To quote Monty Python and the Holy Grail, "It's only a model..."
It's a HESA Saeqeh - an updated Iranian-built version of an F-5. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HESA_Saeq…
Very true! :) I was looking at the test plan last week, and one day was "Hot and Humid" testing - 90F, and 80% humidity IIRC. Knowing Florida, it was probably nicer in the hangar than outside...
The Airbus A350-900 MSN002 is currently in there until the 24th, I believe.
Yep, as someone living in Texas at the time with links to JSC people, NY definitely got the brunt of the abuse. Especially seeing as how Discovery's new home is only 200 miles away at the Smithsonian...
I've always liked the breadvan...
The average may be 150 seats, but the A320 is currently certified to 180 seats - this is just a single row extra, based on using slimmer seats, and relocating the galley and rear toilet. As a passenger, you won't notice any difference in pitch or legroom relative to the 180 configuration.
I'd tend to agree with you, but I should have anticipated that answer!
I guess I deserved that one :)
Ian, great to have you here. I'm a huge fan of the E-Type and DB7 (and similarly the XK8), and it seems to me that modern-day sportscar design has become rather fussy, concerned with all kinds of vents and creases everywhere. Do you think that the elegance of simplicity found in those designs will make a comeback…
Jackie,
The MTM Bimoto was always my favourite nutty TT. Two engines, one in the front, one in the back!

It's along the lines of this Renault-Renault...
Those girly men should just fit an Arnold Exhaust.
If you want a great interview with Sir Stirling, and one of the best BBC motorsport conversations in years, Hammond meets Moss is it.
Even better with the Aussie commentary.
It looks to me as though that car did EXACTLY what it should have. Massive destructive dissipation of the crash energy through the bodywork, while keeping the survival cell intact. I think that driver owes the engineers in Maranello a drink!
