You'd think they would use Etihad given that they are the club sponsor

Manchester Utd flew from MAN to BKK on an SQ A380 (9V-SKZ I believe). Nice treat for the MAN spotters.


It was Liverpool that flew the SIA 380, Man Utd went with Atlas Air 747, Due back at MAN on 25th

Re: Boeing 797

It seems very confusing on what Boeing wants with its 797. All the videoes and pictures I have seen on this thing it appears that it looks just like a 767-200. Dont you think Boeing could have saved billions of dollars on this new aircraft and updated the 767-2 with a new wing, new 787 like engines...

Re: Boeing officially forms program office to flesh out 797 plans

Easy take a 767, Update the cabin and flightdeck. Give it new wings (787 style) and some Genx engines. Then forget the 787 ever came about. :-)

Re: Boeing may consider restarting 767 pax model production

I was discussing this a few days ago with a friend. Surely a 767 2.0 or Max will be cheaper than starting from scratch. Imagine the 767 with the GenX (748) Engines, redesigned wing i.e 787 style or with Scimitars. Boeing could easily update the flight deck and cabin. To me this would have been a bet...
