Hello I discovered to my dismay that the G1000 NXi PC Trainer for Diamond DA42NG from the Garmin Store can only be shipped to selected countries (these are USA, Canada, Puerto Rico, UK and Netherlands).

The 737 MAX should never have been in the first place. Should have developed a 757NG instead.

Re: What Are The Prospects Of Boeing’s 777-8?
The 777-8 is acutally a 777-200LR replacement, as it has significant more range than the 787-10.
Also, it acts as a direct competitor to the A350-900ULR.

As it seems, the new engines are too big for the 737 design. Boeing should consider making a quad out of it. Four small engines should fit easily underneath the wings.
Anyway, the 737 Max name is mud now.
Boeing should rename it to the 707 Max.
