kosmonooit Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Look at this engine cowling, something came flying out of it at high speed, before or during the impact?

Bateleur1 Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 What were all those Canadians doing in Iraq and on that flight? Read somewhere there is a rather big Iranian community in Canada. Commonly they travel from Tehran to Kiev and then on a flight to Toronto. The small company I work for in Vancouver also have two Iranians working for them.

A sheared wing seems rather major to me...That will buff right out...lot of crashes at Goma between dodgy planes and having to share the runway with lava Robbie Stewart 1
Long Wheel Base Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Any of you know king shaka airport well? I am taking my oldest on his first plane trip next week. We flying from JNB to DUR, spending about 4 hours on the ground and flying back. We not even leaving the airport. Is there a viewing deck anywhere? I have never been to this new airport.

I have never been to this new airport.The best viewing is on airside in the terminal, after security. Landslide viewing deck is small and accessed from Departures Level.You are welcome to PM me for more info :thumbs:

I'm quite sure it's fixable with a bit of duct tape! bear-plane-1-590x441.jpgbear-plane-head-625x350.jpgbear-plane-2-590x442.jpgDuct tape is awesome. Same as ally tape and high speed tape. I have used it plenty. Luckily the plane in your pics has a fabric skin so as long as the tape can keep the air out it will(should) work. I remember that bear attack incident. In those type of aircraft I reckon they should all carry duct tape with them, can fix a bird strike as well. Velouria 1

Bonus Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 I often have a look on this website to see what's happening with BA equipment around the world. Several flights were diverted around Iranian airspace when this all kicked off. http://thebasource.com/ Is there a similar website for SAA? Bateleur1 1
