  • Hi Kent,

    I hope you'll fly 787 very soon ;-)

  • @w67 Me too! I'm going to try. It'll be 2014 at the earliest.

  • In absolute fairness to Airbus, this was just a movie theater in the shape of the A350 displaying some of the features that would be found in their XWB. The windows were simply painted on. We just had some fun with it.

    3. Because we kick ass

    4. Better gas mileage, technology for the pilots, comfy chairs, nicer toilets and hopefully more leg room.
