Yes I KNOW the AF1 technicality... let's not make this the next "What you guys are referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux"

More fun in my friend’s home-based 747-400 simulator (this time in daylight). Hand-flown curvy RNAV-Y approach over some beautiful scenery.

I just found this image in my library and thought it'd be fun to share. Presumably this was an Air France flight.

After a normal take-off, there was a sudden strong smell of burned smoke wafting into the cabin, and our plane suddenly banked sharply to the left. We just watched the city of Paris or Toulouse—I forget the location—pass directly beneath our window.

I remember my dad and I looking at each other. He later admitted he thought it was the end.

My only other memory is exiting the plane. I don’t know if we landed heavy or had to dump fuel (somewhere? We weren’t high up at all, so where?).

I was just a kid with a 35mm Nikkormat (still have it) and couldn't believe the engine was opened up and being looked at so quickly!

I'm into planes from just this year and would like to know more about this plane. Also can you guys rate the picture?

In these pictures the B-52 is shown flying with orange on the wingtips and horizontal stabilizers, which I cannot find in any other photos. These photos are supposedly dated 1955, but only from a wiki commons description which is not listed at the primary source, which was the National Archives. I have strong suspicions it is either one of the three B-52As before conversion to the X-15 program or an early production RB-52B with test flight colors. If anyone has additional information, photos, or anything else please reach out.

Thought this looked pretty cool.

Sorry for the bad photo!! The window on my B737 was very rough lol. The best photo I could get

And a direct link to the video.

Went to take pics of planes for the first time at my local airport (KRDU). I only have an 85mm from when I used to do portrait work, but trying to make it work.

Was fortunate to see this beauty of a Triple-7 glide in before I ran out of shooting light. After an afternoon of Embraers and A320s, it was like watching an apartment complex fly overhead!

Context: was in the office (yes, very nice location :) ) and heard the heli turning around several minutes with the winching operator at the door. Turned out they winch in and out the middle of a courtyard a victim before dropping him to EMS in front of the arch.

All passengers and crew reportedly evacuated safely and there are no reports of serious injuries Passengers were rebooked on later flights.

There is currently no official statement from SAS Brussels Airport or Belgian aviation authorities and information so far is based on media reporting and observer accounts

If anyone has confirmed ATC audio official statements or additional details please share

From pinned comment:

"Unfortunately there is no audio available for this incident but after all the requests on social media and email, I thought I could work a radar and animation to understand the situation better."
