Re: Helicopter crash in Huy kills two

I flew with the pilot on a number of pipeline inspection flights. Being a former BAF Agusta 109 pilot/instructor, he was often flying on the edge and taking (calculated?) risks. I once ordered him to return to the airport because I didn't want to fly with him anymore. Unfortunately the last risk he ...

As you might (not) have noticed, this flight is operated by an RJ100 in stead of the usual A319.
I assume the range of the RJ100 is not sufficient, so refuelling is necessary.

They want to make it longer in the eastern direction so 25L is easier to use for takeoffs. 25L can be used for t/o's now but airplanes are very low over the houses just behind 25L. Therefore, 25L is almost never used for t/o. They want to lengthen 25L in the eastern direction so that aircrafts are ...

I read some things about the airco... If I'm not mistaken, the airco is driven by the engines? As TWA 800, the engines were running for quite long time on ground to have some airco on that hot day.
