you know the winds are strong when it does this…

We were flying in Monday night and circled airport for an hour before we could land.

 

Plane weathervaned into the wind!

 

Speaking of planes , saw where the NTSB and FAA sent out a warning to boeing about 300 777's that could explode due to static charge in the center fuel tank due to wireing not properly grounded and faulty wire coating . They were in the United and American Airline fleets . Furthermore its a 98$ fix that boeing is dragging their feet on .

 

The last thing they need-another TWA Flight 800.

Somewhere near....

FedWrecks driving petal to the metal still.

 

Don’t jinx it.
One of their Boeing 767s had a nose gear issue while landing in Istanbul a week and a half ago!

"Rips plane from jetbridge..."

You don't say?!? That pinkie-sized umbilical put up a good fight, though. *facepalm

And that most likely put that wing into the bridge, too.

Now I'm stuck with a Don Henley earworm... " just give me Dirty Laundry..."

 

There is home vid recording of the flight that crashed in suburban San De cal . In 1978 . It has a few grusome shots be warned.
