Pure speculation on my part but a rudder hard over has caused such a dive in the past. In theory all affected B737's should have been modified years ago.

Jump to postin a previous post on the first thread I alluded that the number mentioned as BB670 sounded like an Airbus access panel when in fact reversed as 670BB it is most likely the flaperon of a B777-200/300.

Jump to postI don't discount Richards view completely but rather choose to understand that the A380 currently carries a higher risk for investors due to the niche market and the uncertainty of a secondary market in 10-15 years.

Are these outright purchases or are they being financed by any lessors? It seems odd that the first delivery is for mid next year given the backlog. They must be coming from existing production slots.
