Regi , like was said before, The Nimrod is used over land as a radio relay station, Increasingly since the operations in Kosovo at the end of the 1990s the Nimrod MR2 had been used overland. "It has been very successful in that, particularly in Afghanistan, because it has a very sophisticated c...

I'm sure it's the Boeing-727 N25AZ.

I watched the landing of the Boeing-727, the approach was very unstable, and landed quite far from the threshold. There was no abnormal smoke for a 727

It's a Boeing 727.

Something puzzles me here... the crew first reported trouble when at altitude 10.000 meters? That is FL 300 more or less? Not a likely place for thunderstorms or lightning, I thought? Why not ? I saw thunderstorms reaching FL 360 or even higher, quiet scarry. Looks like they tried to outclimb a thu...
