Perhaps but we still ignore the reason.
Brutal change of wind direction or wind speed.

wait and see

I think all the FF programs have a expiry date for the earned miles.
sure the same for BA, LX, SN and many other.
No expiry will be an exception

Just but a few months ago, they did the same exercise with AVRO

Sorry but LED ( St Petersburg) is by AVRO

I will be a night landing at AFB if they chose the first opportunity

Is it me or the Media who is wrong?

Reports of the Belgian Media are confusing. They say that landing will be on a dry lake in California. But isn't that White Sands in New Mexico? Or is the landing area on Edwards AFB also a dry lake? Is it me or the Media who is wrong? Koen I don't trust the media. I trust NASA TV. See the comments...

Landing in Edwards air Force Base

If the wait a little longer there will be nothing left in Africa to explore.

As you say : no comments

With every single plane delayed 6 months, it is not a small sum, the A380 programme will quite surely be a loss start... It is now 2005 and Airbus had heaps of new versions of planes in the past years, why can't they actually make a schedule that they can meet? Simple. Manufacturing of an aircraft ...

Check, double check, triple check: it's not common sense in journalism anymore. I said it more that on time in this forum and in other forums. Wait until the official rapport will be closed. About journalists: Whe have on earth a dozen of good airline journalists. All the guys who gives comment now...

Seems I got my answer here.

At least one expert familiar with preliminary data from the ground radar at Toronto's Pearson airport believes the aircraft actually accelerated briefly after landing -- as though a "go-around" was initiated, before hard braking was resumed. Such a comment is f..... Wind can do it (see ea...

Levasseur told a news conference: "We're very much interested...in finding out why they didn't work before we get rid of the wreck." Two experts from the manufacturer of the slide and one from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board were on site looking at why the slides didn't work...

They can refurbish it and at some part they can make a little museum with the Belgian nostalgia of airlines during the pasts. I hope they find the money to make it modern. Maybe they can used it in the future. I think there are 6 or 7 gates so place enough. Another idea: Transformation in a busines...

"The Plane landed too far down", they just said that as breaking news , on BBC NEWS 24 It didn't. http://radans.net/jens/planestory.html Perhaps well but why? Due to pilot error? Due to wind direction change ? Due to brutal wind speed change ? Please avoid conclusions before collection of...

I think we should not speculate. Dedicate the satellite for US flights will generate many costs for: - adapting the access to the building - additional security - additional staff - adapting all the gates to wide-body aircraft - etc, etc. Generating costs is only possible if there is a real return ...

They don't know yet what to do with the satelite. However, it will "survive" for the time being. Who knows, one day this building might become a terminal for charter ops only (in many other airports, there is a dedicated charter terminal). Lets wait ans see... But if they do that, they ca...

Real Levasseur, leading the investigation by Canada's Transportation Safety Board, emphasised that wind shear likely wasn't a factor in the crash -- as has been speculated -- because that usually would only affect aircraft in flight. He also doubted lightning played a role. And here is the confirma...
