I like their uniform...for the gals, not the guys coz their ARE really dull... The logo is just a small one, I doubt we can even see it...maybe special livery highlighting the goodness of Malaysia ma...

Sorry, didn't see this... The series I posted are not the same, they are 2 separate days I think... Btw, can anyone recognise this aircraft? US government? From today's spotting session - very bad weather. Bleah.

Sorry for being uninformed, but to be a member of A.net, we have to pay membership? Even for posting in the forum? Just thought of asking...

Love the Hisbiscus tail shot, only if the background were more vivid! Some boring plantation

Emirates deal boosts Boeing sales Airlines are battling to get deals in the bag at Farnborough Emirates has announced plans to buy 10 Boeing 747-8 cargo planes, in a deal thought to be worth $3.3bn (£1.8bn). The move will be a blow to Boeing's rivals Airbus after Emirates earlier backed out of plans to buy the freight version of its troubled A380. The deal was struck at Farnborough, the world's biggest airshow, where manufacturers are vying for custom. Airbus landed a $1.7bn order from Libya's Afriqiyah Airways, for 12 of its smaller aircraft. In one of the first aviation deals done with the North African country since trade sanctions were lifted, the Tripoli-based firm made a non-binding commitment to nine A320s and three A330s. The Airbus parent firm, EADS, also signed a deal to build a training centre for pilots and maintenance in Libya. Other deals announced so far at the show include two orders worth $306m from Pegasus Aviation Finance Company won by Boeing, and a $1.1bn contract signed by BAE Systems with the British government for 12 Nimrod coastal patrol aircraft. Farnborough has also seen Airbus unveil plans for its "extra-wide" overhauled A350, which was redesigned after being outstripped in sales by Boeing's Dreamliner 787. Vietnam Airlines eyes purchase of 10 Boeing Dreamliners Hanoi - Vietnam Airlines is preparing plans to buy up to 10 Boeing A787 Dreamliners to ease a shortage of aircraft and continue its expansion, including introduction of direct flights to the United States, company officials said Tuesday. Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung gave the national airline the green light for the expansion - which would cost at least 1.8 billion dollars - on Monday, the prime minister's office confirmed. The decision also allows purchase of five smaller ATR72 planes. Nguyen Xuan Hien, Vietnam Airlines general director, said the new aircraft are necessary to meet demand rising by at least 12 per cent per year. The new planes would be put into operation from 2011-2015. 'The purchase of new planes must not only help us meet the rising demand, but also help us operate more efficiently,' Hien said by telephone. He added that the plan does not limit the airline to Boeing planes, and company officials would also study Airbus A350s before making the order. Vietnam Airlines is already forced to lease more than half its current fleet of 40 planes, and this year's planned introduction of direct flights to the US had to be postponed because of a shortage of planes. The airline already has ordered four Boeing 878s, airline officials said. Purchasing 10 more would allow it to open more international air routes, including direct ones to the US, according to Nguyen Ngoc Minh, the company vice-president. 'If we cannot buy the planes, then we have to lease them. But we prefer to purchase them,' Minh said Tuesday. 'At the moment, we are seriously short of planes. It is even too hard for us to hire planes. This is because of the shortage of planes in the world.' The plane shortage was recently exacerbated by a 2002 purchasing mistake that ordered medium-range engines for four long-range Boeing-777s. The mismatch meant that the planes could not fly to Europe or to the US and Vietnam Airlines was forced to lease more planes. Vietnam Airlines recently reported revenues of 519 million dollars for the first half of 2006, reaching the target of 11 per cent growth. The airline has set ambitious growth projections of 11 to 12 per cent annually through 2010. Boeing Gets Dreamliner, 787 Orders © 2006 The Associated Press SEATTLE — Aircraft maker Boeing Co. said Tuesday it received an order valued at $918 million from leasing company Pegasus Aviation Finance Co. for six 787 Dreamliners. The agreement also includes Blue Panorama of Italy, which was looking for an alternate financing tool for 787s it ordered in July 2004. Under the deal, Blue Panorama will transfer its orders for four 787-800s to Pegasus, which will then lease the planes to Blue Panorama. Pegasus also ordered two additional aircraft, but has not disclosed a leasing customer for the planes yet. The 787s will start being delivered in 2009. Boeing also signed a deal valued at about $987 million with leasing company Aviation Capital Group, a unit of Pacific LifeCorp., for 14 737-800s. Depending on market demand, Aviation Capital may substitute 737-700s for 737-800s in the future. Aviation Capital is also buying three 737-700s and three 737-800s from aircraft carrier Aeromexico and will lease them back to the company. The planes will start being delivered later this year. Total Dreamliner orders to date: 402 (362 firm, 40 pending)

..2012 ...forever la!

Sorry, what is a tailstrike ar?

My first reaction when read Atan was that, is he the Attan in MW!?! Thank God he is alright, and hope he recuperates well!

That's really nice actually...but then again, MH should get other basic stuff on their website working before they attempt this. I think it's a great tool, that way I can book myself in my fav Hibiscus livery!

I agree, I totally love the branding of the Swiss. Their website is top-notch, design wise!

That's one hella ugly looking monsta!
