NTSB photos showing the spherical bearing assembly fatigue cracking and overstress areas.

Yesterday, the NTSB released an investigative update on the crash of UPS 2976. Materials analysis showed fatigue cracking within the engine pylon spherical bearing assembly. Similar failures occurred on four assemblies on three aircraft prior to 2011. www.flightradar24.com/blog/flight-...

Here's a scary portrait I took of a seagull about to swallow a crab. 🫣 I post a new image from myself most days. If you like wildlife photography please consider giving me a follow! ☺️

Annotated graphic showing flight paths of JL48 and AY61 from Helsinki to Tokyo compared to the great circle distance between the two airports.

Yesterday, Japan Airlines and Finnair flights from Helsinki to Tokyo took very different routes. Even though it flew further, Finnair beat JAL to Haneda. We look at some of the flight planning considerations. flightradar24.com/blog/flight-...

Sounds of 1994: Back in 2018, I walked through one of our original class 373 trains to capture some of the noises of equipment and doors.

I wouldn't be surprised if Turkish are making more on Manchester than any of their long haul routes!

How amazing does this Virgin Atlantic A330-300 look as it passes the tower at Manchester Airport in some glorious early morning sunlight.

I've only kept my X account open because there are still one or two accounts who haven't made it to bluesky yet.

I left because it just became way too toxic and I couldn't handle seeing some of the posts on there anymore

This one's come out to play at last. Thought it'd be rude not to come and say hello!

I'm taking this through to Brum so I can get the lie of the land, see what's changed (and, indeed, what hasn't) and get a photo or two for work.

It has a been a busy week!! Faro x2, Jersey & Geneva, Belfast & Amsterdam and an Athens.

The highlights were seeing an A340-600 in Amsterdam and a Boeing 737-400 in Geneva. The Athens was meant to be a Berlin, with my first flight on our A321NEO as crew, I was not impressed.
