After 58 Years and Still looks Great - Compare the 1955 Chev with the 2014 Cruze

2014 Chev Cruze

The 1955 Chev you could seat six people.
Now 4 skinny Orientals have problems.They
had V-8 's that could get you up and going.
They had comfortable seats. We had a 1954
Plymouth that was just like like sitting in your
Easy-boy.You could drive for miles in that car
and never feel tired.You could change the plugs,
points,condenser. Change the oil and filter, do
     loads of stuff with very little mechanical knowledge. 
         I recall Ray helping install a back up light on that car.
Try doing any of those fixes on the new ones.
Now you need the instruction book to open 
the hood if you can understand the tech.who
wrote the book.
P.S. Did I forget the 1950's had head room. A guy 
my size over 6 ft. could easily slide into the 
Drivers seat without knocking his golf hat off,
and still have a couple of inches clearance.

No A380's For Air Canada

    Boeing's twin-engined Dreamliner will be a much smaller aircraft -- seating 200 to 300 passengers -- with the latest engines and materials, and upturned wingtip "winglets," for maximum efficiency. For the cost of a single Airbus A380 (about $250-$300 million), an airline could conceivably have two or three 787/7E7 Dreamliners, or more. Declining wages for airline pilots are likely to make such a multiple-plane scenario less costly than before.   Air Canada is targeting seven major Canadian cities as departure points for the long-range Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The first plane in the carrier’s order for 37 Dreamliners will arrive in the first quarter of 2014, followed by six more of the aircraft that year, said Ben Smith, Air Canada’s chief commercial officer. "Starting in the first quarter 2014, AirCanada expects to take delivery of our first of 37 Boeing 787 Dreamliners aircraft, comprised of (15) 787-8s and (22) 787-9s,"   The carrier will now expect six 78...

Canada and the F-35

-
Image
The Boeing X-32, left, and the Lockheed X-35 competed for the DoD contract to produce the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) in 1997. Both companies received 0 million grants to build prototypes. The new single-engine, Mach-1 capable aircraft needed to be stealthy and provide robust situational awareness to the pilot during attacks on ground targets and when fighting in air-to-air engagements. It also needed to meet the specifications of the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps as well as nation partners. Lockheed won the competition which would eventually produce the F-35 Lightning II.
