That fucker is huge! No way in hell am I ever getting on one willingly.

Amazingly huge! Reminds me of the new 007 movie that I just watched last night, awesome movie btw.

Wow bigger then a Jumbo jet. Nice hope that helps with travel time.

The History Channel did a nice segment on the plane and the facilities that manufactures it awhile back. Suprisingly, pieces of the plane are made in separate countries and then shipped to be assembled. I can't imagine seeing the fuselage or wings being transported with oversized tractor trailers.

Why?

I dislike flying the way it is, but that fucker down right scares the shit out of me. I think you'd have to have it full of hot nekkid red heads and asians to tempt me.

Im with allan on not liking flying at all.. but id rather get on a new plane than an old one. Kinda scares me that planes from the 70s are still in the air, even though they are maintained etc.

I like flying, its interesting to look out the window at everthing. It is safer than driving. I was even in a plane once when the engine shut down (loud boom, lots of vibration) and we slammed down about 10 feet back onto the runway. Oh well, I got a 2nd hot turkey and cheese sandwhich so I was happy :)

[A//// Guy]

Id be out of that plane and driving to wherever if that happened...

[AJ]

Yeah, I'd pull out my weiner so they would kick me off just to miss the flight.
