#2 FRANCE reportedly wants to bring back the fast but gas-guzzling CONCORDE, including designs for bigger + faster; while Britain = AIRBUS is still having teething probs wid its new super-passenger, over-sized, concrete/paveport-hating, ADMITTEDLY ALSO GAS-GUZZLING, DESIGNS. Meanwhile, the Russians wanna higher-than-25% tsake in AIRBUS, prob to make certain that few iff anyone will buy their planes as oppos to ANTONOVS + ILYUSHINS. etc. In about = less than 5 yarns, the EU wants Americans to believe it will cap CO2 emissions by suppor myriad Euro-designed gas guzzlers???

#7 Good evening ladies and gentlemen. We are now at our midway point over the Atlantic are now out of fuel in order to comply with EU CO2 emission standards.We will now attempt to glide to our destination. But don't worry. We usually make it.

#8 A little short on credits again, I see, lol.
