    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    this has been news for a while, and the last rumor i heard is that a russian firm is already working on a kit to convert pax 320s to freighters.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
