AF had never sent any 77W to Papeete, but only 772 and A359 like you said The name they give to their aircrafts is random and has nothing to do with the aircraft’s destination itself. However, some times, it can be precisely chosen on a specific aircraft in order to commemorate something. As I...

Beautiful aircraft! I hope we will get a F-GKXxx from NG

Apparently, they changed it’s name before transferring it to the Caribbean short haul routes between Guyana, Guadeloupe and Miami.

I’m planning to do that 👍

Regarding the inside of the engines, I made the following template and glue each one inside one engine: While I do this for my A350s, I don’t recommend to glue anything with having practiced before (on broken models for exemple), or you could make an irreparable mistake!

The cone at the back of the XWB can turn blue (very common on RR Trent series). If it is the case on the specific registration of a model (in real life), I will paint this part in this blue shade with a thin marker pen.

They only post one model yet?

Beautiful aircraft! Looks better than on NG’s pictures 👌

Are the engines still the XWB-97 or did they make a new variant for the A350-1000ULR?

Is the AV400 better or worse than NG (especially the cockpit section)?

It depends. Regarding smaller details (like a removed sticker, windows layout modification or some trace of jetways, gone painting on fuselage and wings…) yes, I will usually apply these changes when they happen. For exemple, I am planing to get the AV400 F-GZNE. From the preview picture, I...

Funny that I did exactly the same with my NG F-HUVJ 🤣 Also, do you have the AV400 version, in order to compare, or just NG?

Thanks to the reactive pilots and the relatively low speed at the time of abortion (59 knots GS according to Flightradar24). It is unbelievable that so many incidents like this can happen nowadays 😡 (especially in the US recently…). You can’t be two pilots (with at leats over 1500h for the FO)...

And not only the Barcode is timeless, but also the logo itself: It is perfect since 2009 and should never get replaced! I’m glad AF kept it for the 2021 livery, 12 years later (which is, in my opinion, the best livery update among every airlines since 2010):Hopefully Air France will forever...

100% and I hope they never change it!
