Like a head but…the attacking object is relivily less affected than the object that is hit.
In this case…an under aged, uninsured, unlicenced driver crashes a car he has just stolen…and it’s OK???
Just come across this…
Sorry to hear this Jim
I too have gone through this so I know how you feel.
We are all here for you…to give advice, or if you want, talk about everything but this.
The last thing you need is a woman to bitch and give you a hard time…
All the best…it will turn out well.
You’ve got load of friends to turn to.
Amazing that therte is a Wessex flying in the UK period.:D
Flybe Dash Eights are a very common visitor at my local.
I’ve watched many landing in crosswind upto the limit.
This, allowing for the forshorting effect of telephone does not look out of the ordinary in those sorts of conditions.
Sometimes there is a little wobble as the flare starts but it’s always well controlled and nothing like a still picture can appear to show.
In this case it was windy, he landed safely…so where’s the issue?.
A captain of the type see’s no issue. He knows what he’s talking about simply because it’s his job to know this.
If I was a passenger wainting to go aboard I would do so quite willingly. I’ve seen many such landings of many types, yet in all the years I have been watching since the early 1960’s there has never been a passenger hurt at my local because of this and crosswinds are a frequent factor.
Pic angles especially telephoto are so unrealistic.
I’m surprised they didn’t mention the lamp post the wingtip has just missed or the group of them it’s just flown through.
This happens all the time on crosswind ‘crab’ aproaches where the aircraft appears almost side on…in telephoto, but it’s nothing like than in normal perpective.
A constant irritant all these ‘dramatic’ non events
Just a guess, but perhaps the USA thing is just a change of registered owner and registration for it’s final flight to Brunters
That happened with some Dominies…US registered for their final flight.
As I say just a guess, but paperwork moves in mysterious circles and some aircraft get ‘sold abroad’ then sometime later ‘imported’ whilst still in daily use and never leaving their orignal base.
Flybe are or rather have withdrawn a few Dash Eights recently
G-JEDT was withdrawn on 3rd February at Birmingham and flown to Norwich the following day for preparation and return to the leasing company.
It appears to have been at least sanitised but recent lists show it as active with BEE.
So either doing a back up flight for BEE or someone else, or being returned and stopping at AMS for some reason.
Whatever, it’s days with BEE are numbered if not over.
And there was the Air France incident
Why the Voyager as such???
Isn’t this an A.330 in general problem???
Can there be anything in the military specialised kit that can cause it to behave this way??
Not doubting anything…just confused
G-INFO for all thing British
Could be anybody in the World.
Leasing companie buy new aircraft to satify demand or just for ‘stock’ all thre time.
Maybe there is no one at the moment but by the time they get delivered…..
Nothing special to be read into this I would think.
Does give the chance for smaller airlines to lease a couple, as such a small order to purcased would be very expensive whereas a part of an order for 20 will benefit from the discounting of a multi order.
In other words…this could make the type affordable for some who want to operate it but can’t afford to otherwise.
No paying passenger will ever pedal…that is a certainty.
G-BHUB flew as ‘G-AGIV’ in “Airline” and as mentioned, G-DAKS was ‘G-AGHY’ in the same series
Alderney had to close due to runway condtion
Many, if not most adventurers thoughout history could be classed as “mad”
If she is qualified I don’t see the problem. As long as she sticks to the rules that she has proved she understand to get her licence, she should be OK
The licence says she can do it. Lack of experience just means she has to think a bit more and take a little more time studying and planning before each sector as much will be a new experience.
Humans would never have progressed without the “mad” element.
