RIP to all 4 killed

I thought it was just a pilot that was killed ?

Very nice !

It was Brit Air, operating as an Air France franchisee.

It looked like a Canadair RJ judging from the tv footage. Brit Air operate the 100 and 600 series according to their fleet listing. From the remains of the aircraft you could make out a high tail and rear mounted engine. 22 passengers were aboard according to reports.

I think the pilot must have done really well to keep the death toll down to one, there’s not much left of the plane that’s recognisable.

Best wishes to the family of the deceased pilot.

A BMI A320 had to have a tyre/wheel change in full view of the business lounge just prior to me boarding it a couple of years ago.

It made a few of the passengers a little twitchy for some reason, mainly I suspect because of the tannoy announcement informing us of a delay to the flight owing to a “maintenance issue”

The Holiday Airport Miami special the other week had a feature on the huge Jack Rabbits that populate the airfield. A huge cull was being discussed at the time.

I’ve only been to LAX so can’t really comment.
