After weeks of development hell, my most ambitious Mentour Pilot script to date has finally seen the light of day. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0B4...

Same here. Regardless of whether the ending is bad or not.

Yes, sadly we had to withdraw because the cost of maintaining our podcast on there was too high for the number of listeners i was receiving. CPIT remains available on YouTube.

You know an article is gonna be weird when I spend most of the first 2.5 pages explaining the history of the country where it takes place

On the 31st of January 2003, a huge four-engine Ilyushin Il-76 cargo plane crashed just short of the poorly developed airstrip in the town of Baucau, Timor-Leste, killing all six crewmembers. The crash was briefly noted by world news sources but never made headlines, nor would it have been likely to do so, because accidents like it happen all the time. Cargo flights into remote and impoverished warzones on behalf of short-lived paper companies form a dangerous but essential underworld of the global aviation industry, bringing crucial supplies and humanitarian aid into some of the most desperate places on earth, while simultaneously supporting a shadow industry of arms trafficking, human smuggling, tax evasion, and other criminal enterprises. These flights crash with alarming regularity, but almost all of these accidents are never properly investigated and very little is known about them—sometimes basic facts such as the number of people killed, their identities, and even whether the crash happened at all are left up for debate. Due to a fortuitous geopolitical happenstance, the crash in Timor-Leste in 2003 did not meet that fate. The government of the tiny, newly independent island nation instead invited Australia to investigate the cause of the crash and publish a final report, shedding light on the realities of these fly-by-night freight operations, as well as the difficult circumstances and poor decision-making that doomed the six crew of the enormous Ilyushin. The investigation also provided a starting point for me to dig into the history of the owners and operators of the aircraft, in an effort to understand who was responsible for the flight and their possible connections to the broader industry of clandestine cargo. What I found was a confusing maze of shell companies, conflicting records, leases and sub-leases and re-registrations. And by the end, one thing was clear: whoever owned this plane didn’t want to be found.

Teaser for my upcoming article (and the answer to my earlier hint).

I know lol I'm trying. Had a lot of guests over and wrote a lot of Mentour Pilot scripts lately

The thumbnail also gender swaps at least one of the kids, in real life they were both boys

Shit, I want one

Figured I'd drop a hint about my next article: It takes place in a country that has never previously been mentioned in any previous articles.

Boeing recommends MD-11s suspend operations “while additional engineering analysis is performed,” as the investigation into the crash of #5X2976 continues. The recommendation affects 54 active MD-11s across 3 airlines. www.flightradar24.com/blog/aviatio...

Out of an abundance of caution and in the interest of safety, we have made the decision to temporarily ground our MD-11 fleet. MD-11s are approximately 9% of the UPS Airlines fleet. The grounding is effective immediately. We made this decision proactively at the recommendation of the aircraft manufacturer. Nothing is more important to us than the safety of our employees and the communities we serve. Contingency plans are in place to ensure we can continue to deliver the reliable service our customers around the world count on.

❗️UPS is grounding its MD-11(F) fleet with immediate effect at the recommendation of the aircraft manufacturer.

There are currently 26 MD-11s in the UPS fleet of 294 total aircraft. www.flightradar24.com/data/airline...

The scale of the Louisville crash scene is mind-boggling. Massive props to everyone currently working on this horrible tragic mess.

My thoughts are with the victims of today's UPS plane crash, but they are also with the NTSB investigators who, tomorrow, will dig through half a mile of toxic debris to find the black boxes, all without being paid. Godspeed to them as well.

My thoughts are obviously with the victims, but they are also with the NTSB investigators who, tomorrow, will dig through half a mile of toxic debris to find the black boxes, all without being paid. Godspeed.

My Mexicana 940 article is on track to release tomorrow! (US Pacific time)

What happened?

This is why I stay low key and quiet as hell

Found a new meme template in the B727 ops manual.

(2/2) But because it will be very short, I'm planning to write a second article for release immediately after, about another relatively limited story that I also find interesting.

Update! So, having scoured the final report and the internet for everything I could fine on Mexicana 940, there just isn't that much. I do have some things to say about it, so I will still be writing an article. (1/2)

Not me almost dying of heat on Amtrak after the AC broke while crossing Nevada in July

Exciting!!

Hi everyone! I'm ramping things back up after a hectic three weeks. I'm currently working on an English copy of the final report on Mexicana de Aviacion flight 940, which I expect will be my next article, though if the report contains insufficient information I do have backups in place.

J and Ari love the BAC 1-11 but my heart has always been elsewhere
