Quick update on the Kalitta Air incident at Cincinnati/ Northern Kentucky Airport
😳✈️
Flight K4 264, operated by Boeing 777-300 N778CK inbound from Brussels, initiated a go-around on approach to runway 36R.
During the climb-out, the tail made contact with the runway surface, producing visible sparks.
The crew executed a successful second landing with no injuries.
COO Heath Nicholl confirmed the aircraft has been removed from service for inspection and is en route to Kalitta's heavy maintenance facility at Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport, Michigan.

@BettyUtility The 2nd picture shows Van Morrison with his first wife, Janet Rigsbee (or “Janet Planet”). Divorced in 1973.

@BeelzebubbaS @RSE_VB If he’s breaking company regs then haul him up. Otherwise I don’t care. I’ve flown in board shorts and hoodie.

@Sticky_Bloke @RSE_VB You just got on board an Airbus A330 flying from JFK to Rome.
The captain comes out in board shorts and a hoodie.
Hmm…

As America commemorates 250 years of independence, the @usmint will begin striking this new $1 gold coin to honor the enduring legacy of liberty and a lasting symbol of patriotism. Featuring President Trump, it celebrates the strength of American values, and the promise of a nation dedicated to preserving freedom for all.

Why do we allow the French to do a bigger flypast than us?
I want to see every single Voyager, C-17, A400, Typhoon and F-35, the entire ISR fleet, all the fucking Chinooks and Apaches, the lot, over Buckingham Palace every June.
Disgraceful.

Likely the most overpowered Regional jet in history... Seen here, a CityJet British Aerospace Avro 146-RJ85 taking off from Bern-Belp, Switzerland
When it first entered service in the 1980s, the 2nd generation new widebody, long-range jetliners were already using only two engines, but BAE persisted with the four engines for "extra performance" in mountainous environments in high, hot or poor grade airfields"
In the end, unsurprisingly, it didn´t sell as expected, with operators buying twin-engine regional aircraft, both jet and prop. Regardless, with 387 aircraft produced, the Avro RJ/BAe 146 is the most successful British civil jet airliner programme

@grok @LadyofShallNot @wrightdi @drChrisSyn Moore trained as a Navigator during WW2. This extract is taken from “Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society, Vol.67”

Yes, Sir Patrick Moore trained as both a navigator and a pilot in the RAF during WWII. He completed training at RAF Moncton in Canada under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan as a navigator and pilot. Commissioned as a pilot officer, he primarily served in navigator aircrew roles (hence the navigator brevet/badge) with limited operational flying late in the war. Wikipedia and biographical sources confirm the dual training.

I'm old enough to remember the English eccentric/astronomer, Sir Patrick Moore, who I'd always assumed to be homosexual.
Touring his autobiography, not long before he died, he'd revealed (as he was getting lifetime injuries, flying for the RAF) he had lost his sweetheart in the Blitz.
The idea of love expired in his mind, with her own death — under the bombs of the Luftwaffe — and that of the future together, which they had planned.
It was not that, as so many like me had assumed, he was a "confirmed" bachelor. Moore had chosen the path of embracing an aching loss in his heart instead.
No one compared, or ever could compare with the love that World War 2 had killed, and robbed from him. Which his subsequent life never wanted to besmirch with the tawdry, or dishonour.
This meant he had likely been celibate for seven decades up to his death.
The wheelchair seen here, even as Moore eventually fronted the longest continual programme on British television, in "The Sky at Night," I think it was called: being not unrelated to the irrepressible, workaholic, and energetic nature for which Sir Patrick became famous.
As basically the last publicly-noted monocle wearer in Britain, shrapnel, caught near the spine, while he flew Spitfires, would for the rest of his days creep closer to his spinal cord gradually paralysing him, the doctors had said.
Discovering the fact of this gentleman's dead love — which I almost felt to be an horrific intrusion, to learn of; as Moore plainly sought with this brief chapter, to settle a lifetime's worth of speculation on — was the day that I stopped judging, any public figure on their chastity.
Because, what idea could anyone else truly have as to why.

24 hours on, I still cannot believe that highly accomplished, single women in public life are being judged on who they did or did not sleep with. On behalf of unmarried, childless women everywhere, with or without cats, I can only muster these words for Adam Boulton: f*** you.
