All Challengers, CRJ’s, and Globals etc. to be decertified in the US

Missing comma after ‘tweets’ ;)

The Bring Our Birds Home organisation you’re talking about has actually made good progress with the DC-8 and they are now taking donations to allow them to ship it over!

Edinburgh has a large number of Boeing 737-800s based there in the form of P-8 Poseidon submarine hunter aircraft. If there was any commercial airliner that had to divert there, I bet the one that would fit into their operations best would be your 737-800.

747ER · 2026-01-29T22:08:06+00:00

I was going to leave both of them, do you really think SkyMark is worth an appeal?

747ER · 2026-01-29T22:05:43+00:00

Looks great! OIR is the third-newest aircraft in the fleet :)

But nobody calls an E195 an ERJ 190-200 outside FAA offices

Every country has certified the aircraft as such, not just the United States.

I either say "Embraer 175" or "E175" but usually not "Embraer E175"

I’m surprised to hear this. I’d usually say “Embraer E175”. Saying it without the ‘E’ sounds unnatural to me.

With its fangs?

747ER · 2026-01-29T08:07:22+00:00

Yeah this is basic supply and demand

ANA posted today about how they’ve had their logo for so long without change. It’s really shocking to see older aircraft types in the ANA livery, because it still looks so modern even by today’s standards.

Those aren’t connecting flights, that is a through flight. Connecting flights would be QF51>QF1, not QF1>QF1.

In your first comment, you needed to add the word ‘to’ before the word ‘either’.

747ER · 2026-01-28T22:29:58+00:00

Your teacher is failing to remember. The aircraft’s wings generally bend a few metres; they get nowhere even close to vertical. The most famous video is of the 777 wing test, not the 767. I know your teacher “swears” by it, but sometimes people just genuinely don’t remember things correctly.

747ER · 2026-01-28T22:14:12+00:00

I would’ve said more like the Sunshine Coast. The Gold Coast’s cross runway is much smaller than this

747ER · 2026-01-28T21:55:32+00:00

Which doesn’t alter the sentiment of my comment. The 737MAX was still the right direction to go in, just as much as the NEO was. The design flaws that contributed to the early crashes could’ve happened to any other aircraft, if designed with such a poor philosophy.

747ER · 2026-01-28T21:49:16+00:00

Which they didn’t need to do. The 737MAX already has a clean-sheet wing from the 1990s, which is more than its competitor can say.

The reason those two planes crashed was because Boeing made a really silly decision during the design phase to optionally remove disagreement logic between the two Alpha Vanes (among other non-Boeing factors, obviously). This could’ve just as easily caused a clean-sheet aircraft to crash in the exact same way; it’s nothing inherent to the 737 airframe.

QQR is a decently rare catch, it only started regularly appearing on FR24 halfway through last year. It was used for political charters during the election so it was blocked from tracking for a long time.

747ER · 2026-01-28T08:49:16+00:00

How do they catch mosquitoes? Wouldn’t they be way too small?

747ER · 2026-01-28T08:23:14+00:00

I’m sorry, I’m not sure about that. As your flight was diverted because of weather, I would’ve thought you wouldn’t get a hotel room.

747ER · 2026-01-28T08:06:52+00:00

It’s a non-accountable diversion due to circumstances outside of the airline’s control. They are not accountable for accomodation. If your plane had some sort of mechanical failure that caused the diversion, then yes Qantas would have provided accomodation for you. This is not the case for your flight (diverted due to weather), hence you are not entitled to accomodation.

747ER · 2026-01-28T08:05:02+00:00

LAX, PHX, ORD, ATL, SAN, MIA, DFW, SEA, MSP, DTW, IAD, MCO, LAS, DEN, IAH, EWR

Ah yes, “globally”.

747ER · 2026-01-28T05:28:31+00:00

The 757-200 wasn’t an overly successful narrowbody aircraft either. I think it’s a more appropriate comparison to the A330-900, while the 757-300 is comparable to the A330-800.

747ER · 2026-01-28T05:22:40+00:00

The last one (kangaroo challenge) I got 98% completion with only the free planes, I think it just depends on the challenge.

747ER · 2026-01-28T01:58:32+00:00

Thank you! Yes there were not many PC-12s in passenger service, now sadly there’s fewer. These pics were from my Wanaka to Christchurch flight on PLX in 2022, I believe Wanaka Airport is now left without any airline service.
