1. Yes

2. Favourite: A320-200 IAE

 

It doesn't have to be FSX related. If you are a flier of one of these tell us why you like her please!

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

I worked for Boeing... but had some friends who did work at Airbus, and came over.

 

if you like the Bus, enjoy... :)

I've been working on narrow body 320 and 737(CL&NG) families for the last 5.5 years. If you ask for RL I can tell you that your favourite has a huge disadvantage exactly because of it's crappy engine. The V2500 is junk. From all the types I'm licensed (319/320/321 (both CFM and IAE), 737CL and 737NG) I prefer the NG the most from all points of view - more reliable, flies better, flies further and most important - it's metal, not plastic :D

 

On the wide body scene AIB though has some strong players. I don't have 1st hand experience on them but I recognize the 330 as a very good piece of engineering.

if it ain't BOEING I ain't going.

 

Only because Airbus have standards to maintain, wouldn't want any of those grubby Boeing types cluttering up our lovely pristine planes....

not really. If I had to choose between an Airbus and a Boeing for my starting company, I'd never choose Boeing. Take a look at Lufthansa.

 

Lets not turn this thread into war. I just wanted to know who among us shares Airbus passion, why do they think it's good. This is not about dick measurement.
