There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Saw the Nightmare liner many times while it was in SoCal for systems and flight testing. At one point it was parked at KSBD .... I think that was about the time it just about went up in flames due to a system malfunction in the cockpit. Of course that is why you do these tests ... To weed out problems.
Overall the shape of the fuselage and wings is indeed one of the nicer ones for a new jet. But I still don't like the outsourcing that Boeing did in order to be able to compete with you know who.
And after all the harping on about the plastic airplanes from Europe by some of the Boeing brass it is a bit of humble pie that their first venture into building light had such a hard time staying structurally sound..especially the wing attachments and most recently the tail sections.
I know in time Boeing will get it right, and I do wish them good luck with it. For now though I will avoid flying one of those outside of the sim
