Bonus Posted December 20, 2019 Share Can you remember the brands (Gemin, JC Wings, Herpa)? Mine are all 200 scale. The ones I could get to in storage were Gemini 200 and INFLIGHT 200. Bateleur1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted December 20, 2019 Share So we were meant to do our first A350 revenue flight last Saturday but SACAA never came to the party. Now we hoping it can happen on Sunday. Problem is, SACAA close today and only open again 6th Jan. They were here yesterday again so lets hope they issue us our certificates today. The Aircraft and crew are ready from our side and have been for a few days now. If they don't issue the certificates today, the first flight will only take place next year.

eddy Posted December 23, 2019 Share I see it is reported that Boeing has fired Dennis Muilenburg. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-50893490 "The board of directors decided that a change in leadership was necessary to restore confidence in the company moving forward as it works to repair relationships with regulators, customers, and all other stakeholders," Boeing's statement said.

Long Wheel Base Posted December 27, 2019 Share And......?The first commercial flight took place on the 24th. ZS-SDC flew SA323 to CPT and returned as SA336. For now it will operate only on that sector(and most probably only those flights every time, so if you want to fly on it and going between JNB and CPT, book those flight numbers and chances are you will be on the A350) as even although the A350 comes out of the factory with an ETOPS 180plus rating(highest ETOPS rating available) the SACAA say they want the aircraft to fly non ETOPS and build up ETOPS hours first. So basically SACAA are saying they know better than Airbus. So it will be a while till we can fly these aircraft on the routes we intend flying them on(JFK and FRA).

mazambaan Posted December 28, 2019 Share LWB; with the A350's operating commercially (at last), any idea how much more duel efficient they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazambaan Posted December 28, 2019 Share sorry; "fuel" not "duel"; should not operate heavy machinery just yet. Bonus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted December 28, 2019 Share LWB; with the A350's operating commercially (at last), any idea how much more duel efficient they are? Let me chip in here ... Here's an interesting article on that, although variants of the A350 are not on the chart https://theicct.org/blog/staff/size-matters-for-aircraft-fuel-efficiency Bateleur1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
