Jump to postI second that, Bader Models are amazing models!
Simply the BEST!
ILS landing is pretty easy in 2002, but 2004 I never hit the glideslope, even at 2000'.
I have over 400+ 1:400 models (Gemini; Dragon; Jet-X etc), but my biggest pride and joy are my 30 Bader Models in 1:200 scale.

Jump to postBader is NOT the Saudi Prince that was discussed, but he did have the largest collection back in 2000, since he held the Guinness Book of World Records back in 2000.
Question regarding the Boeing 767 rear landing gear?
Why does only the 767 have a rear landing gear angled differently that all other commercial jets (B757, B777, A300, A330, A340 etc).
Thanks!
I attended this show the last three years and I must say, each year it has been getting more disappointing.

Jump to postAny true aviation collectors, Bader Models will be having a World Exhibition Tour, starting October 1st, 2003.
On May 8th, you will see somthing special from Gulf Air, using the B763's.

My collection is well over 300+ consisting of Gemini, Dragon and Jet-X diecast models. They all seem to have there pro's and con's, but I prefer Dragon over Gemini. Dragon seems to have more "special-paint schemes" that Gemini, until recently, but overall, I believe Dragon has a more detailed diecas...
Jump to postToday, British Airways Concorde (BAW #2) aborted takeoff while rolling down 31L, at JFK. Funning thing, JFK was departing 13L & 13R and BAW wanted 31L, so then when there was a break in the traffic, they departed down 31L, into a tailwind, only to abort. Problem was reported that one of the engines ...

The Concorde most likely departs 31L, that's what they prefer. For a 31L departure, Cross Island Parkway, right next to the Cross Bay Bridge will provide great visual access.
