A visitor from United States posted Thu August 4, 2011: Oops! I said Airbus when I should have said De Havilland. At any rate, it would be awesome to see an updated economical example of this bird back in service.
A visitor from - posted Wed July 13, 2011: Perfect photo. It almost looks like a bird from some 1950's science fiction film. Wait a minuet, I have an idea! Hey Airbus, why don't you guys redesign the empennage and windows, upgrade everything else, and put this wonderful bird back into the air?
A visitor from - posted Fri July 1, 2011: 60 years old and still futuristic! *****
A visitor from Canada posted Fri May 20, 2011: No disrespect to the other photos, but this is the real #1 photo of the day! At least in my opinion. Thanks for allowing us a look back at a historic part of aviation. ***** Wayne C.

A visitor from Australia posted Thu May 19, 2011: Quite simply breathtaking.
A visitor from United States posted Thu May 19, 2011: Wow...Simply priceless! Many thanks for sharing. TheFlyingCroc
A visitor from South Africa posted Thu May 19, 2011: Such a stunning photograph, a fitting predecessor to today's group fly-bys of 346s and 744s!
A visitor from - posted Thu May 19, 2011: Splendid historical shot! And I, for one, agree - the Comet was a very aesthetically pleasing design. As tragic as the Comet's early life was, the accidents, and the investigations thereof, provided valuable insight into the insidious problem of metal fatigue. Much of the stellar safety record that modern civil aviation enjoys is a legacy of the Comet.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu May 19, 2011: Simply Breathtaking. Three beautiful sisters out for a soar.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu May 19, 2011: What a photo! Thank you very much for sharing this absolutely fantastic sight with us. I can't get my eyes off these planes while noticing many differences between the three. The clouds form a divine and adequate background for these Comets.
