Check out:
this link, for 100% proof that Virgin have started downsizing their fleet. As a result, there may be reduction in both seat pitch and numbers of seats on their aircraft...

Any landing you can walk away from (or possibly disembark?) is a good one...

Nice vid......weird noise from the engines/motors.
Only seemed to use half the hall though.

Hmm... am I missing something? Surely that's on a wire or something.. otherwise how is it flying?

McCoy,
The joy of today's remote control model aircraft is that it's all wireless. Actually remote control's been around for awhile now.

It's using electric ducted fans alot cheaper than gas turbines.
Hereis a vid of one with 4 gas turbines.

Oh I see.... never seen them before. The last radio-controlled plane I saw had propellors...
Chuck- I meant a wire holding the plane up to the ceiling! (I didn't realise there were non-propellor radio-controlled aircraft these days..) Doh!
