In other news, MDDB Commercial Aircrafts Group has reorganized its products under a new product naming scheme. The new designators include the MDB-71, MDB-74, MDB-76, MDB-77, and MDB-E product lines, along with the MDB-17 military transport aircraft. Rumors abound that Airbus will be retaliating in the newly escalating product designation war, but details on their scheme are not yet publically available. An Avleak reporter did state that he'd seen staff unloading a large poster which appeared to depict what was formerly known as the A-380 product, with the letters "Personelle-38" at the bottom. But so far no confirmation of the new P-38 designation was available. -george william herbert [EMAIL PROTECTED]
