“The Turkish Airlines Boeing 777 had departed Istanbul and landed at Antalya Airport when its right wing smashed into the pole, the New York Post reported Friday.” Does an airplane need a right wing anyway?

Why does the Turkish Airlines plane have a hole and only one wing? That’s nobody’s business but the Turks.

Has President Erdogan blamed the Jews for putting that pole there?
You know he wants to.

Gosh! Maybe they could paint a line on the tarmac for the pilot to follow.

The Pilot has promised to wear his ‘good glasses’ for his next flight and all flights after that one!

My car has side radar to let me know there is a car in my blind spots.
Maybe Boeing could use it..................

Cars have backup cameras. Maybe they could put wing tip cameras on planes.
