Really disappointed we couldn’t come up with a special livery for this airplane. Slapping on a sticker just doesn’t do it. [ATTACH]
The photo in that article is one of our 4 passenger 747s. So yes, there is a US based carrier flying them, albeit on a charter basis.
That’s a fair question. First, consider there is absolutely no way you’re making the destination. The amount of drag is huge and your altitude is...
Took off last year from Hong Kong in a 747-8 and couldn’t retract the landing gear. Had to dump almost 100,000kgs to get down to MLW. Kind of a...
I like that point because I think it gets overlooked and it’s important to keep that floating around somewhere in your brain. This video, is the...

I think there has to be a piece missing from that ATC recording where the crew transmits they are going around. I really can't believe that they...
The times that I've operated AMC flights into bases the controllers always add 'confirm wheels down' as part of the landing clearance. DXB has...
Doesn't take much bank to drag one in the flare, especially on the -8. Word is they got the wind shear warning below 50', hit the TOGA's and...
