Thanks for the information on the Dutch-Danish mix-up. However, The MD-11
is worthy of the classic Flight collection as is the Il-62M. (Think of a DC-9
with a second set of engines fused on the sides of the first two (at the rear
of the fuselage) That is an Il-62, one of the better planes made by the Soviet
Union.
John, Must you be so flamin' pessimistic? On the promise that will rescue
American LEGO sales, you have to figure that they'll eventually see a good
thing. My 3rd & 4th grade designs come out better than these "Town Jr." sets
any day of the week, (Yours too, I'm sure) so you must see my point (if you're
not just bein' gloomy over the large request that at least 10K AFOLs
probably agree with...).
