Re: Accident at Haneda

Some video showing the initial impact. Obviously we know all the passengers and crew on the A350 evacuated safely, but it seems amazing that even one person survived from the Coast Guard aircraft.

Re: Accident at Haneda

Being reported on the Beeb with live pictures. The plane is just a burning hulk now, but they're saying all the 300+ passengers got off safely.

Coast Guard have said five of the six occupants from their aircraft are unnaccounted for at this point.

I have it in good authority that it will take off for a final ferry flight a week on Saturday in 11 days time. In the morning, before 11:59am. Be there early as it could get busy. Is the plan to have it being escorted by a Flight of Pigs too? I'll keep an eye out for the Porknam! I'm sure the Polic...

Re: Red Arrows Statement

I suspect in reality it has more to do with the dire state of aircrew training (and therefore available pilot numbers) in the RAF at the moment. In the past the Reds have generally been able to draft in previous team members or extend the tours of outgoing team members to cover such shortfalls. I h...

Re: Red Arrows Statement

It's been announced that the Reds will be flying an 8 ship display for 2023, with the 9 ship only for flypasts. It seems to be a safety issue with having to train too many new pilots if they were do a 9 ship display. I suppose they will at least be able to do a diamond again, and make the formations...

They not only have a Team Leader but also recently added an Officer Commanding above him. Perhaps the OC should have spent more time doing his day job and less writing his book.

Re: Future Display Team Aircraft

In the case of the Red Arrows, I'm going to say they'll be disbanded once the Hawk T1's are out of hours.

I think costs (replacement and operational) will be one thing, but also the 'green' issue will probably be highlighted as a reason for them to go.
