but i did hear that it is quite hard to do inspections on the engine pylon, since its just buried and quite awkward to inspect
Woahhh that’s crazy
and the actual aircraft, N259UP had nearly 93k hours
which is just insane
but it being cargo i doubt would be shocking
BRU airport is going on strike, NO passenger flights are leaving Tuesday
national strike from the transport sector, 3 days for trains/trams/metros etc, only tuesday for the airport
they're striking against different things, mainly retirement age going from 58-60 to 67 so pretty major
🚨Breaking news from Taoyuan Airport: A China Airlines A350-900 (reg B-18915) bound for LAX ingested foreign debris into its left engine right after pushback today
slightly sub-optimal
Kinda funny watching it just spin around
What is that like a rag or something?
A380 central at my local airport
QF12 and QF8 diverting to brisbane, probably ran outta fuel
Rip ground crew
weirdly we never get a380s despite getting 747s daily
yeah from emirates it makes sense, they use 777-300er for dubai flights here
probably because brisbane is slot restricted a bit more ?
We used to have 2 daily A380 flights but the axed one because there wasnt enough passengers
Yeah Brisbane has a single bay that’ll support a 747
Well a 747-8 that is
We had the E-4B doomsday plane at brisbane in 2023
ooo it's such a cool plane
We also had an air china 747-400 carrying some important chinese government member yesterday
First pax 747 in a few years lmao

🏃♂️🏃Here’s the video of the geniuses who tried to catch their flight in Germany today

︀︀Two Romanian passengers can be seen sprinting across the runway, waving their arms at the plane.

✈️ In Germany, two passengers tried to catch their plane… by running onto the runway
︀︀
︀︀At Cologne/Bonn Airport, two Romanian passengers pulled off a stunt straight out of Mission Impossible. After missing their Wizz Air flight to Bucharest, they smashed an emergency exit, ran onto the airfield and tried to chase down an Airbus A321 already taxiing toward the runway.
︀︀
︀︀Security footage shows the men waving their arms and sprinting after the aircraft with its engines running and beacon lights on. Airport staff quickly detained the duo and handed them over to the police.

︀︀They’re now facing charges for disorderly conduct and, potentially, violations of aviation se…
Hopefully they realized an airport isnt a bus stop
Lmao
goddamn
bank angle bank angle
Cockpit must’ve been a Christmas tree
I see
THE WHOLE FAMILY ???????
Yup lol
Neos included
Basically the elevator aileron computer needs to be replaced
I dont think its for ALL a32x’s though, just the ones with the certain software update
Some need to rollback to an earlier software and some need the computer entirely replaced
Apparently it’s about 6000 aircrafts
Geez thats a massive device lol
Probably massively expensive for the actual hardware inside of it
Lmao
Must be a saab
@coarse rose
LMAO so real
so i'm no expert, but i don't think it's supposed to do that at that altitude
Slightly sub-optimal situation to be in for sure
Probably didn’t use enough right rudder
i'm sure ATC was not happy with the pilot pulling that manouvre
Brisbane -> cairns
The A320 Ceo i was on had an inop apu so there was a loud ass air starter hooked up
Started no2 engine on bay, pushed back and the started no1 engine, no2 engine was cranked up a notch to supply bleed air

