Was anyone else in JFK last night when this ridiculous aircraft came in and screwed up the entire airport at JFK, worse than it usually is? It came in and landed on 22L and then stayed there for the pilots to do a press conference., thus closing the landing runway even longer. This "Green" aircraft cost the airlines God knows how much money last night in fuel costs. Multiple gate returns and go arounds caused by the reduction to the one runway. They think this plane will be the future, god I hope not. As wide as a 747 wingspan, 30,000solar cells, and it can only do 45mph. What a waste of money and people's time. Rant over
