It makes no sense that russia owns Konigsburg/Kalingrad. Just before this war broke out putin sent a 75 kiloton LNG tanker there so they would have gas. AFAIK it is still there port.

Whisle all you like, the sun really does come up in the east, even if the Post reports on it. There is no, none, not one single bit of credible evidence that the fucking election was "stolen". Not one. The entire thing was watched by republican observers at every step (as well as democrats), they have not come up with even one verified case of "massive" fraud. In every case where those imbeciles forced a recount, they did the count and the numbers came out even worse for Trump.
This whole "stolen election" crap is beyond stupid.
Don't forget the possibility of foul play or pilot suicide/murder.
The 737 or any other Boeing/Airbus are all incredibly safe ways to travel. Order of magnitude safer than driving. When flown by a western country they are even safer.

Old Ukrainian. women give sunflower seeds to russian soldiers to put in their pocket. To mark their graves.
Bill D
In Ukraines fields the sunflowers blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Ukraines fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though sunflowers grow
In Ukraines fields.

It was only stolen from trump but the republicons that got elected on the same ballots that Biden won on are all good. A person would need to be somewhat challenged to find this argument plausible.

Well another Boeing 737-800 in the news. This flock-up belongs to ground crew. These sort of things happen to air carriers everywhere.....general public seldom sees pics of it.

I wonder if there are any scheduled U.S. major airlines using any 737 series for trans-Atlantic flights? Only thing I could find stated Aloha Airlines 'operated' 737s between Hawaii and the U.S. mainland...makes no mention of Europe. Might be more comfortable to be on a larger aircraft in first class.

How can anyone even consider getting on a 737 if they can be damaged by hitting a light pole? The horror.
Because they don't have a Ronnie Reagan 2 mph compliant bumper ?

Boeing announces they are saying Bye-Bye to Chicago.
Boeing says they will be re-locating Global Headquarters to Arlington, VA, Also will be building a R&D facility there.
No doubt another setback for Chicago.

More setbacks for Boeing....seems like they can't seem to move a couple programs forward. The 777X 5 years behind schedule (airfreight) and the 737 MAX 10.
$Billions in orders backlogged.
"Udvar-Hazy's warning came days after the head of Dublin-based lessor Avolon told a different Dublin event hosted by Airfinance Journal that Boeing had "lost its way" after a barrage of problems and may need new management"

But....how's all these new planes fit in with the new climate change BS?
It was said 2 years ago that "travel in the future will be limited" and people should get used to "holidays at home".
This was around all the lockdowns of course.
While a HUGE amount of private jets were still flying around....
Keep up Barbter, those are PRIVATE jets and they dont count.

Climate change and a whole lot of other issues will likely have great impact on commercial as well as military aviation. Both of the BIG players--Boeing and Airbus are in good part reliant on government spending so it's doubtful either will exit the aircraft business although no doubt commercial aviation is going to go through great changes. Boeing selling off it's commercial aircraft headquarters in Seattle(Renton?) a year or so ago and now announcing Global Headquarters will move to Virginia might signal a move away from commercial aviation with more emphasis on the military side of things.
Who knows...At one time it was said someone like Elon Musk could never break into automotive mass production and now Tesla is delivering a million or more cars a year. Maybe someone with a fresh ideas and working from a clean slate develop aircraft that will service future generations.
Possibly a renewed interest and $$commitment$$ to high speed rail? Should be a great future for those high tech engineer types along with more opportunity for foreign countries in aerospace manufacturing.

I had no idea that ronnie raygun had anything to do with safety bumpers that came into being in the mid 70's.

Even losing Boeing and the Bears moving out of the city to the suburbs the good news is Mayor Lightfoot has picked Bally's to open a casino. Should attract lots of visitors. Lots of good jobs.
