Re: CF-18 Hornet Crashes during Airshow practice, dramatic pics
Those popping sounds can be heard in the video, the first is the canopy blown off the second is the ejection seat rockets firing... I don´t know whether this plane has computer assisted FBW, but if so it must have been turned off to allow for the manoeuver and the pilot simply overdid it.

Re: Polish president's plane crashes in Russia
German YAHOO has it that the passengers on board have been aware of the impending crash during the last seconds of the flight. This info is said to have leaked from the investigation board, after reviewing the CVR. Horrifying thought... RIP.

Not knowing about the battery type in question, both excessive cold and heat diminuish the battery life. I guess the certified duration includes all probable temperatures. So from -4° C to like 30°C (permanent) the lifespan should be guaranteed. Of course the box can stand much higher temperatures o...

Re: Air France jet missing
They should check wether the ISIS reset was required on that plane, and if so, wether it was done as required by maintenance. I suppose that a loss of this system paired with the loss of the Air Data Inertial Reference System during extreme meteorological conditions can easily bring the plane out of...

Re: THY Turkish 737-800 crash lands at Amsterdam
