Jump to postWhat an absorbing/interesting programme, just my type of TV! It's not often you see a 747 stripped down to the bare bones. What we saw were the men and women who keep us safe in the air and get us from A to B. Great stuff.

Jump to postShocking thing to see on a football field, you always worry when you see a player fall to the ground when it's clearly not a football related injury. Hope he pulls through the next 24 hours.

Jump to postThanks for posting a KU report, it reminds me of when i flew KU 777's LHR-JFK-LHR years ago, (9K-AOB/AOA).

Jump to postCongratulations to Spain, they are worthy winners and easily the best team on the planet. Totally disappointed with the Dutch and their mentality, they've gone from an attacking, free flowing team to a team that plays like a lower league English side.

Jump to postThe fact that Germany went on and smashed us 4-1 makes Lampard's blatant goal irrelevant, yeah it was a shocking piece of refereeing but England were well and truly outplayed.

Jump to postDisappointed with the 1-1 score, it should have ended 1-0 to England at the least had it not been for a horrific goalkeeping error. The lack of a top class goalie and deadly individual errors is the biggest danger to Englands chances. The USA are a decent footballing side but hardly a superpower. Be...

Jump to post"Executibe Decision" is my favourite, it's classic Hollywood with all the cliches, the tension and drama really does get to you when you first watch it. Not sure if a F-117 can hook up with a 747 in mid-flight in real life though.

Jump to postVery good trip report, i clicked on your report curious to read what a ultra long haul 16 hour flight would be like.

You have to look at it from the players side, while Drogba's behaviour was way over the top, it really is understandable, it's not as if there was isolated penalty claim, there were several. Football is a high pressure, emotional game, and sometimes it's hard to control your feelings. The Norwegian ...
