The chase plane looks like a Lockheed P-80 "Shooting Star". Military type in early Korea Conflict (no, it wasn't a war ... the gubermint said so). Original design circa 1945.

Dang, those wings flex more than the B-52...

So did they did fix the wing root problem???

I know that when the wings were flexed for the first time, a spar or two let go... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Not a good match for TATA's FEA....

TATA, gotta love em'.... Indians taking American work and delivering crap.....

Over and over and over again....

Yup F-80/ T-34 / F-94 derivitive flying behind....

Dad flew those until they began augering in from the skies.. I saw a couple come crashing in as a kid and remember the Air Force wives running out of the homes to look at the fireball and smoke plumes..... All had a worried look on their faces....

I remember Mom convincing Dad to get outa fighters at that time......

A lot more new fangled than those prop-jobbies you used to fly in the Great War! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Tell me Boeing isn't going the way Airbus did. Them composite planes are like Bic lighters. When they're broke you throw them over your shoulder and buy a new one.

If they ever make a nickel on those 787s they've sold as of now (800+), I'll be amazed. That program is the most mis-managed clusterfuck in the history of Boeing. All the suits that made the mess are either still in place, kicked upstairs, or floating under a golden parachute......oh, and still looking to put the blame elsewhere.

I ain't gonna try. Airbus has show the way to disposable airplanes and the customers have responded ( it remains to be seen if the USAF will go for it). The days of building B52s or 707s that last for 50 (or more ) years are over.
I've been told that Scare Bus doesn't shot peen anything. That may mean something to some here.

BTW, properly maintianed, carbon fiber last forever....maybe longer.

I expected to see the wing tiplets, what about the vortex issues at the tips?
Flexiflyer!

JP: I hate Airbus planes, flown on a few, feel cheap and uncomfortable.

i saw it take off. man that thing is quiet once it gets in the air. and it must have some big hp. look at the size of the engines!

I stood inside the cowl and could not touch the top,I needed another 4 feet or more its very close to a 777 and thats 14feet inside

No winglets !not in the design ..as much as they flex you dont need winglets look at the right wing all the way out on the end ..ps there a 737under that wing you can just see the tail,,they just keep the wing from flapping like a bird and that saved fuel as well ..Boeing only started putting those on maybe 5 years back...737 has 6' winglets, 747 has 6' winglets go figure

I dont know if they(Airbus) shotpeen J.P ...none on this aircraft! all other Boeing aircraft wingskins and some of the double plus cords,spars did as well! as far as $ Its gonna take some years to make said nickel....first one going to All Nippon Airlines late 2010 lets hope

.Airbus is not composite Mr Jmill this is a first..hence making history

trying 737 composite next 737-1000

18feet of wing flex AFAIK

yes wing issue solved or there would have been no flight...sub contracted wingbox to body. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ...AKA gas tank! yes your setting on the tanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Chase plane is indeed a t-38 and the photo was taken by the other t-38 .....34 or 38 I think 38..could be wrong ..i will verify

Flex you ant seen nutt`n yet what tell she`s fully load with fuel and people with luggage in this photo she`s low on fuel with just some computer equipment inside


One more little side note ...remember the Boeing(old plane) 309 that crashed into Union Bay(Seattle) maybe 4-5 years back "ran out of fuel"....SAME PILOT (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) there was some jokes fly`n,,, no pun intended (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

The question ISN'T:
What kind of chase plane did they use?

The question IS:
WTF were they doing using a vintage jet trainer from the 50s?