"Wait that’s not a 747 engine-OH SHIIIT"
Saw this while walking around in tokyo
The US has a heavy military presence in japan
Will have to visit okinawa soon
@ivory pendant coming from HHN airport for some reason ?? Really weird
No registration either
Prolly opted out of public tracking via programs like FAA LADD
National airlines 747’s frequency do that because they carry military personnel
but why in a 747-400 ?
Cost effective, reduces wear on military planes and also has large capacity and range
Under contract through Civil Reserve Air Fleet
https://youtube.com/shorts/N3qgBDq0oko? softest Ryanair landing
I gotta know how these are even done https://youtube.com/shorts/OA_0HKfZcqg?
Hanoi > Da Nang
What i didnt include was a guy getting arrested and dragged off the plane
a321neo my beloved
Kinda wish i had a point and shoot camera
Also managed this crappy shot at night. Cool experiment
wooow
https://youtube.com/shorts/mN59uRdQaDM? this is HUGE news @ivory pendant
Yeah i heard of it
So much ocean to cover geez
But the no-find no-fee contract is cool
https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DS5L1sQkT9S/? @ivory pendant
Bruh
Rip all the turbines and compressor stages lol
Expensive sounds
Spotted the eva air 777 “hello kitty” livery today
Super bad shot because i was at 15x zoom but you can see it somewhat
Spotted again lol
Bruh these older high bypass engines are so damn loud. Only a 5:1 ratio
787 emirates O.o I only ever see 777-300ERs doing the connection to DXB
It was an a350-900 actually
But yeah at my local airport i only see a380’s and 777-300ers
Wtf just had this thing fly over at 3am in the morning
Its the loudest fucking thing ive ever heard. Woke everyone up lmao
Doesn’t surprise me lmao
SAAB MENTIONNED RAHHH
Weird ass flight honestly
From the coast of Belgium to a Hungarian city that’s not the capital ? Could be a charted plane tho
Im excited honestly https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DTfvwYujW2d/?igsh
Yeah probably. The airlines that fly the saabs here all offer charter services
Also btw, the saab 340 uses the same engines as the Blackhawk
Just different models
Bro…
Yeah I saw that, probably need to replace the whole XWB
A cool 20m$
Some dude commented itll cost 15k euros lol
15k will pay for the exterior panels lmao
But honestly I think it’s a scrap, a WHOLE CONTAINER must have disturbed the structural integrity of many components even if not directly in contact
Still a full replacement
Im sure the core has bits of cart in it
And yeah the pylon/mount will probably need an inspection
Fuck fuck fuck i missed an IL76 again
2nd time ive missed the damn thing
Literally saw it fly past outside my window
wooow this is so cool
Whats flightly?
Track your flight perfectly and predict if it’s late
Shows you the gate etc
Ohh flighty lol
Dis your ride?
Nahhhh unfortunately
Dang thats cool
Imma experiment with it now
Ok wtf this app is crazy for the amount of detail it gives you
For free
What kinda goofy ahh mismatched nose is that
Looks like the radome was replaced with the stock vna livery one
I lowkey dig it though. I love mismatched radomes
Mismatched engine cowlings and nose lol😂
Both engine cowlings as well 😭
Not even one
Both
Also holy hell thats a dirty plane
Unless the stock color was cream lol
Yo sick
Looking through my dads old Air Force aircraft recognition handbook, and came across some silly mistakes
Bro
It’s not like they didn’t know when writing this book either, cause they got it right once
Boing
Some maintenance works on this a330 freighter
Diverted here due to technical issues not long ago
Malasyia 🇺🇸
What lens you got?
Sigma 150-600
i really want a 70-200 or 100-500 but they are like 3600 canadian
the 70-200 is
100-500 aperture is worse than my 150-600 somehow
but its alottt sharper
@ivory pendant ball knowledge required
There's a world in which everyone boards planes with "mobile lounges", PTVs, or Plane-Mates... but this is not that world. ■ YUL Montreal-Trudeau International Airport: https://www.admtl.com/en ■ AccessAir: https://accessairsystems.com/
Thanks to Eric Forest and the airport team, and to Christian Brice for stepping in for additional cameraw...
Probably one of the rarest sights in commercial aviation
Thank you air Canada for the 2h delay
I got a big ass photo bag on an absolutely full flight, I have NO legroom
And I’m 181cm…
So cooool
Im 175 lol
Lmao i though that was a ship or a train at first
You're shorter than me
Buuuuuuut im younger
Bro what
Terraria
Bruh wrong link lol
yeah
i would never fly air india
not only they are a really bad airline their maintenance is also super sketchy
Yeah the interior of the airplane says it all.
Not sure how air india even complies with icao standards
They make the 787 look extremely old
Oh hey connie is out for a stroll
Ive been inside this aircraft exactly aircraft 10 years ago
cool
Tf is that
@ivory pendant MY AIRPORT MENTIONNED RAHHHH https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DUbAWuYjRqQ/?igsh=MnV3cWVoMTlja

Yer
A6-EOD. A regular visitor
Siiiick
Maybe
But its gonna be like a premium experience rather than whatever they had back then
Lotta $$$

Wha
They have 8
Qatar emiri air force
I know qatar emiri but didn’t know they had an air force
Vh-yqw
717 ???
Mhm
Yooo that’s so cool
Theyre gonna cut the tail off this fokker F28 which was in the hanger of the training facility i go to
Got replaced with a 717 mid last year and has been sitting outside ever since.
Glad its getting a 3rd life lol
Delivered 1971
Imagine not having to fear being arrested for plane spotting….
:(
Rip
10 minute private jet charter anyone?
lol
@thin apex holy shit all the flights to doha are returning back to their original destination
Not sure if dubai is affected but doha is 100% affected
This is crazy
lemme take a look
ok LMAO
Servers probably overloaded lmao
My fr24 still works
But its on life support
With so many following, let’s talk about this curious path.
Flightradar24 uses the ICAO 24-bit address broadcast through the transponder to identify an aircraft. ICAO 24-bit addresses are supposed to be unique. But some operators use invalid or duplicate codes—either on purpose
3x qatar 777, 1x emirates 777, 2x emirates a380
Crazy stuff lmao
Sheesh
Spotted this Boeing wedgetail at fl330
RAAF?
Yer
Also got a kc30
Photobombed by a dash-8
Wouldnt be a good pic anyways because of the heat haze
Love the Canadian airlines livery
Yeah lots of contrast on that livery
They have a light blue livery but looks kinda yuck
Noooo I like ittt
the toothpaste livery is so tuff
I love Ollie so much https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DUpkerniLTh/?igsh=c2hicHZneG
I got a wave from the flight deck of a USAF C130!
Hell yeah
@thin apex CRJ900 crash at LGA
“The aircraft struck the fire vehicle while doing about 24mph, according to the flight-tracking website Flightradar24, which last recorded data at 11.37pm.”
Oh yeah man I heard the ATC messages I didn’t know what it was
Ok that did not look like 24mph
Was that on the runway?
Oh dang it was. Atc messed up giving the truck clearance
ATC forgot the truck had clearance
It was doing 93-105mph apparently
Weird…
He was one guy managing an emergency for the united flight, the clearance for the fire trucks and all the landings, he was just overloaded
I sincerely hope he doesn’t lose his job over this, they were clearly short staffed for the job
Yeah. Being an atc is hard enough as it is
Just an insane amount of mental pressure
I hope he gets proper help, that’s PTSD for sure
USAF Stratofortress taking off from a British base ain't that weird
Sqwak 7700 bruh
Wait a minute, departed 7 minutes ago and already has SQUAK 7700
If you look closely you can see the trace already starts at the given altitude
Mentour pilot said it was about 210kph… what a horrific crash
Both pilots aren't alive anymore. Sad
Bundeswehr
Also nice catch on my addiction to Germany lol
Yeah thought youd be interested lol
Wonder what they're doing in Australia though
Hmm probably
We have the MQ-28A which isnt half bad
Cant even make this shit up lol
Apparently the FAA is banning simultaneous landings at SFO
@ivory pendant we get pretty cool liveries with our national airline https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DUqytlqjRuQ/?igsh=cXQ5ajllZn
Great shots !
Dannggg that cabin lighting is cool
Deicing in above freezing temps lol
Forbidden mountain dew

