No ot yet but I’m on the X so we’ll see what happens when it picks back up.

More power to ya. I was in the 67 group for a minute and dealing with hand drawn engineering from the Carter administration is sometimes a bit challenging. But we’re delivering them and that’s what counts.

Longer, larger wingspan, can carry around the same number of people depending on class configuration, is cheaper for cargo with the -8. The list goes on.

Lots of people care about aviation history. And while I’m excited about the 777X, an airplane that will do everything and more a 47 can do and do it better, the 47 is an iconic airplane that defined the careers of thousands in the region. Its ending production is a big deal even if you don’t care about it.

The -9 is such a cool airplane, but I’m biased because I work on them. I also can’t wait until production re-starts.

What’s your stable? I have an E36 3/4/5 that doesn’t see much winter duty bc I can always take the Jeep.

But for years before we had two cars I took an E39 540i/6 with winter tires to the passes a dozen times a year for skiing.

Also fwiw I found that Michelin IceX ix3s offer like 95% the snow/ice performance or a blizzack and way better comfort/road noise/handling on cold dry roads.

RWD and blizzaks’ll do it just fine, too, viz your username.
