Reef,

Tchiowa cleverly snipped


Son, no offense meant, but you're making a complete idiot out of
yourself in this thread.

You made a wrong statement (namely that all large Airbus parts are
produced in France).


Why don't you CITE that alleged statement of mine?


Here it is:

Someone posted:

"Any idea what this could have been? I thought all the big parts of
the 380 were being manufactured in Europe and Great Britain."

And you said: "In France."

Wrong. Now here are the facts:


Another clever snip by Tchiowa?

This was my ENTIRE POST:

RF In France.

RF An Airbus A380 had a test flight (with a crew of 78) that landed in

RF Kowloon (Hong Kong) HKG yesterday. It was front page news
RF here in Hong Kong. :=)

I was at the 59th floor lounge of the Hong Kong Conrad having a
little evening hors d'oeuvres when i responded to the post about
Airbus A380 in Arizona. I merely recalled what I read.

Fifteen minutes later, I saw a copy of the newspaper at the lounge,
and I added, with actual quotes from the NEWS.

RF It was front page headline "RUNWAY MONSTER World's biggest
RF passenger jet lands at Chek Lap Kok" but page 3 news in Sunday
RF Morning Post (South China publication).

RF "The aircraft - the third unit to roll off the production line in
RF Toulouse, France -- flew to Hong Kong on a stringent flight
RF testing routing that will see five of the planes circle the world
RF three times in 18 days before the A380's expected certification f
RF or commercial use next month."

That was when Borchert inserted his first piece of irrelevance,
two hours after my quotes above:

TB No. In Europe (Hamburg, Germany, for example).
--
TB Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

to which I responded:

RF What was YOUR source. about Hamburg?

RF It's unlikely to be in production in only one country. i know
RF of THAT one. The newspaper also reported that the
RF manufacturer is not expecting to "break even" until 420
RF of these GIANTS are completed.


The 3 posts of mine (cited above) were posts #5, #6, and #8,
with Thomas Borcerts post being #7, in the Google thread.

The NOISE makers, including the well-known Tchiowa who
had repeatedly made blunders in this group, came in much later.

I had said I couldn't care LESS which country manufactured
the parts, and even cited Iraq and Iran -- I was merely reporting
what I READ in the newspaper that day, while I was at the
city where the A380 landed, while the rest were speculating
about its presence in Arizona.

By now, 6 days later, even Tchiowa could find enough tidbits
from his spare time away from soc.culture.thai to make some
more noise by more creative snipping. :-)

Get a LIFE, all of you. I have already come back from Hong
Kong to the USA, had my first Thanksgiving dinner with
family members today, 300 miles from home, and will be
having a second after-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving dinner
tomorrow, while I am browsing through some of this garbage
in a hotel. :-)
