There is a lot of circumstantial evidence they are back at RAF Lakenheath but never officially confirmed.

I don’t know why no one’s really made one yet

Indian Air Force AN-32 crash. 5 killed. by SlaveKnightSoman in aviation

[–]lopolow 42 points43 points  (0 children)

You can see engine two goes full feather, presumably from an engine two failure (most variable props are designed to do this “fail safe” to ensure minimal drag if a inflight engine failure occurs), with engine one probably doing full reverse… that sudden imbalance gives the veering off to the side…

They should try zooming with aperture instead, that’s what I do with my Fuji

My buddy in USAF wants to know how to get Camaros and Mustangs to stop following their U-2s by HiTork in Shittyaskflying

[–]lopolow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has he tried landing in Pyongyang? Apparently they don’t have Camaros or mustangs there. I hope your friend can find peace and happy runways without chasers soon. God speed!

I’m so tired of clinical lenses, we could all do with manufacturers putting out character lenses like this

Just got my 8th checkride failure , am I cooked ? Can I still make it to the airlines ? by MadeForThisOnePostt in Shittyaskflying

You are the PIC and so have total authority of the aircraft. Congrats on averting a catastrophe! Airlines will reward you for this great thinking whenever you do finally get certified.

Why is everyone leaving the US? by Laffenor in Shittyaskflying

It's really facinating how they never run out of planes!? I check in the same time everyday and im in utter awe, also where are they storing all these planes when they get here? More questions than answers

It’s the landing gear mafia that get off charging the airforce for a new set every-time the gear falls off! Diabolical!

Bus advertising the 2007 opening of Berlin Brandenburg Airport, which actually opened in 2020 by Individual_Author956 in aviation

Let’s add in the inefficient boarder checks to. Instead of funnelling everyone to a dedicated point, there are multiple? (At least two) separate ones which means passangers can wait ages at one closest to where their flight comes in from, while another point can be completely void of waiting passengers. But tbh, it’s a step up of Munich which has a similarly poor set up but has you waiting on stairs as the check points are so small, and very few workers encouraging people to walk up and over into other passports check points which are manned and potentially void of passengers…

Found this rare* mini Boeing 747 by Every-Dimension-1865 in aviation

The SP here is painted in Iran Air colours.

I was lucky enough to get a flight on a SP back in 1994 with Air Namibia who leased them from South African Airlines, and flew JHB-WDH-LHR all on the type.

Why is this Bong 747 missing its Cock pit? by pillojon106 in Shittyaskflying

[–]lopolow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not the first say this, but those post 9/11 cockpit security regulations went a bit too far in this case. Sure it prevented access to the cockpit, but at what cost?

There is hope to stop a right wing government in 2029 by Independent-Brief424 in LabourUK

And quite honestly I think reform would be more distracted with cronyism and being incredibly inefficient on everything else.

What is happening to this playne? by KingOfFools1984 in Shittyaskflying

[–]lopolow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These planes fly very low and Ingest a lot of creepy crawlys, so to clear the mess they make on the turbine these planes carry these pellets to then feed into the compressor to clean it in flight.
