Have you ever considered AD.info merch as a source of funding? I suggest t-shirts with "PULL UP" written on the front and "RELENTLESSLY" on the back. :mrgreen:

Airdisaster.info is closing

A short note to Airdisaster.info members: It’s incredible to think that it’s now ten years since I took over airdisaster.info. Over that time I have initially repaired the very broken installation, ported the data onto a new hosting platform, created a custom “skin” and ensured it is regularly updat...

Re: ground incident at Lima

I was trying to be funny given the charring underneath the plane - it looks toasted :--) That's what I thought, but for a minute I wasn't sure if you were not honestly asking if the plane is going to be a write-off. Surely, you can’t be serious! I wonder if anything will be "parted out"?

https://avherald.com/h?article=5013c619&opt=0 This one really is fascinating - my guess is poor / disrupted communications with the tower during a drill - leading to a catastrophic collision (for the occupants of the fire truck) very unpleasant to watch - glad that the loss of life was not very ...

Re: I told you so

Ban all structures!

On an only slightly less humorous note, when I bought my first house many years ago, I actually read my homeowners' insurance policy. I was amused to discover it explicitly covered damage "due to spacecraft"... so that was nice.
they get you on the exclusions!!

The sink is remarkably small and really not fit for purpose. If you get a chance to investigate on an A320neo, I recommend it for the giggle. I would really like to, the last aerosink I had the pleasure to investigate was this, probably in the year 2000 :( (pictures are from 1998). I'm sure I had a...
