To Fly

British Airways commercial, the long version.



If you love airplanes, this should put a lump in your throat. And you probably can identify every one of those airplanes.

  1. …Not a single piece of EADS metal in that commercial, unless you mark down Concorde on pedigree.

  3. Ben, I suspect that the commercial used airplanes that are distinctive, though Miss Kenya was probably standing in for a DH-4.

    VC-10s, DC-3s, 747s and Concordes are all distinctive airplanes. One EADS airplane pretty much looks like another, other than maybe the A340 and A380, which BA doesn't fly.
