Well done over to you Cheers Jase,  Love the little bit of friendly banter, so here goes from an aviation numbskull.  Boeing have a 747, a 787 and a 777. So the question is as follows: In Mach measurements to 0.01 of a mach, What are the similar cruise speeds for operational flexibility for each Boeing model? No I`m not that much of a buff, found it on a web browsing session.  Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Hi All, Sorry for delay in response, just had a few days of work/sleep/work with the odd meal thrown in.  The answer is as follows: 777 is 0.84 mach 787 is 0.85 mach 747 is 0.86 mach __________________ New question is multi part Who was the captain that flew the first round trip, non stop crossing of the Atlantic in September 1936? What type of plane did he use? What did he call the plane? What did he carry 30,000 of in the wings? Will leave with that one for now Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"
