Jump to postIn real life would an airstrike even be feasible against such a heavily defended target surrounded by high mountains? Seems to me that a barrage of submarine and/or land based missles would do the job. That "defended target" did not have even one access road... go, figure... what do you w...

Is the scene where the F18s fly sideways under a tall bridge real or computer generated?

Jump to postMy vote goes for Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International (FLL), my hometown airport. The terminals are close to the main taxiways and runways so for one of the busier airports in the United States the taxi times for both departures and arrivals are minimal. Flew out of FLL on Azul a couple of months...
Jump to postThe approval is more related to the airline, not the aircraft. Airlines are approved by regulators (CASA in terms of QF) to conduct ETOPS, not specific aircraft tails. It is that regulatory approval which limits the times and routes they can operate. Yes this is true, but different aircraft types a...

Jump to postI was checking Flightaware for Alliamce,Texas and have noticed that Sun Country is running a flight from KORD to Alliance the last 3 evenings. Anyone happen to know what the purpose of these flights are?
Thank you
I am wondering if Russia would have backed down from invading Ukraine if NATO had established a strong military presence in Ukraine in 2021.
Jump to postA couple of times a year I fly on Azul Brazilian Airlines from FLL to Campinas, Brazil. When I tell people in the U.S. I fly on Azul to Brazil the vast majority have never heard of that airline.

Jump to postQueen Elizabeth is 95, and Charles is 73. I think at this point a "dry-run" of the handoff is definitely being rehearsed every few years, but I doubt Queen Elizabeth would ever abdicate.

Austin or Salt Lake City are my two favorite. OKC’s skyline is definitely my least favorite.
Not really that interested in what the US foreign office is suggesting their citizens do, to be honest. Now if a whole range of countries started doing the same, and that range was to include the EU, then it would be worthy of interest to someone this side of the pond. As for a war in Ukraine, it’s...

I get why they turned back. The UK would have potentially deported her and they'd have to pay to bring her back, or they'd be obligated to somehow get her back to the US if she continued her trip. Also, they couldn't risk the liability of her having COVID and spreading it to other passengers. You c...
Jump to postI get the feeling that Putin is not too fearful of economic sanctions at this point. Perhaps if the United States and its NATO allies had inserted ground troops and aircraft in Ukraine last year Russia would have backed off.
Jump to postThanks for the reply and great story. Love hearing that pilots would pick it up in a minute! They would enter Circle to Land and do prep during that time? Is this a unique approach for narrow-body aircraft alone? I am not a pilot, so I can't say for sure what the procedure would be for a change in ...

I was watching a show ( can't recall which one) about FedEx a number of years ago and a pilot that was interviewed mentioned that he and his fellow pilots tended to fly their planes a little more aggressively as compared to pilots who fly passengers.
Jump to postI fly in and out of Charlotte on AA a few times a year and each time I am there I expect long taxi times for both takeoff and landing.

Jump to postCould we be seeing Allegiant offering connecting flights down the road?
Jump to postI was in Orlando this weekend and
Universal and Disney World were insanely busy which was good to see.
Is at all common for aircraft to arrive at an incorrect gate due to air and/or ground crew error? I am thinking it might be a thing at larger/busier airports.

On the AA website I was looking at flights from SFO to Fort Lauderdale. One of my options is that I fly from SFO to PHX on AA and then transfer to Jet Blue for the second leg to FLL.
