The C-17 flight deck is rather old compared to what you'll see in a few years time, 16B:

Sweet!

Is this Boeing policy of 'unveiling' the 7E7 bit by bit a new idea? Not quite the same as unveiling an entire new aircraft - such as the A380!

A300/A310 aren't exactly state-of-the-art, but are very nice indeed as far as passengers are concerned as they have the same cross-section as the A330/340. And the demand for pre-owned A310s is such that as soon as they appear on the market, they're quickly snapped up by an eager buyer.

Boeing's Plastic Plane is a bold step; just how bold remains to be seen. But the nose looks nice!
