I have looked at the ad time & again, I have googled it and asked my colleagues. The only things I can say for sure are that Boeing haven't clustered engines under a wing since the B52, the nose is all wrong for a 747 and the engine pods and fuel tanks/mach pods look very Russian. Everything else...

Assuming I'm not so lucky this time, and keeping in mind that now I have a laptop, two digital cameras, iPod and smart phone to keep charged, how do I...

There are a fair number of rec.aviation.* newsgroups (like announce, answers, questions, etc.) that have never had a single post as long as I've been around the 'net. In the first place, why don't they just go away? In the second place, it would be nice to have a couple of specialized newsgroups...
