@nonameonlyrage I have the lowest-tier, free account and I created alerts (you get 5 free ones) for planes I want to see (A124, IL76, DC10, MD11, A346). It's best to do it on a desktop. Their mobile site sucks.

@WindyCityDriver How do you get these from flight aware? It says "blocked" for me :/

One of the largest airplanes in the world is coming to O'Hare tonight, an Antonov 124. These are pretty rare, even more so now since the Russo-Ukrainian War kicked off and several Antonov Design Bureau (a Ukrainian company) owned examples were damaged or destroyed. #avgeek

This is how mature people handle conflict 👏👏

Volga-Dnepr, a Russian airline, is currently banned from flying into the U.S., and they have several of them.
If you're up late, might be worth heading to the airport to see this magnificent beast.

@CWBChicago Rossana and Sigcho would be burning American flags on Sheridan (well outside both their wards)

Bet on this: If an 18-year-old college student murdered a migrant at Loyola Beach, this city's politicians would be all OVER it. #Chicago

@ScannerChi @kost_lou @EricTendian But then they flare for landing shortly before the touchdown zone at which point forward viz is temporarily restricted.
English
@ScannerChi @kost_lou @EricTendian They probably didn't or if they did, they assumed they were going to stop. The CRJ-900 has a nose-down attitude in the last few seconds of approach where they're looking straight down at the runway ahead.

Side-by-side comparison of C-GNJZ (the aircraft involved in this incident) before and after the collision. The entire cockpit section is completely mangled beyond recognition.

If anyone's wondering why the plane is on its tail, the CG (center of gravity) shifted when everyone moved to the rear to evacuate since the forward exits were inaccessible.

A passenger on board Air Canada Express Jazz 646, identified as Brady, has shared a firsthand account of the terrifying moments following the crash, along with photos from the scene as the aircraft remained on the tarmac. Here is his account: “I was on this flight and we are still on the tarmac getting checked out. I wanted to share these images in case it's helpful to anyone who is investigating the crash or needs more information. I'm okay (physically) but I'm horribly sick to my stomach for the lives lost. Please pray for them.” 📸: u/bradysego12

@ScannerChi @kost_lou @EricTendian For reference, ORD ATC have been working 6-day weeks for most if not all of the past 10+ years. Some of their shifts are "quick turnarounds" which means they go home for minimum rest and are due back immediately after. Something to think about.
English
@ScannerChi @kost_lou @EricTendian This is pretty normal during overnight hours when traffic is minimal. It appears that, because of the workload he was dealing with, he made a mistake and cleared the emergency equipment across the runway as an aircraft that he cleared to land was landing.
English
@kost_lou @EricTendian Could be any of a number of reasons: responding to or returning to quarters from another emergency, driver airfield familiarization training (the airfield looks completely different and unfamiliar at night vs. daytime to a new person), routine patrol, etc.

@WindyCityDriver @EricTendian Why was there a fire truck on an active runway!

🚨 BREAKING: LaGuardia Airport reports a collision between an aircraft and a fire truck on Runway 4. Authorities have not yet released details on injuries or the extent of the damage.
English
@VectorCryptoZ @Breaking911 It happened in Peru a few years ago. Firefighters probably got tunnel vision rushing to an emergency and didn't see the airplane.

@La_Lola_Larue An Antonov 12 full of food would've left a longer-lasting impact than this performative bullshit.

Got squeezed by the upside down face kid driving the 18 on the second lap coming out of turn 4. It knocked the fender in which cut down the LF tire going into turn 1. Bad day. Hard hit. On to Rockingham.
