Haha ya I loved planes ever since I was small... and work with this now... not directly on the aircraft but in-directly... Supporting testin of initial stages of software development for ummm like the planes Computer units... you know like our cars ECU...
Eh... Airbus... *sigh* I'll give credit when credit is due for them having the largest commercial plane... we'll see how it does when in service...

Cool~ You are working on something u like. I guess plane's computer is much complicated then ECU. Hopefully dont have problems like the BMW ECU.

Planes have alot more problems than we think, we just don't know about it that's all. But I don't want to know when I am on one.

That plane was suppose to land by Long Beach airport next to where I work... there were TONS of ambulances and fire trucks there that day... they blocked off the all the streets leading into our parking lot as it faces the back side of the runway and they opened the back gate into the runway and everyone was waiting for that palne to land... they then cahnged it to LAX since it had a longer runway and more run off area.
A380? all it is is big.. its like the Hummer H2 and thats it...

Okay so a little problem with the design, but you can't say their design is not good. The fly by wire system is now the norm of the industry.

Hey mic, I have read the article in C&D about the tire and the Good Year Eagle F1 came out top. So how's your tire are they good? My BP RE050 has the least treadwear in all of the tire they tested and didn't even make top five :thumbsdown: But it is the second most expensive tire of the pack. Maybe I should consider Good Year when my tire is due, which would be soon.
How much did you got your Good Year for?

dont worry the plane will stay in the air... well for the C-17 theres more redundancy than ever so half the planes electronics can go ka-put and it'll fly just like normal with all functions still working.
As for problems... depends what you define them as... I can tell you pilots are just as bad as BMW owners... very picky.
That letter in the iDrive is too big. doesnt match... the HUD speedo is off by 1 mph...
