There are things that the GE-90 can do for a man that no woman can.
I could make some "pounds of thrust" jokes but I'd so get my ass kicked... :)
This is interesting news. If UPS drops the A380F, Airbus is in huge, huge trouble. If Fedex isn't interested in the 747-8F, maybe Big Brown might be. I know they have or had 747-200 freighters (though we never had anything bigger than an MD-11 come into CAE when I used to drive by there, and that only once during a Christmas rush) so maybe it would make sense for them to go to the new model, where it doesn't for Fedex. }:-)4
I checked the GE-90 engine out, what with your laudatory remarks. 115,000 pounds of thrust?!
Jeez, I am impressed!
