@Turbinetraveler You don’t own the internet. You do the same on many of your posts.

I'm always glad when I bring an aviation story here on X and a few minutes later big accounts take it and it goes viral.

A paraglider survived after being struck mid-air by a Cessna on her birthday. The collision completely destroyed her paraglider, but aside from a few bumps and bruises, she walked away without serious injuries. The 44-year-old woman had taken off from Schmittenhöhe mountain in Zell am See, Austria, while a 28-year-old pilot was conducting a scenic flight over the Alps in a Cessna C182 when the accident occurred near the Pinzgauer Hütte. She later posted the terrifying footage on Instagram with the caption: “Happy 2nd Birthday to me.” 📹: sab_thi

@aviationbrk WTF so lucky the propeller didn’t hit her

🚨 WATCH: A paraglider gets hit by a Cessna 172 near the Austrian town of Zell am See. The paraglider was able to pull her rescue parachute and land safely shortly after the incident on Saturday. According to police, the 44-year-old Austrian had started from Schmittenhöhe in the direction of Piesendorf. Above the Pinzgauer Hütte, she collided at 1:15 p.m. with the Cessna piloted by a 28-year-old. The pilot of the Cessna, which flew from the Glemm Valley in the direction of Zell am See, was able to land the aircraft safely at Zell am See Airport. Video: sab_thi

@twitdumpster @aviationbrk Not misleading at all. You put 2+2 together and came up with 5.

@aviationbrk This is very misleading. This exact plane was rejected from Airbus and parted out. The thing flew it's last flight Dec 2025.

@aviationbrk So sad and preventable

🚨 WATCH: NTSB has shown new CCTV surveillance footage of UPS Flight 2976 showing the moment the left engine and pylon separated from the wing during takeoff from Louisville

@aviationbrk Wow bit of a wild detour 😳

🚨 WATCH: Croatia Airlines Airbus A220-300 veers off the runway and ends up on the grass surface during an aborted take-off from Split Airport, Croatia. The aircraft sustained damage from colliding with a marker board and runway edge lights. All passengers and crew members are safe and no injuries have been reported.

@reedrotorhead @aviationbrk Broke, gave way, didn’t work, had a hard time holding the plane up. Anything else?

@aviationbrk Collapsed?

The main landing gear of a Cessna Citation X collapsed as it touched down on Runway 23 at Page Field in Fort Myers. The incident occurred at 10:14 AM Saturday morning. Initial reports indicate two souls were on board the aircraft and there are no injuries.

@Turbinetraveler AI slop

This is the right-wing view of Frontier Flight 4345 on its takeoff roll at Denver Airport Runway 17L when the Airbus A321-271NX (N646FR) hit a pedestrian.

@aviationbrk Wow huge

AirAsia X is reportedly close to finalizing an order for 150 Airbus A220 aircraft, a deal that could become the largest ever for the model. The agreement would be a boost for Airbus’s smallest commercial jet, which competes with Embraer’s regional planes and has faced production delays tied to supply-chain issues. The A220, which seats about 100 to 160 passengers, would allow AirAsia to expand into smaller markets and airports that are less suited to its current fleet of larger narrow-body jets.

GOL Boeing 737-800 and Azul Embraer E195-E2 were involved in a loss of separation incident at Sao Paulo Congonhas Airport earlier today. Initial reports say the E195-E2 was only 75 feet (22 meters) vertically separated from the 737-800 as the GOL 737 overflew the Azul E195-E2 on the same runway during go-around. A photo has been circulating on social media reportedly taken by a passenger aboard the Azul E195-E2 plane showing the GOL 737.