Unfun Fact About Airplane Collisions
#airplane #aviation #crash #funfacts
Question for those that have been on planes. I can ask for a trading card or challenge coin or something of the sort, yes?
Yeah ofc
Its most common with American carriers i think
You can also ask to sit in the cockpit when you’re deboarding
Hmm
I did see that American Airlines offers a Concierge Key Tag made out of metal from the MD-80
That's the airline I'll be flying out to Nassau with
You can own your very own piece of a B-29 for only $115
How much are they making lol
Those planes are huge and that tag is tiny
$442,750 At least
💀
Not sure
I think a bird dropped the fish flying away because of a plane landing
Smol plen
This is. Airbus A318
I'll be on the A321 on my way back from Nassau after a stop in Charlotte, NC
I'll be on three 737s, one from PIT to CLT and one from CLT to NAS, and from NAS to CLT. The A321 is from CLT back to PIT
Plen
Nice a220
I'll be on one of these soon

@ivory pendant
Siiiick
DC-10: PULL UP!!!!
2/3 active pax 737s in the nauru airlines fleet
Fun fact: after the 2022 sanctions on Russia, the AN-124, the world's largest plane (RIP AN-225 Myria) can be found parked at Toronto-Pearson International Airport (YYZ) on Google maps

Ouch no maintenance
Unfortunately I think it will be scrapped once something is going to happen with it, it’s not easy coming back into service without regular maintenance, even less with what I would imagine is a pretty small amount of spares available
Yeah
I was completely clueless at the time but i caught this seemingly normal 747F last year while in Vietnam. I had a look at it again today and found out it was the LAST ever produced 747-300
Why did Boeing kill the 747, it was such an iconic plane
ETOPS is quite literally the only reason
The a380 and 747 were born in a segment where planes needed 4 engines for long journeys and where fuel efficiency wasn’t such a concern
+a340
I miss triple engine
tripel is weird n cool
MD-11
yes and no
cool engines!
but uhhh
no thanks (dont wanna die)
cool plane! no flyey.
I mean the DC-10 ruined trijet reputation even though the issue with it was a cargo door.
The idea still wouldn’t have lasted long though
That one UPS MD-11 was because of a maintenance oversight I believe
Streamers!
air new zealand my beloved ❤️
wish it was real tho, never saw one
(I actually did in indonesia
Oh cool this exists
Lol i wish i saw Lufthansa
They dont come to Australia i think
But. I have seen the luftwaffe lol
no you wish you saw Ryanair, the true goat
dude my landing to MRS airport was so fucking hard lmao
time is $$
Did you deboard by airstairs?
no we jumped off the plane for efficiency
Fair
yes we did use the airstairs
Lufthansa seems to use Cathay, Quantas and air india for their last leg to australia
Lufthansa goes direct to US I believe
Also AAL America 250 livery vs SWA Independence One livery
Lol i think i know who won
SWA by a longshot lol
So I'm assuming the planes of bankrupt airlines gets sold off to other airlines?
Huh, a China eastern A359 collided with a jet bridge as they were pulling into bay. Apparently they lost brake pressure, struck the bridge, deployed reversers, drifted back, stowed reversers, and struck the jet bridge again.
Should’ve used the airbrakes smh
Damn pretty nice spot to planespot
Mmmmm CF6s
Hotel behind me lol
Inside RB211-524G-T
wooooow
@ivory pendant this is insane
