a 747 jumbo jet
People have the idea that most of the freight coming into or going out of the country travels by jumbo jet, but it does not.
The comparison with jumbo jet accidents and the incidence of hazards from smoking is, once again, misleading.
We now have in common usage the term "jumbo jet".
Mention has been made of the new runway for the jumbo jet.
More often than not he is flying around in a jumbo jet somewhere.
For example, 275,000 jumbo jet movements would undoubtedly cause more disturbance than 275,000 small, turboprop aircraft.
With the arrival of the jumbo jet, and of supersonic flying, we urgently need an airport which can be approached from over the sea.
However, he should do both steadily and persistently, rather like bringing a jumbo jet down to the runway.
