's right, Skystef. The flight makes an intermediate stop in CDG (flight 8U 900 to CDG is merged with flight 8U 920 to BRU), and to accommodate these additional passengers...

My opinion on the 777? Here it is, Mr 777. I flew the 777 once, on a domestic stretch of Thai between Bangkok and Phuket. In Economy (I was on holidays!). My impression? Inside it looked exactly like the 747 (in the main cabin): same 3-4-3 seating, same feeling of power (massive engines) and space (...
