With more and more countries going into a lockdown this could be very well the last chances of getting home.
If a missile hits a plane with a full tank, don't you think that the plane would explode immediately? Or become a fireball? In that video no such thing is visible. Also, why should anyone record a video of the dark black sky without any purpose? In my opinion, it's definitely fake. No. This isn't H...
Jump to postI applaud the Iranian citizens who are getting these pictures and videos out on the internet for the world to see.

Jump to postThe question now is was it an accidental shoot down by a jittery air defense crew or was it intentional by some unknown individual? To be honest, I’m leaning toward the latter because I find it difficult to believe an air defense crew would be unable to differentiate between an aircraft that obviou...

Jump to postTrue. But on the other hand, would you post such a picture with your normal username etc? First thing I thought when I saw the picture was that the person posting that picture must be very brave, stupid, fake or not traceable.

Jump to postCan someone explain why a simple error of squawking 7500 while still boarding, connected to the gate with doors open leads to an 1,5 hour “hostage” situation?

1: I hope that pilot report is a hoax. 2: Why did the media jump the gun this badly for first reporting 0 deaths, later 13 and now 41? Just to be the first? I find this very discusting.

What were seeing if I read the new articles correctly is that the final MAX product MCAS system did not comply with the original specs that limited the MCAS system to 0.6 % nose down trim. There was also no redundancy built into the system which now Boeing will build in. The software and some hardw...
Jump to postThe bottom line to me is that IF this ET crash was caused by MCAS, there is NO EXCUSE for the pilots to have not been aware of what to do. I'm not a pilot and with all of the publicity since Lion Air, I know what to do. You'd think a MAX pilot would cutoff the automatic trim the second that the air...
Jump to postBlaming a plane is one thing, blaming the co-pilot based on his flying hours alone, who just died in a tradigy is something else.

The blue wasn't bad but maybe they should make it red as well and paint a big Austian on the bottom like Emirates does.
It is looking fresh and clean though, something that is popular, but maybe not with us Aviation geeks that rather see a colorfull livery.
Maybe they should ground one plane, take it appart and use its parts to keep the others flying.. Wait, did this happened before?
AI is just one airliner that needs to be avoided.

I don't know the reason.

R.I.P. to all who died and my condolences to families and friends.
If you get the chance to choose the safest exit that is. I think in most cases you will be glad just to reach the closest one.
Jump to postSaw it on the news today.
Is it normal that those props are spinning that hard after impact or should there be some sort of safety system that stops the prop after hitting the ground?
That is looking dangerous.
