Boeing 787 Dreamliner

This is the airplane pursefight thread. The gun pursefight thread is two doors down.

I like how you got the 380 sitting there in the foreground like a hideous broken lawn ornament. Subtle!

Btw I have no dog in this fight, although I do think Mitsubishi makes the best airplanes, and Beech the worst. The Beechjet absolutely confounds me. Love? Hate? Don't know how to feel!

You have to love an airplane that sounds like a typewriter in the aft cabin.

I particularly like the maneuverability of the A6M2

Hey it was pretty tits for its time! Ask those poor suckers flying Brewster Buffalos and Polykarpov 15s! That said, I was always partial to the clip wing A6M3...

If you ever run over to Iwakini Japan, you can find a restored (statically) A6M. It sits in a hardened bunker/Hangar complete with chips in the concrete from WW2 attacks.

Boeing builds airplanes, Douglas builds character. Airbus builds transportation machines so third world countries can have airlines.
