Yes burnout, they are more popular than gas planes now, my P51 will do 140km/h no worries, some of the electric fan jets are 200km/h+

It seems Qantas have solved the engine difficulties with the A380:

Only 100 odd made and serving for less than a decade in front line service. If you flew one them you were in a select group indeed. It had a crew escape pod.....beat that with a stick LOL! Was eventualy killed off by that notoriously rational Secretery of Defense Rober S Mcnamarra....the guy that used to run Ford Motor Company. Still, he did push hard to replace it (at least in part) via the TFX program, which gave us that other favourite aircraft of aviation buffs....the FB-111. Sadly, as of the coming week it will be all over for that aircaft too. At least it had a 40+year run rather than the decade of the B-58. I fear aircraft like the JSF will never be quite as cool as the old tanks they will replace...

RIP F-111, Thanks for the 37 years of diligent service. and for of course the countless taxpayers dollars being burned up in such an awesome way with the many Dump and Burn's over the years.
F-111 Gone but never forgotten.

Spent some of the day out at Amberley attending the Pig Tales F111 farewell, here's some shots. Reposted from my photo thread, just incase you don't go over there.
Here's some of my shots from today out at the base. Here we go....   I'm upside down, bitches! aka "I was Inverted"              And finally, the precise moment of Australia no longer having a long range strike bomber that actually does the job....Oh well.
