You know I think they could save the 747 if they developed a two engine model and jacked the gears up a bit to increase the ground clearance

It always surprises me how much some of you know about the current fleet of planes, the different models, and issues facing each model as well as trends in the market and who’s buying what. I have no idea about any of that shite. I mean, I know a 747 from a DC-10 but that’s about it.
