What? Nobody wants the 'safer Quads'?? Many airlines, like Air Canada, Virgin Atlantic, LanChile, South African Airways, Cathay Pacific, Philippine Airlines, China Airlines, China Eastern, SriLankan, Lufthansa, SAS, etc, prefer A340 instead of B777 for long haul routes because A340 is of quad-engined design, so they are ETOPS-free, and hence can ...

Dude: Don't take this the wrong way, you maybe a nice person, but you are the biggest joke to this forum. I would looking forward to the day you drop topic like: quads(A340) is safer than twins(B777). And if stats means anything B777 is killing A340 on the sales book. Really weird nobody wants the ''safer Quads''for their passengers... MMMMMM

Lucasiu: Get your facts right! Air China is the national airline for China, it has less than 5 A340s in its fleet, for long haul flight, it uses B747-400, and B777-200. And to my knowledge those planes has been tranferred to XingJiang Airlines. I am living in Sydney, Air China used to use B747-400 for the route, but few years ago they have ...

Lucasiu: I only signed up this morning(sydney), and think you are full of s**t. 1), A country which has more oil, doesn't mean it is more advance. Have you ever been to China? have you ever set your feet in shanghai? If the answer is ''no'', then you should not make silly remarks like this. 2) China is not a poor, and backward country, you better ...

No, you're not crazy for building a flight stick. You're crazy beacuse you building a whole cockpit. I don't know the answer to your question but you can probably search online at Yahoo or Google to find it. Maybe try: F/A-18 flight stick F/A-18 flight stick specs fighter sticks fighter stick specs and any other details I hope this help ...

I agree. If I pay for business class I don't want to be in a middle seat.

Hello guys, I'm building a replica of an F/A-18 stick and throttle to use in a virtual cockpit (don't say I'm crazy because I'm building a stick myself... there are peeps building bridges with spaghetti, THOSE are crazy... :)) and I need some info about fighter jet sticks... Here they are... does anyone have an idea of what is the range of motion

What? It is not a suffer to seat a middle seat in business class?? If this is not a suffer, then why many airlines, like Virgin Atlantic, US Airways, Air Canada, LanChile, advertise their no middle seat business class service? This proves middle seat is NOT welcomed in business class. In fact Air Canada and Virgin Atlantic once ordered B777, but

There are not many airlines sold to other investors for only one unit of local currency, like US$1 for USA, GBP1 for UK, etc. I know British Airways bought Dan-Air London, a large British charter airline, in early 1990s for only GBP1. And if China Airlines of Taiwan ordered B777 to replace A340 on trans-Pacific routes like Taipei - New York, then
