It was a busy first week of the year and one of my resolutions is to make sure to do on the web posts more consistently, so here’s a recap of week one of FlightBlogger on the Web:
Guggenheim cancels orders for two Boeing 747-8Fs – FlightGlobal
GAP reduced its order for the new jumbo freighter by two, with two remaining 747 aircraft on order.
Boeing received its 15th 787 centre fuselage on 5 January, marking the arrival of the last centre wing box requiring a full side-of-body modification and reinforcement that will be completed at the company’s Everett, Washington facility
While the most visible part of the 787 programme is centred on the start of flight-testing the largely composite twin-engined jetliner, Boeing continues to evolve the Dreamliner’s production system while tackling the challenges that lie ahead for the base of global suppliers.
FlightBlogger on Tumblr
Keeping with the ‘In Beta’ policy for FlightBlogger, I’ve added a new channel for content for the blog that I hope will really further enhance and streamline this site. I’ve tried for a while to pull together the disparate social media multimedia services into an integrated package while still making sure that this page is still for comprehensive written content. I’ve created a new page at Tumblr (http://flightblogger.tumblr.com) that allows me to record and share and upload audio, quick video, links, quotes, photos on the fly. Tumblr is designed for speed. It will be put into full effect during the Singapore Air Show early next month and we’ll see how it goes.
