    The E30 of the sky.




    Actually, maybe more the Volvo 240 of the sky. Old, slow, and legendary durability.

    Here's another neat one I saw getting loaded up at my old job. I wish I could remember what the fuselages being loaded were....

      that plane/helicopter getting loaded into the carrier looks like an Osprey.

        Price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. I repeat: price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. That's Vagiclean. We've got a customer down here with a full-on fallopian fungus. I'm baking a loaf of bread and I think it's sourdough.

        I thought the SR-71 top speed was still Classified....

              Isnt this for the 787 because it has the largest single fuselage piece?

IIRC they grew almost 2 feet in length after they were heated ( from air friction ).

                      That's cool. I also read somewhere they were originally going to use coal slurry for fuel. I don't know if JP7 is that.

                        That is what I thought too... Family in the Air Force use to tell me that the official numbers were to keep people from asking top speed so they used an impressive number... Conspiracy Thinkers
                        Those that think they are, are not as they really are...

                                No way that was 40m, more like 20 feet.
