    Fellow members, today I'm very sad to say that Mr Joe Sutter, known to many as the Father of the 747 has passed away at the age of 95. Since I was child I have been fortunate to fly the 747 many times and even got an opportunity to visit the flightdeck once during cruise. But no matter how many times I have experienced the queen, she never ceases to amaze me.

    I think all of us here and aviation enthusiasts around the world will always remember the legacy he left behind, every time we see the 747 take to the skies.

    Thank you Mr Sutter for giving us such an amazing aircraft. May you Rest In Peace.

    Second Swiss CS100 is operational...looks like EIS issues are been sorted out

    Its not only South Asian problem; Same thing happened in Las Vegas during BA 777 fire as well. Its a human nature I believe.

    I saw some people are even suggesting to have a crew-controlled central lock for overhead bins; so they remain locked during taxi/take off, landing and emergency.

    Passengers on a British Airways flight that caught fire in Las Vegas are being ridiculed for taking hand luggage of off of the plane. Is it fair?
