think on these long haul flight routes it will be a good
thing-HOWEVER-personally I'm not too keen to get on anything made by Airbus. I
shudder every time I have to get on one.They seem to have a habit of falling
out of the sky. Isn't there some kind of joke amongst Airbus pilots? Something
along the lines of-'why did it do that?'</span></font><font color=black><span

Down here, there has been some political debate over it lately, along the
lines of, overpriced, behind schedule and yesterdays technology.....all good
stuff really, cause when we run out of oil shortly, no one will be able to
afford air travel or fill their car with gasoline. I doubt the JSF will be much
good to anyone either sitting on the tarmac ( unless its powered by anti-matter
