Reports today infer that the aircraft was intentionally flown into the ground.

Flight data from China Eastern jet points to intentional nosedive -WSJ
Flight data from a black box recovered from the China Eastern Airlines jet that crashed in March indicates someone in the cockpit intentionally crashed the plane, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with U.S. officials' preliminary assessment.
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....

There are more air-o-planes than just "Private Jets" sir.
I own qty (2) of them.
Have you tried attaching wings to any of them ?

In regards to the Boeing 747......production ends this year. Last one(s) off the line expected November 2022. So that is it for production. Of course lots still flying and will be for years to come.
""Average of two months per fresh airframe rolling off the assembly line. So (if nothing changes) six months from now -- i.e. early November -- the final airframe would be in the paint shop too.""
Wonder what Boeing will do with the 747 production facility at Paine Field?

All parked in my imagination. As to Ddougs two planes, he may or may not have them but posting pictures doesn't prove much. I can post pictures of a fleet of 747's but that doesn't mean that I own them. Just trying to make a point. Sorry that you couldn't see the sarcasm in my comment, even with the LOL.
You can also post pics of drilling machines but that doesnt mean that you own them.

Exactly. And if you choose to believe that I don't have 5 "drilling machines", pictures won't make any difference. And I forgot to include the Milwaukee magnetic drill press that I have so maybe I have 6 of them.

I was reading the other day that the recent plane crash in China is now being looked at as a deliberate act by the pilot/co-pilot !

Looks like Virginia could be the "go-to" destination for aviation-aerospace Global headquarters:

Yep, I think anyone with a decent defense business is realizing they need to be closer to Washington.Looks like Virginia could be the "go-to" destination for aviation-aerospace Global headquarters:

Lockheed is already in Bethesda, GD is in Reston, NG is in Falls Church, HII is in Newport News.

What was interesting about the Raytheon re-location was that is was reported they refused any financial incentives to move to Virginia. That sure is a new one for any corporation.
The defense department will make sure they have no reductions in profits.

One article mentions some kind of planned tax increase in Massachusetts as a contributing factor.
