Look here for different theories, and facts about the incident, including much information about what/where was happening with military aircraft:

I remember also they shot down some lybian fighters. Anyone can confirm this? These are the kills of US fighter aircraft against the Libyan Air Force, there where no US losses. 19Aug81 VF-41 F-14A AJ107 L.Mucynski J.Anderson AIM-9L Su-22M-2K LARAF 19Aug81 VF-41 F-14A AJ102 H.Kleeman D.Venlet AIM-9L...

I am currently trying to complete my flight logbook, and I still have a couple of blank fields in it and hope that you can help me in filling them out.. - In October 1992 I flew on a round trip with Transavia from Amsterdam to Barcelona. I thought that the flights were operated with a Boeing 737; at...

Great feature, thanks for sharing. Especially nice that also the low-cost carriers are included. :wink: But I always thought that OAG was a subscribtion site which one needed to pay for, and now it seems for free!!?? Not that it bothers me. :wink: Btw, I found the first bug: There are no direct flig...

As Trevor already pointed out, NWA has done a good job in making sure that the operations can continue, despite the striking mechanics. And well maintained aircraft don't fall apart just days after "replacement" mechanics have taken up their work. Most of the replacement workers are laid-o...

Unique view, unfortunately I wasn't born back then.

But what makes me wonder, the B747 with the Space Shuttle on top needed to make 2 fuel stops when flying from California to Florida, how many fuel stops (and where) did it needed to make when they flew over the Atlantic? 8O

Damn, not again.

Does anyone knows if there where some Dutch people aboard?
A friend of mine is currently visiting Peru.

The small market like the eastern european! 8O Sorry, did you make a typo there? The Eastern European market is small? Where did you get that nonsense (don't want to flame you here), but Eastern Europe is actually a large market. Even Michael O'Leary (Ryanair CEO) said last year that he would not f...

Sorry mate, only in German: http://www.finanznachrichten.de/nachrichten-2005-08/artikel-5237219.asp The decision about the launch of the A350 has been deferred until early October; EADS says this is because the scheduled board meeting of September has been deferred to October also. Speculations are ...

Sweet pictures (dreams) Andries, thanks for sharing them with us!

Thanks for the answers Vonsmalhausen, it surprises me that scanners are only tolerated in NL and GB, I thought that it would be tolerated in more European countries. Well, as you said, they pretend it has to do with safety like the closed cockpit has (but nevertheless it's a shame). :roll: On a side...

Well, I have a question about scanners (hope that my question isn't illegal :wink: ). Why are scanners forbidden in Belgium? Because from what I know they are not in Holland, and not in other countries. In what other (Western Europe) countries are scanners also forbidden? Weird regulations then, may...

It seems that US Airways not only will fly around with jets painted in the new color scheme of the airline, but also in the colors of the airlines that have formed US Airways: The America West aircraft: http://www.usaviation.com/forums/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=3170 http://www.usavia...

So I would not only extend the "bleeding" to the city councils, but also to many residents in the area, BECAUSE THEY DID KNOW ABOUT THE AIRPORT. VIE is an old fighter base from WW2, like many other airfields in Austria. Furthermore, I do not remember many European Airports which are much ...

What they are now saying is that the best solution is to use a few runways and concentrate the flights. The best solution would be to move most of the people away from the area that is "noise polluted" and only use those areas for business and leisure purposes, and not that people live th...

Here she is, the new US Airways livery: http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic//pics/0823amwest-newplane.jpg I can't say that it is ugly, but I think it is nothing special either. Besides that, I can say that I like it. The only unfortunate point is that there is too much white, the flight-sim pic...

I have flown with Easyjet in October 2004, from Amsterdam to London Luton. Me report can be found here. Both sectors of the flight where scheduled as "operated by B733", but the return flight was on a B737-700. As you said, the fleet is interchangeable, so with a stroke of bad luck you wil...

Thanks for sharing this interesting report with us, although I know that you prefer newer aircraft, I would love to fly on the B747-300 once (especially in business class). But altough I can see your point with the business travellers, I think when flying business class one should dress up to some d...

Somebody has a flight sim. image. Could it be? We'll find out Tuesday. http://www.geocities.com/cxgabriel/USAirwaysNewColor2.jpeg I guess we have a winner here, the discription that the Washington Post gives of the new livery sounds much like the flightsim screenshot looks: US Airways planes will c...

All IL-96-300 aircraft have been grounded due to braking components being installed in violation of manufacturer's specifications (along with records falsifications).