@fl360aero Why are the engines a different color looks like AI

Recently, an Airbus A320 passenger plane was forced to make an air turn back (ATB) to Katowice-Pyrzowice Airport due to serious damage to its fuselage. The incident took shape while pilots were attempting to avoid an active thunderstorm during their climb, but unexpectedly encountered a hailstorm. The crew decided to abort the flight and return to Katowice Airport of Poland on Tuesday, April 21st. The worst damage was to the forward fuselage, wing edges, and stabilizers. Damage was also recorded in the radar dome area, affecting the weather radar antennas and glide path system. Visual credit: LS Technics #aircraft #aviation

@aviationbrk You have got to be joking

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a close call between a Frontier Airlines Airbus A321 and two trucks on the taxiway at Los Angeles International Airport. "We just had two trucks just cut us off, we had to slam on the brakes not to hit 'em," the pilot is heard in the ATC audio detailing the incident on Wednesday night. The pilot told air traffic control the trucks crossed in front of the jet as they were taxiing at a slow speed. "It happened so fast, both of us were just like holy (expletive), and then we just slammed on the brakes. I might have to call the flight attendants to make sure everybody's alright in the back. It was real close. The closest I've ever seen." In a statement, Frontier Airlines said: "We are aware of the incident. No injuries were reported to passengers or crew. We thank our crew for their vigilance and professionalism." The incident comes just weeks after the Air Canada CRJ crash shortly after landing at New York City's LaGuardia Airport.

@aviationbrk Oh dear time for some tape 😂

Ground vehicle collides with a parked IndiGo A320neo at Kolkata Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, India. In a statement, Indigo said, "A third-party unmanned vehicle on the apron moved and came in contact with a parked IndiGo aircraft. The aircraft has been grounded and is undergoing thorough inspections and necessary maintenance before it is cleared for operations. We will be closely working with the authorities to investigate this."

@aviationbrk Skills 👍

A small plane lands safely on a highway in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania Saturday morning after experiencing engine problems. According to Pennsylvania State Police, the incident happened around 9:20 a.m. in the eastbound lanes near mile marker 45.6 in Weisenberg Township. Troopers say the 1995 Commander 114B plane had taken off from Solberg Airport in New Jersey and was headed to Indiana when the pilot reported mechanical issues. The pilot attempted to reach a nearby airport but was unable to make it and instead landed on the highway. The pilot, a 65-year-old man from Michigan, and a 34-year-old female passenger from New Jersey were not injured. The emergency landing led to the closure of the eastbound lanes of I-78, with traffic diverted at Exit 40 in Berks County. Westbound traffic remained open during the incident. The roadway reopened around 1 p.m. after crews cleared the scene.

@mrbogeygolf Certainly aint Disney World

Passengers on a commercial flight capture the launch of Artemis II. Nasa’s moon rocket Artemis II launched on Wednesday evening, carrying astronauts to the moon for the first time in almost 54 years. The rocket is now orbiting Earth and will continue to do so until Thursday, when the translunar injection burn will take place and send it on the rest of its 240,000-mile journey to the moon. Inside the Orion capsule, the four astronauts onboard immediately began tasks to assess how the spacecraft handled the 17,500mph ascent to orbit.

@aviationbrk Shocking

@chalethigh1 @aviationbrk Pictured first and first to post the picture are two completely different things- Rich.

@aviationbrk This is not the first photo online - you are liars.

The second pilot killed in the LaGuardia Airport crash has been pictured for the first time. Mackenzie Gunther was one of the pilots who died, according to a statement released by his alma mater, Seneca Polytechnic. He graduated from the school’s Honors Bachelor of Aviation Technology (FPR) program in 2023. Gunther participated in the Jazz Aviation Pathways Program and joined Jazz Aviation "immediately after graduation and began his professional flying career," according to the school. "He was the First Officer on the flight, operating as Air Canada Express, from Montreal to New York." The first pilot was identified on Monday as Antoine Forest. While his LinkedIn profile showed he was employed as a first officer with Jazz Aviation, sources told local media he was the captain on the flight.

@aviationbrk @damusictlk #facts

@damusictlk That is not true.

@aviationbrk Wow quite a story

Air Canada flight attendant Solange Tremblay was seated in her jumpseat when she was thrown more than 300 feet from the CRJ when it crashed into the fire truck at LaGuardia Airport on Sunday night. Tremblay’s daughter, Sarah Lepine, told media that what happened to her mother was a “total miracle.” She said her mother had multiple fractures to one leg and will need surgery but otherwise was OK.
