Shame on you Airbus! :nope: How could you? This only further reinforces my view that Boeing is the better company! :up:

Airbus anyday airbus rule


Did i forget to mention airbus rocks :D

JSLTIGER 04-13-06 04:33 PM

I prefer Boeing...

Pistols at dawn stand back to back take ten steps turn and fire. So who’s up for it we need one person to back Boeing and the other to back Airbus. What’s that Kapitan you will back Airbus. ;) :-j

Boeing is part of the aviation and global history, Airbus is arriviste, let them help fight (and win) a World War, explore lands never touched by man before, and deliver medication and general aid to isolated people, then we'll talk. Oops, apart from the World War, the exploration and pioneering age is over, so no credit for Airbus there, ever.

The only shame on Airbus is the shadow it casts upon the other, historical, European factories, that are forgotten, and die in the darkness, while Airbus gathers the spirit of the European people, holding all the glory alone.

Hello?! There would be no Airbus today is it wasn't for the European geniuses of the past, oh, I forgot, history has no value in Europe, as the European Constitution reminded us of, screw the past, in the name of building a better future, the man of the future, and the future is today, rise Airbus man!

I sure hope the president of the airline I am flying with next time uses better argument when buying new planes :P

This only further reinforces my view that Wikipedia is unreliable for often critical and precise information.

Huzzah! Wikipedia: The most overrated source on earth. I do not accept it as a reference in my students' papers.

I was thinking the same thing. What's to stop me going in and altering wikihistory :)

I find this incident rather amusing.

I have just come from Frankfurt airport into Heathrow and it is astounding how few Boeing aircraft there were at these two airports.Boeing have not done anything original with their family since the triple 7.They are crudely made compared to the precision engineering of an airbus.I have said it before Boeing=pontiac,Airbus=Ferrari.I have driven both families and it has got to be airbus everytime for me. :up:

You mean the upcoming 787 doesn't count? All indications are that this aircraft will be clearly superior to the current A330 as well as Airbus' supposed 787-fighter, the upcoming A350 (which will only be available 3 years after the 787 despite being an inferior offering). When combined with the triumph of the 777 over the A340 in the marketplace (154 777s were sold in 2005, compared with 15 A340s), and the razor thin margin between the two companies' overall sales in 2005, we'll probably see Boeing will most likely return to #1 in sales and deliveries by 2008

Looks like Airbus will soon be in the same boat Boeing was several years ago.

Airbus engineering is so precise, that the A380 recently failed the FAA's wing loading requirements, and it's wake vortex is much larger than it's engineers predicted, necessitating an operational separation distance so large that it might negate the advantages of the aircraft's size. :roll:

I'm not say Airbus has crap engineering compared to Boeing, but if I were, I'd be as wrong as someone who said the opposite.

I'd be careful of using that analogy: Ferraris are lightning fast and agile, but they are absurdly overpriced, and have crap reliability, so much so that most Ferarri owners need to hire a salary mechanic to take care of them. Pontiac (GM) is hardly a shining exemplar of reliability, I'd still bet on the reliability of a Pontiac over a Ferarri any day.

I was watching a tv programme last night this guy stunt flying the A320 and i mean he done some whacky stunts :o
