Is the Comet going to be grounded in AM? Or can I buy it without hesitation?

 I don't think it will be. If that was the case, we'd also have the DC-10 being grounded in 1977 (or whatever year AA 191 crashed). The game dosn't seem to take crashes into consideration, so I highly doubt we'll see anything like a mass grounding.

May 25th 1979......

I got evacuated from school,  I was in 3rd grade in Elk Grove Village.  We were getting out of school, and they rounded all of us kids up and took us to the Police/Fire Station and made our parents come and get us.  The aircraft actually went down in Des Plaines, just off the north end of O'Hare.  It was a big empty field and a mobile home park then.  Elk Grove Village is just east of there.


FWIW, the DC-6B was grounded in 1947 for a series of mysterious in-flight fires.  One of these was United 608.

real cost was something like 7 million pound, but 1950ies pounds versus 200x euro, dont know how that would add up, assuming the game deals prices in current euros

As in real life!  Early jets were anything but efficient.  4x turbojets burns lots of fuel.

I'm curious about the comet's performance... it has about 2 1/2 times better fuel economy than the Avro Jetliner (587 or so vs. 1581), but it's 110 mph slower. It also costs 18 mil compared to 34 mil for a Jetliner. Something's fishy - why is it like that?
