'It's a shame, really is, when we're seing xenophobic comments on this thread being allowed to stay and good professionals being banned just because they were expressing their opinion. I know this is Danny's train set but respect shouldn't be excluded.
I can imagine if this happened at farnborough with a BA plane most people here (if not the same ones present here) would start the classic "journo alert" mantra.'
If it was a BA plane at Farnborough I am sure people would make the same comments. No one is being xenophobic and I have been following the thread closely. I am amazed that every Portuguese poster has defaulted to the fact it was an amazing display. If you take the flag carrier factor away any sane professional pilot would say it was too close for comfort.
If I was a manager or shareholder in TAP I would not be best pleased to see such a display in the company's name.
