Lucifer - do you think that you are in some way superior to the rest of us?

I don't think there was anything wrong with the original question - it makes a perfectly valid point & I speak as an aviation consultant with over a decade's experience in market forecasting and airline economics. If it is ok for me what makes you so special? (But then if all you do is fly Tridents in FS2004 I'm not surprised)
No; nevertheless it is frustrating to read spotterish questions from people that clearly have no understanding of the basic technical side of aviation, nor are actually asking a question - it is simply a "I want to see this plane" question that resides on another website, or in the Spectators Balcony.

Clearly, the 777 cannot carry four engine without new wings and heavy structural modifcations, and clearly the 747-8 is the more efficient aircraft to carry that level of pax/payload.

I don't think people here expect everyone to know the ins and outs of every aspect of aviation, or people would not even be on here asking questions, but I object to weepy-eyed off-topic questions that are clearly not of a technical nature, but rather are derived from looking at aircraft for too long!


btw - what does Lucifer carry? Look it up on Wikipedia if you don't know what the trident is...
