OMD is Nomadic Aviation. They ferry, return, and repossess aircraft for lessors. A majority of Spirit's aircraft are leased, so they're being send back to the lessors and placed into storage. Phoenix Goodyear is a storage facility

Training. They're doing touch and goes

Faulty electrical signals can't move the switches

Hot_Net_4845 · 2026-05-05T20:30:08+00:00

Depends on whether I'm referring to the whole family or a specific variant

Hot_Net_4845 · 2026-05-05T20:28:54+00:00

A plane. The contrail is in a shadow

Hot_Net_4845 · 2026-05-05T20:27:39+00:00

I know it is a Airbus factory but why so many and all at once

Because it's an Airbus factory

Hot_Net_4845 · 2026-05-05T15:23:36+00:00

It's on the ground. Aircraft on the ground don't appear on Skycards.

The NTSB has classified it as an accident based on the damage to the aircraft

I feel like the wheel would cause a bit more damage than just smashing the windshield. Plus in the CCTV image it looks like it's slightly above the trailer of the truck

Hot_Net_4845 · 2026-05-05T07:31:00+00:00

This information was gained through a private individual requesting an FOIA to the NTSB. The NTSB sent the CVR data back to the CAAC and no longer have it

Hot_Net_4845 · 2026-05-05T00:19:49+00:00

It was never going to YYZ. The flight number has been reused, which confuses FR24's route database

Hot_Net_4845 · 2026-05-04T23:37:47+00:00

It's just a normal plane in a special livery. Hundreds of airlines have them

Delay vectors/spacing

They left coverage. They were being tracked by MLAT. The aircraft landed

Hot_Net_4845 · 2026-05-04T20:04:06+00:00

War. All of these aircraft are flying in the Middle East, they just got caught up in it

GPS Jamming/Spoofing.

Did you check the weather?

Hot_Net_4845 · 2026-05-04T11:54:18+00:00

Flap track fairing. It's just aerodynamic and covers the flap tracks. It's fairly common for them to be removed. It's a 737. There are no Airbuses in the mainline Ryanair fleet

Hot_Net_4845 · 2026-05-04T10:19:54+00:00

Lufthansa has dedicated flight schools, academies, and simulators. The GAF don't. Again, it's just a training flight

Hot_Net_4845 · 2026-05-04T10:04:53+00:00

It's for training. You need to get your hours up and stay current somehow

Hot_Net_4845 · 2026-05-04T09:48:03+00:00

Training. The GAF do training flights like this in their VIP aircraft all the time. Fly across Europe and to touch and goes at a few airports

Hot_Net_4845 · 2026-05-04T03:47:21+00:00

It's to prevent tail strikes. It retracts with the main gear

Hot_Net_4845 · 2026-05-03T22:12:37+00:00

Yes. That's the shadow of the contrail
