Of EY and world records.........
Kudos to EY for getting into the GBR:D But having gone through the article over and over again am at a loss as to what exactly mean feat got them into the record books ? Maybe those in the know could explain what the record is all about :confused: Basically would like to know what criteria makes it a world record ............
P.S Am sure in GF we have set records of our own but have been "overlooked":} for an entry into this famous publication............ |
First of all how about telling us which record you are referring to:rolleyes:
|
Here is the link http://www.ameinfo.com/133278.html with the news clip of Etihad going into the Guinness Book of Records 2008.
|
Etihad Airways is a platinum sponsor of the Al Ain Aerobatic Show Captain Granger Narara, Etihad Airways' vice president flight operations, flew into the record books as he piloted an Etihad Airbus A330-200 in formation with a Sukhoi Su-26 and an Extra-300S, two stunt planes. |

Eid almost here... |
More to the point:
Why? :confused: |
Because Jimmy the Roo is a publicity slave, that's why
|
^^ Jimmy the Roo :}
GN must have had a good haircut in order to fly like that. |
Is there a world record for the best coiffured pilots!!!
We must win following Dickies memo !:} Eid Mubarak, Im off for my trim! |
congratultions to etihad. didn't they try also try to set a world record for flying toga power endurance on RR trent 700s followed by a heaviweght gliding record attempt? trendseters all the way.
|
What a load of tripe, I can't believe that the GBR would consider that a record worthy of printing...... how bloody obscure can you get:ugh::confused:
|
Who knows, the may be the GBWR Etihad Edition:rolleyes:
|
Now if the Etihad A330 would have done some rolls in unison with the Extra 300 (or at least one more roll than 'Tex' Johnson did in the 707), that would have been something!

My point exactly ! It's amazing what it takes to get into the GBWR these days. Remember when l was growing up l would marvel at some of the entries in this once august publication. Now it's as good reeading a British tabloid on a ride in the underground. Am sure if they went to ''Pet Pong" they would re-name it the "Guinness DVD of World Records" coz a book won't be able to handle all those reecords.:cool: (Can't say have been there myself, just heard rumours but neither can l deny my patronage of the place.......:oh:)
Nice one Desert Diner, "....first airline to call itself Etihad":D Gees this world is crawling with world records........... |
First airline to employ a VPO with a proven crash record, Hello Werner.
Heil Borchert. |
A Job Well Done...
I say congrats to Etihad and to all the pilots involved! I guess someone has to be in the GBWR. "Proven crash record????".....
