                    it's kind of old, but it would be cool to see one _real_ plane like that!! don't know if there can be a computer simulation made for that engine size!

                    Watched code never compiles.

                        I would hate to be anywhere around that engine when they throttled up and lost all the blades.

                          That is what Boeing marketing people came up with, admittedly in a hurry, in order to solve the current air traffic situation; the airplane is meant to suck up volcano ashes by flying straight in the no-go zone. Note how the two pilots are in separate cabins far apart to improve the probability of at least one of them seeing where they are going. :)

                                        And the engineer who snarfed that up got builtin redundancy immediately.

                                          Tire swing - check. Laser beams - check. Nubile, semi-clad, young ladies offering "hospitality" - check. Big bottles of booze and not those crappy little ones they serve, even in first class - check. We missed our calling in life there, Douggie - we should have become committee-based aeroplane designers and airline proprietors.
