The record so far is a plane loaded with passengers on the tarmac for 20 hours. Unbelievable.

It’s always the right wing that’s the problem!

I avoid New York airports, but after an incident in Charlotte years ago, I’ve decided it’s worth a premium to avoid all connections when possible.

A friend told me they had to divert an A-380 to Stewart Airport in Newburgh last night.

Kuwait and China, huh? A pilot once told me he and other pilots watch videos of planes from other countries land and take off amazed at how bad they do it. Doesn’t happen much with American pilots.

Personally, I try and avoid routing through Leftist cities. The absence of responsible hiring practices and supervision are noticeable. When people mess up, such as the person towing the Chinese 777 in this incident, there are typically no consequences for them.

When there is a lack of accountability there is a lack of capability.

Unfortunately, even though the plane was being towed China will likely re-assign the pilots.

aircrafts

If I'm not mistaken, the plural of "aircraft" is... "aircraft."

When the wind is blowing right, many of the Asian bound flights leaving JFK travel over my house. I follow them with FlightTracker. They are about 20,000 feet and climbing at the point they are over my Southern Connecticut home. Probably taking the route that puts them right under the Arctic Circle before heading south again. Anyway, it’s always a majestic sight as these are gigantic planes. Amazing how they can travel halfway around the world on a tank of gas.

Wow! Did the guy in Tranna who towed the Sunwing plane into the WestJet plane, quickly move to NYC? Two similar ground accidents in less than 24 hours.

Just to be annoying, because I’m annoyed. The plural of aircraft is aircraft. Not aircrafts.

And why is one plane towed into another on the ground at walking speed even a story at all?

And I have co-workers that scoff at me because I only do car trips these days. I’ll send them a link to this story and the one where Atlanta-Hartsfield had a power outage for 18 hours.
