Mr Crack,
Your are being silly, manual reversion is availabe in all Airbus and Boeing equipment, except you may have 4 engines instead of two in the A340/B747.
Many around would say that the 777 is not Boeings first FBW machine....correct to say its their first FBW commercial airliner.
Three global hawks were deployed from Edwards for Operation Iraqi Freedom, along with 4xC-17 loads of gear (100t) to the forward base, they did not operate missions out of mainland USA.
According to the
US Air Force "More than 50 people, some from Edwards and others from Beale, also deployed to pilot and maintain the Global Hawk at its forward-deployed location."
So the question is still out there...can you provide any verifiable evidence to support you claim that "Airbus Industries is subsidised by the French government" ?
Have another beer or three, as I cannot make sense of your comments.
So what will Air NZ buy......you seem to know everything already ....
