I've had this name (and avatar) since ~2003 back when everyone was on GermanCarFans. Maybe it's time for an update. How do I change my username?

Don't do it my friend. You are who you are. And you are Porsche Guy, for more than 10 years.

Nothing more than the 777-300ER being a favorite passenger aircraft of mine. If the 747 is the most graceful modern airliner, then the 773ER is all muscle and athleticism, especially those massive GE90-115Bs...
Soon I'll have to change it to the 779

Yeah, the -300ER is one fine machine. Here is one of those GE90-115Bs with the backdrop of Alaska. I flew Cathay Pacific from Hong Kong to Chicago on one last week. 14 hours 11 minutes. Marvellous.

alright, I'll play this little game of yours...
Hoffmeister: in reference to the "hoffmeister kink" on the C-pillar of most BMWs
Fan: Indicating I'm a fond of BMWs. However, less so these days, especially with direction they are going, i.e. FWD, some of theit silly marketing, etc. etc. These days Porsche has been tugging at my heart strings more and more.

Human
You. The Road. Nothing else.
Human? To most english speaking folks it simply means to be human. Actually it's my surname, derived from the Germanic surname Humann (see Carl Humann Stadium, Germany). German immigrant Johann Humann landed in 1886 in South-Africa...bla-bla...
Awesome photo! I enjoyed my window seat, sitting behind the wing (middle of the aircraft) on both my flights to the UAE and Mauritius. Interesting when the wing-tip and wing start moving upwards the seat belt sign and "bing" comes on, thus anticipated turbulence. I teased my wife when I first realised this, telling her when the seat belt warning will appear (after I saw the wing moving upwards) she simply could not understand how I knew or how I could predict it!
One last thing, I for one like sleek and neat but the two A380's from Lufthansa and Air France parked at O.R. Thambo Intl. in JHB with their Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines looks dominating. When driving on the Albertina Sisulu highway past the airport they both sure looks nothing less than spectacular!

The A380 definitely is imposing due to its sheer size, but I'm not a fan of it's overall shape and looks. It definitely is the most pleasant flying experience I've had.
It needs a stretch to make it look good, but I'm not sure that is ever going to happen. The problem with huge aircraft like this is that they DO offer very low seat/mile costs, but only when they're full, and there are very few airlines who could regularly fill an A380. Even Air France have trouble filling the A380 in the slow winter months, and are putting it on the Paris to Miami route just to try and take as small a loss as possible. British Airways, based at the very airport the A380 was designed to help, London Heathrow, has only ordered 12 with no intention (at the moment) of ordering any more. And with increased separation minima on final approach, rather than increasing the capacity of slot controlled airports like Heathrow, it's actually reducing it.
