Re: A400M may see some features axed

Definitely some politics at play, although I think the A400 will come good especially as there are no new C-17s available.

The Embraer KC-390 looks like a nice machine. Additional tanker capability too if we could get around the silly agreement we signed up for with the '330s. :whistle:

Re: Cranwell 31 Jan

Maybe more activity then?

Did anything replace the Dominies, or will everything be done by the x5 new jets?

Re: And the last C-17 goes to.....

Aid wouldn't be bad if it actually reached the causes it's intended. India has one of the most impoverished populations, however it's government like to spend their resources on other projects. As for future C-17s, we'll have to hope Donald sells/leases us some at a "tremendous" price from the Bone-...

Looks like they started out with two engines, then stuck a fuselage in as a last minute afterthought.

Cave into public pressure to host a show, cripple potential with high ticket prices, then perfect excuse to can it when it failed.

Each consortium will have their own machines as the Hawks will be phased out.

So much for the news that France/German were partnering on a new fighter.

The real question is why Mr. Fallon did not have his sanity assessed as the remarks were allegedly made towards Andrea Leadsom. ;)

Re: Anyone using u4/3 for airshows?

Bump. Having a quick gander through the board as I got an Olympus E-M10.

Impressed with it out in the field. Tried it for Blackpool show this year and got some decent results, although could have done with more reach (150-600mm equiv).
Overall, a nice lightweight system.
