    JS1 as seat assignment on boarding pass?

    First time I've heard of this post 9/11. I'd love to get JS1..but they wouldn't dare let an aviation fan like me on the flight deck..! :lol:

    US Navy 737s with bite in Australia

    Looks mean, nice stuff. The good thing about the SLAM-ER is that it is capable of attacking both land and sea targets. Would love to see Aus get these!

    Where to buy Qantas or Air NZ model planes in Sydney or Auckland airports?

    I got my Qantas 737-800 for about $50 postage included on Ebay.

    A flight I'm not willing to take...

    Absolutely incredible videos. I could imagine this being used in a James Bond movie.. or perhaps real special forces dudes already use them >_>

    Hackers could bring down new 787 .

    All computers are vulnerable to an extent. Unless the would-be hacker decides to rummage around the cabin pulling out wires in the galley, I don't see the issue. Keeping IFE on an isolated network is always a wise move though.

    While there might be some truth to that statement, if you don't know how to exactly enter the ILS data (notwithstanding the complex nav steps before receiving vectors to actually intercept the localiser & glidescope) I think most people including myself would be in a lot of poo. I do...

    It is my understanding that PTT on the 380 is the front trigger on the stick... the red button is AP aka potential failure :P

    As JB has articulated several times, it would be very tricky for an inexperienced person to have a "crack".. If there was no one else experienced on the plane then I'd go for it..hopefully there is though!
