This was extremely uneventful. If the media did this every time there was a go around for some secondary flight control ECAM followed by a declared emergency so they could get the long runway there would have to be a 24 hour news channel created to deal with it.

1. Written by a bot
2. There will be no press release so don’t hold your breath.
3. Much, much crazier stuff happens on a daily basis.

Ehehehe, those three plus two fake windows wink at me every time.

I mean they're not wrong and look better than blank white space. But they're also the airplane-equivalent of putting anime vinyls on a Scion.

That is AI generated. This is not an airplane

Pretty convincing but I see there are no Grimes lights. Nice try

The newer Airbii aren’t lit like a 1944 B17!

Fun fact:

Pilot bunk is in the ceiling behind the cockpit over the forward galley. If you pop the escape hatch, which has happened, you’ll fall onto Martha feexin’ herself a tea.

So that is really sweet but one question or observation, with all the acres of screen up there why the same flight instruments from an A320? Is that just them trying to keep commonality or are they just being stubborn? I just ask because I'm comparing to the Falcon EASy flight deck vs the '67 Impala with an iPad glued to the dash that I fly now.

Also those Rodger Rabbit hole windows are nothing new, Beechcraft did the same with the Premier 1A back in the day. Looks way better on your whip though.
