Airlines To Order Nearly 30,000 New Planes In Next 20 years

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'B')oeing Co. forecast on June 13 that airlines worldwide would take delivery of nearly 30,000 new jets in the next two decades amid surging demand for air travel. The company's annual report forecast that the worldwide aviation sector would deliver 28,600 commercial aircraft over the next 20 years worth a total $2.800 trillion. The bullish outlook came despite growing concern about the impact of airline pollution and EU plans to impose carbon dioxide emissions quotas on the industry from 2011.

These contracts and orders are set up years ahead of time. And they will order them.

Aren't a good number of crashed civilizations in posession of a pyramid or two, or like construction, half-completed and now slowly weathering in the sun and wind?

Perhaps a long time from now a group of future people can fight over what were these crazy things for. They can have all kinds of conspiracy theories

The other replies. 'No way you freaking retard There is no such fuel that holds enough energy to even make that thing roll. They were for religious ceremonies and pulled around by thousands of slaves'
