Seem to have seen a similar presentation in 1968 when the 747 came about ....
I remember they said : 3 B747 arriving at the same time it will be chaos .
look where we are now.....entering the US, 3 at a time, it is indeed chaos...

I was interested to see that Ship 1 is in an Airbus house livery. I was half expecting it to be half Air France and half SIA, just as Concorde 01 was AF on the port side and BA on t'other. Of course the main door is on the port side, so all of the photos showed the AF livery.

Funny, that..........

No plug in needed. It may take a few minutes for the video to start if you are on a slow connection. Real slow connection and I doubt the video will stream.

It works better if you download it first and save it to your HD. (right click and 'save target as')

It's very good and well worth the effort of capturing it!

Here's a quicker loading version.

I have the original higher quality version but it's too big to E-mail.

looked at the credits at the end of the film, but Boeing must have left their name off in error

This is what envy does to people...
I know, you lot are still in denial...

Why not start the Boeing Anonymous Association "Hello my name is 747FOCAL, and I have a problem... I'm a boiengaholic. I haven't spoke about how bad the A380 is since ....10 minutes ago"

Oh grow up!

I never said any Airbus product is bad. I just enjoy good humor and I poke fun at Boeing as well if you look around.

Maybe you could start up a "Frenchaholic" association....... "Hi, I am French and it's been about 10 minutes since I pissed somebody off." or "Hi, I am French. It's been 3 weeks since I last took a bath" something along those lines.
