Re: Passenger punches flight attendant in the face ... And walks off the flight

not arrested due to his personal circumstances ?
(being deaf cannot be the reason, being an influential person could. )

and not injured despite being being punched in the face several times ?

Strange story. Hey Sean and Flanker: don't let you 2 get upset so easely, because of a ratling story.

Re: Beech 18 on floats coming to Belgium

Great!
As a teenager, we took every year the cup in our dinghy class at l'eau d'heure.
I liked sailing there a lot.
Now airplanes! From the one passion to the other.

Let the Russians come with their Berievs :D

Re: Tunisia hotel attack: Jetair & Thomas Cook bring tourists back

Terror succeeds if it is given attention,and if people get afraid. Terrorism has no strategic military aims. The sole goal is to spread fear. In my personnal opinion, the word terrorism is used too easely. I take the example of the Tamil Tiger LTTE attack on the airports in 2001, without aiming at i...

Re: Move Brussels Airport to a new place (ask the NIMBY's)

We had a similar subject some time ago. I replied with the rather unusual idea to flatten the Zonien forrest and build a new airport on top of it. For those more interested: go on Google Earth or maps and see how the ring road is interrupted in the south of Brussels. That was a decision many years a...

Re: Terminator at Malaysia Airlines

I hope that Mr. Müller is aware that his new employer, not just the airline but Malaysia as a nation, has a "strange" attitude towards foreigners. Blaming George Soros for the 1997 financial crisis is just a typical example. Its affirmative action program that favours Malayian against Chin...

I am so sad that all these details were predicted from the beginning, by me, but that was based on other postings world wide. They are dragging their feet. Question: why?

Re: 27/05/2015 Major power failure at Belgocontrol

Technically it is a bit strange that by performing an excercise by switching on the emergency power generators, the extra power "melted" down the system. It is normal for maintenance procedures to check if emergency generators switch on in case if power falls away. In a simple installation...
