Nice research, Lou. Those GE shots look really good. I always forget about how powerful that stuff already is. Gives an impression without having been there and puts it to scale. So the big ones have to rely on the S-curve, no matter what, huh?

Ahmet, we are still at Paro. But we can't shock you with approaches, so get your P3D running and join us again, ok?  :)

By the way, I really recommend a read on Bhutan. It's interesting and somehow funny how their air travel developed. The small prop planes and later some jets, than a medium airliner and how much money that was for the small country. Very nice read on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druk_Air

The other nice read was already posted. The Boeing test and demonstration flights with a bit of performance data. http://www.boeing.com/commercial/aeromagazine/aero_23/737-700Bhutan.pdf They flew the stuff with a single engine setup, something I can't even imagine in the 737-200.  :o
