I think they are carbon ceramic.

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:

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!

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

Post a picture of the stick with the PTT button clearly highlighted :P

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

Hopefully they don't have any market capitalisation covenants..

Lucky I'm not a current shareholder, sold years ago.. although might have to buy in again soon :cool:

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.

I love reading those old tales, thanks for the links JB.

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!

I always love reading first hand accounts. Below is a link to one of your interviews that I found quite interesting. Episode 6: John Bartels & QF30 : Flight Podcast

What a horrible thing for your partner to die then being forced to save yourself from death.. glad she wasn't hurt.

I was an avid reader of Lex's blog, a real shame.

Interesting read on a 50/50 biofuel blend super hornet. Navy Tests Biofuel-Powered 'Green Hornet'

Maybe hydrogen will be our saviour?

No, because it's fulfilling its purpose (finding other AFF'ers). If you check in your carry on every so often then that would also be fine IMO. I suppose it's more when flying I see DYKWIA. Outside of flying people are probably unlikely to know much about FF and wouldn't give two thoughts...

More to the point, why do people attach their tags to carry on? Just makes you look like a wanker. Understandable if you sometimes check in your carry on but I've seen some on laptop cases and handbags...
