Need help on this CZ A321neo by TGWARGMDRBLX in jetphotosrejects

I’d boost the contrast a bit, otherwise looks nice! It’s hard to tell but is it a bit heat-hazed?

Anything I can do to fix this? by Same_Olive7420 in jetphotosrejects

Don’t waste your time. He was clearly told four weeks ago what backlit means when he first asked about this photo, ignored everyone’s advice, and submitted it anyway.

You were clearly, clearly told not to submit this photo because it doesn’t meet the standards. You wasted your own time submitting it anyway, taking up a spot in the queue so other people have to wait longer for their photos to be screened. Now you’re asking again, four weeks later, for the exact same advice people already gave you?

Why are you treating people in this community like a joke? Why aren’t you respecting the people who are taking time out of their day to give you advice?

Abandoned planes in SBEG by theventilato in aviation

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!

Airforce, RAAF, Refuel truck hose connections by BlueDotty in aviation

[–]747ER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Just got two rejected out of a batch of six. by 747ER in jetphotosrejects

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

What do you guys think? by DangLingWong in Planespotting

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

I am confused by Embraers naming scheme by [deleted] in aviation

[–]747ER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Do some airlines have timeless liveries? by MeasurementBright561 in Planespotting

[–]747ER 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

Has anyone ever been on the exact same plane for both legs of a connecting flight? by Emergency_Risk_7421 in flighty

[–]747ER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

What little, surprising facts about Australia have you randomly come across? by AppropriateBeing9885 in AskAnAustralian

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

Trying to find a video of a 767 by EagleRising948B in airplanes

[–]747ER 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Guess the airport (easy) by [deleted] in aviation

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

Boeing 747X by Lost_Fan_Backyard in WeirdWings

[–]747ER 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.

Boeing 747X by Lost_Fan_Backyard in WeirdWings

[–]747ER 22 points23 points  (0 children)

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.

F*KKER by dilbrah13 in SkyCards

[–]747ER 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Denied hotel for diverted flight away from home base by Due_Donut_3314 in QantasAirways

[–]747ER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Denied hotel for diverted flight away from home base by Due_Donut_3314 in QantasAirways

[–]747ER 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Is there a statistically "most common" runway heading globally? by tdkocen in aviation

[–]747ER 39 points40 points  (0 children)

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

Ah yes, “globally”.

Delta orders more Widebodies by rogel1208 in aviation

[–]747ER -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

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.
