Jump to postJust to clear a few things. NFPA is not a US Government Agency, it is a private association that writes recommendations, what they write has no force of law. It is up to local fire officials, notably the fire marshall to give ok on the construction and they take into account NFPA recommendations, ma...

Hi Tom,
It was a 707 refueller, the French AF has a few, it was in the movie when they are flying over the Med to go to Africa in a cannonball (see the movie) and again in formation flight approaching Paris.
maybe not a bad idea, leapfrog a generation in small aircraft design, create an aircraft that does what the 787 did to widebody, but do it for the large regional aircraft
