You know, I wouldn't admit to people that I'd seen Starship Troopers if I were you....

Are they going to leave the nose like that for when QF operate it into BKK??? Busters a naughty boy!

Ah yes, Starship Troopers..........one of my favourite movies.
Still relish the scene with female Intergalactic Marines in the co-ed showers.

Do you want to know more????????

Thumbs up

Ah yes... "Starship Troopers", tragic film but the book is one of the best "war" stories ever written.

Hands up who thinks the frogs will deliver the 380 on schedule...

Hands up who thinks any airline will take delivery of one actually kitted out with the bar area, shops, bowling alley, lap pool, etc etc that Airbus like to show in the glossy brochures...

Sultan of Brunei trading his 747 ?

No Lap-pool but the Sultan of Brunei had the Aibus people present him with an option for the polo ponies on the rear main deck & his suite on the upper deck.
Staff & vets etc forward main & the extensive baggage (plus his personal vehicle) in the hold.
Room to spare but they were trying to get a bettter assessment of the payload, to see what range they could wring out of it.
Airbus said it was going to be a little tight into the west coast but all of Europe was a breeze.
Sounds a gentleman's dream machine.

I see 'Starship Troopers 2' is out now, skipped the movies and went straight to video. Always a good sign

I dont see a resemblance between the two...but i'd say the bug has got a better chance of getting airborne.

Mmmm Denise....

Oops, sorry...oh yeah - big aren't they?

d'Oh, The plane I mean

As for the bug, well am SURE I have seen something not dissimilar to that mouth. Close up too - just the mouth on its own, no eyes or tentacles. But I can't for the life of me think where!

if you added eyes, got a photoshop of fins on it, and coloured it gray, it would look identical to a bottlenose dolphin......
