00:00 - I posted this last year, (June ‘22) but just stumbled on it again - this was over Spain westbound. I was flying a 767-300ER from Nimes France to Lima Peru - this French Air Force E-3 sentry was below us. Great look at the AWACS radar spinning! #Avgeek
00:00 - Smearing the pilot who lost his life before anything factual is known is irresponsible and reprehensible BS. Over 1.5 years on-type is NOT low experience by any measure FYI.Danilo Santos Romano, the Captain of Voepass flight 2283 had only been Captain for 1 year and First Officer for 8 months on the ATR-72, Brazils media has reported.
Readers added contextThis post is internationally framing the pilot's experience as minimal to drive engagement — later in the thread they acknowledge extensive prior flying experience x.com/aviationbrk/st… - These are the fuel control switches on a 787. No different than the 777 757 767… they have to be lifted over a little gate to change position - it’s not something that a trained pilot can accidentally do… they move up to “RUN” for start, and cutoff for shut down.

AAIB confirm engine switch movement in Air India 171 preliminary report theaircurrent.com/dispatches/?en… (via @theaircurrent) - Check THIS out. This was a first for me - a French Air Force E-3F AWACS spotted below us. We were at FL330 over Spain, and it was down around 290 I believe. We slowly overtook her. The spinning radome clearly visible! #AvGeek
00:00 - On the leg between Guam (PGUM) and Kalaeloa (PHJR) we experienced a fault with one of our 2 AC packs. This left us a single point of failure away from de-pressurization, which would require a descent to an altitude where we could breathe without supplemental O2. Keep in mind, a
00:00 - As you all know by now, we bounce around from type to type a lot, but after a few straight days of flying patterns, approaches, maneuvers in a 1986 IA-1124A, jumping right into an Airbus is wild. Bob and I each looked at each other on the climb in the A320 and said: “Jesus, thisYesterday, 1PM Yesterday, 2PM
- Horrible. This is a flat spin - and I won’t speculate as to how they got into it, but at this low altitude in a plane this size, there’s no getting out of it. RIP to all involved.
00:00 - Here’s a current (and past) pic of my now 101 YO grandfather / WWII Aviator / Centurion+, grandfather Marty Benoff who celebrated his 101st Birthday yesterday. Also pictured, my mom! Can we get him 1000 likes? I mean the man is 101 and a vet from the Greatest Generation! RT!
Happy 101st Birthday to my grandfather Marty Benoff! WWII Army Air Corps aviator and all around awesome guy… 101! Crazy right???🍀
