I love the upholstery-- the color and shimmer really do make me think of clouds.

Overall it looks pretty nice. Thanks for posting the pics.

Very nice. I was hoping they would have done the 13 panels...

No carpet in bedroom makes SO much sense. Now a broom and dustmop can take care of the whole place! Thank you for posting the pics.

So what's the word on the new Internationals?

I like it. Can those window latches be used as a replacement on the 70's models? They look similar.

Notice the new styled curved folding steps, LED clearance lights, and new style LED tailights....

Looks like the new taillights have a new chrome bezel shape (without the shade as previous) and only 5 LEDs per oval lamp.

I know the LED clearance lights were brighter than the previous incandescents, but are these new LED taillights the same lumens or brightness too?

very cool, but the first thing that comes to my mind is "sticker shock". maybe i haven't been following the current prices of the newer airstreams, but 69K for a 28 footer?

i'm going to go home today and look at my torn apart flying cloud with a nice big happy smile on my face

Thanks for posting pics. Does FC have the skylight that seems to irritate many AS owners? It's a Safari with a different dress and name. Is it just as heavy as Safari 27FB, same specs? I was hoping to see a somewhat lighter-weight 27FB, even by a few hundred pounds would be an improvement.

Allen,

The Flying Cloud takes the place of the Safari...there will be no Safari in 09...so the 19, 23, 23 FB, 25FB, 27FB, and 28 will be available in the Flying Cloud.

Airhog you left the 20' out of your list of sizes. Did you just overlook it or is it being discontinued in 2009?
