Just found this article about airspeed indicator failures in Airbus A330s.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

NOOO! Don't remind me of it!

*Points to Personal Text*

But really, if they just fix it ASAP, not slack off like AF which (may) have caused GZCP to crash, it may not cause any trouble.. we don't want another AF447..

Well I try to make mine go so fast it breaks the sound barrier and hopefully the goal is make all my passengers sick.
What about you?

Usually my airbus says about 100 knots but it seems like were going alot faster? Huh
