I'm amazed that this event has generated so little traffic on this forum. Are people adopting a wait-and-see attitude?

There isn't really much to say until it's actually happened!

Well, I don´t think, that they come out with this announcement, after all the drawbacks of the past, without being quite sure about the definite timeline for the maiden flight......

Waiting in anticipation....

Yes you are right. Sorry´bout that.

Don't worry I am as eager as you to see this baby get off the ground.

Well, yes it´s about time, isn´t it?? http://www.wuerziworld.de/Smilies/lol/lol32.gif

To speculate a little bit http://www.wuerziworld.de/Smilies/mx/mx11.gif , I think that Boeing will not let Airbus get away with the last big maiden flight of the year........ http://www.wuerziworld.de/Smilies/mx/mx52.gif

No they can't afford that now, it will be a kick in the groin if they do.

Well, from the standpoint of aviation enthusiasts, let us hope the best for the now given timeline and for a successful flight, and let others handle the politics.....
