What I meant was that Boeing and Airbus announce a new plane then start designing it, then we see it 10 years later. With the G500, Guflstream announced it and then they're like "oh look, we have one right here!" Read more

I'd be willing to bet it's available for both. Read more

Yes they'll have the PW800 series engine from Pratt & Whitney. Read more

By 2017-18 Boeing will be rolling out 52 of these bad boys each month, so we're looking at just over 44 months (assuming no other planes are ordered, which of course won't happen). Read more

That's how all 737s have been made since the 1960s. When retracted, the wheels are pretty much flush with the rest of the fuselage and cause minimal drag. Read more

Without engines, I think about $100K. Read more

You're preaching to the choir here. I completely agree with you! Read more

I liked how you phrased that — "base model passenger." Read more

Then they're supposed to take their own temperature daily (yeah, right) and contact health authorities if they develop a fever. Read more

The barrel roll would have been considered "gentle" on this flight. I'll just say my original title was changed. ;-) Read more

The screenings are being done in cities that are gateways to the "hot zone" countries. There are no nonstop flights from DFW to Guinea, Liberia or Sierra Leone. Read more

From Nairobi (which is in Kenya) you'd go through either London, Amsterdam or Doha to fly nonstop to DFW. Read more
