As an aviation fan, let's all celebrate Airbus and castigate Airbus for instigating the most-recent round of duopoly consolidation (RIP Bombardier and Embraer). And let us never forget that the decisions this forum lives on are not made by AvGeeks with cute grudges about designs, but by ruthless investors who would like nothing more than to see air travel constricted or abolished if it served their interests.

Yeah the video is cringy, but more so is your negativity.

Some posters on this forum could really learn something from that video...

Still, good to show it publicly.

Typical Airbus fanboy comment. Airbus did it first.
Seriously, a nice job by both. Extra points to Airbus though for having JL at the end. Write the book already, John!

Maybe because Boeing is an American company and that French is not an official language in the US??? Whereas Airbus is a European company and that French is one of the official language of Europe...

A number of people from both the "Boeing Fanboys" and "Airbus Fanboys" groups on this forum could learn a lot from both the Boeing and Airbus classy birthday videos towards each other.

Not going to google other models from A or B but if you can't appreciate the absolute brilliance of the people that somehow managed to put it all together and if you hate ANY of the plane brands then you are just a fanboi, not a aviation fan.

No doubt Boeing respects the rival that pushed them so hard they rushed out a plane that subsequently got grounded and is under investigation, but I doubt both companies are holding hands around the campfire, especially at the top level.

You're right, Revelation. You do not see him often, but when he appears then it is for the eternity. He was one of the crew members of the, now already legendary, A380 MSN 221 aircraft’s Nightlight to Venus in December 2016 …
