Haven't watched it yet, but am about to.

PS: HELL YEAH, NECROPOST

BTW, I don't know if Admin visits this club anymore, but just in case - You might want to add "The Cockpit" OVAs, one of the finer works concerning aviation. Not very dynamic as it's pretty old, but still good.

@Maurox I´ll keep with the jets, but the only props aircraft for passenger service that I like is the japanese YS-11. The one who wins the prize for fully computerized aircraft is Airbus ;) .

When it comes to the big birds I guess I prefer props after all. Connie, Stratocruiser, the two bombers I mentioned earlier... The way the engines and systems need to be tended to seems similar to big spaceships in space operas (hence the "warship" comparison). In jets, most of that is gone since it is controlled by a central computer, and human is there more as a precaution than an actual controller. Still, I'd rather be in something more nimble ;)

Siddewing | Jun 5, 2012 7:47 AM

@Maurox That´s right! I find quite ironic a 109 to be engined by a Merlin, I prefer 100 times more the original too ^_^.

Well, actually I´m an airliner fan :D, They have its charm ^_^. I absolutely agree that nowadays, jetliners are like big "Flying Computers" an the enchantment of flying them is nearly lost. There is involvement of autopilot in landing as well (CAT2, CAT3 landings). But for me, the most special airliner will be Concorde, actually, Concorde wasn´t just an airliner, It was something completely different that changed the world.

Aaah yes, Buchons. Though it took me a few months to learn that name, but I remember that after watching the BoB I thought "OK, this kind of looks like the Messer, but what the hell is wrong with it's cooler intake and prop spinner? O_o". In my, personal opinion, it looks like an Emil, but with a double chin - I prefer the original ^_^'

If it's airshows then I guess we don't have it that bad then. At least we used to have two or three bigger airshows a year (And I don't really count the smaller ones, because the most interesting airplane you can find there is This little baby.) Though one of the larger ones was canceled this year, though I don't know if it was due to security (Our infamous slavic approach to servicing machines...) or just plain money.

Also, can't say I understand why people love the airliners so much. They are big, slow, unmaneuverable and mostly fly in straight lines/can be set on auto-pilot except for the takeoff and landing... Large bombers at least packed a punch (My personal made-up term for B-17 and B-29, "Air warships" or even cooler sounding Japanese version - 空戦艦 (kuusenkan) xD), but airliners? :P
