Re: Belgian ATC 24h strike 28/09/2010 12:00 UTC

Mr Titin, CEO of Belgocontrol, has just declared that Belgocontrol needs a 20 million euros subsidy from the Belgian government. If the Belgian government doesn't own Belgocontrol, why is he asked to pay for it ? It's not a subsidy. All he asks for is that the government pays for the service they r...

Yes it could. Consider the damage of a small bird on take-off and then think about the size and mass of the balloon casket+occupants.

But the article does underestimate the manoevring capabilities of ACFT. And it's rather easy to spot hot-air balloons while in flight...

I agree with you totally. And I'm convinced that everybody at Vnukovo did a great job. Indeed we always have to assume the worst case scenario. I just wish the press would at least try to remain objective. Just write that an aircraft suffered from a fuel leak, had to return to the airport and the si...

You seem to miss my point. Fuel leaks, together with other circumstances, CAN lead to a crash (Concorde) or they don't (Air Transat). There is no rule that says that every acft with a fuel leak will crash. But this is what the article wants you to believe. Air crashes are just too complicated to red...

The air traffic controllers of Vnukovo Airport in Moscow have prevented a crash of a passenger liner IL-86 belonging to the air company Atlant-Soyuz and flying from Moscow to Egypt. There you have your fairy tale. I don't see any hard facts in that. Remember the Air Transat A330 over the Atlantic w...

You can't just reduce the cause of a plane crash to a single event. No, Concorde did not crash because of a fuel leak. That attributed for about 70% to a deadly crash. You need to mention the chain of events which start at a piece of metal on the rwy-in-use, a double engine flameout on a supersonic ...

Otherwise I fly Malev via Budapest (B737 NG or F70)

The Jet Airways B737 didn't come directly from BFI, but made a stopover in
Gander.

It's hidden at the LH-technics hangar, just beside the World DC10.

Probably visible from the Haachtsesteenweg...
