World Aviation History on Instagram: "January 2019, Olenya airbase, Murmansk region. After a normal training flight, a Tu-22M3 was returning back to base, attempting to land in difficult weather conditions. Leaving aside the low visibility, the Tupolev was too fast and made a hard contact on the runway, which made the plane bounce and rip apart in mid-air. Only one crew member out of four managed to eject. #tupolev #tu22 #tu22m3 #russianairforce #russianbomber #aviation #accident #landing #crash #crashlanding #failedlanding #bomber #jet #aircraft #airplane #aviationhistory #military #militaryaviation #catastrophe"

Yeah, thats why they have “decision height” and “missed approach procedures”. Continuing an approach when you cant see the runway usually has those effects.World Aviation History on Instagram: "January 2019, Olenya airbase, Murmansk region.

And I’m sure their golden parachutes are worth multiple times what I’ll make over my career
Those motherfuckers had better *NOT* run out of money. They owe me a (tiny) pension.

You mean northern Virginia
Those execs stay far far away from a factory.
Well what's more important, your pension or that they continue to make F-12 hypersonic nuclear powered stealth tanks?Those motherfuckers had better *NOT* run out of money. They owe me a (tiny) pension.

It's an approved temporary repair and standard industry practice.
Speed Tape will also give you the worst paper cut of your life.
I just got back from the Air and Space museum, and I swear to freakin’ gawd the stuff on the lunar landing modules were put together with speed tape.
Well, ya. Do you actually think we went to the moon? Dude, the earth is flat and Tartaria will rise again.
Well, ‘we’ didn’t, but a couple of dudes with balls of Titanium did.
Someone forgot to tighten the cowling and is going to get fired

Neither Money Nor Manpower: The story of the de Havilland Comet and the crash of BOAC flight 781
The story of the world’s first jetliner and its untimely demise, minus the myths.
The moniker Comet was surely ironic (as i am sure was commented on thousands of times).
A mea culpa of sorts. In "I know a guy who knows a guy" news, word on the street is both the mechanics involved in the Southwest cowl departure were brand spanking new. One still on new hire probation and the other just weeks past. Both have apparently been relieved of their duties with the airline. It is heady days in the industry right now but it speaks to me of pretty poor culture that two essentially brand new people were allowed to be working all night and nobody was double checking their work. I also wonder what kind of half assed walk around the FO was doing that they failed to notice a unsecured cowl. It's not that hard to spot.In a union shop?
so I'm hearing there'll be two new car salesmen in the near future
whose time I will waste in the future getting quotes, no doubt
They will just walk across the street to United. Pay scale isn't quite as good, but they'll probably be fine.
Wonky perhaps, but related:
