Anyone else remember the IFR Simulator for Commodore? Like IFR, it was hard.

Ah, no way! I had no idea there was even a difference! So cool! 😍

Looks like a standard outer wing / center wing design. If the same model is still in production they can probably order a new set of outer wings, split it at the manufacturing joint, and replace them. Fair chance the outer wings got consumed in the event. Whatever assemblies are salvaged several engineers are going to have to stand up and say they are okay. That's hard to do if you don't know the specific loads they endured in the event.

The way the wing tip broke off and the right side of the nose is muddied up, it looks as the right main and the nose gear collapsed first. I don't see how else the wing tip gets destroyed like that unless it hit something solid as it departed the runway.

All speculation of course. But hey, it's the internet.

It appears all are okay; other than the Honda Jet. Glad for that.

@ash78 wow.

every one of those connections is a chance for the airlines to screw something up...

So much this!

@Skyfire77 Hah! Just cut here, and, um, right here.

@KngT yeah i like this channel too

cool story. thanks for sharing. I also vote, the fire wasn't started by the flash bulbs.

@mr-ontop black jack too

@rusty-vandura Man I want a scale model in that exact paint-scheme!

@krieger22

RIP.

I wish I could get a Crystal Pepsi. They were really good, possibly the best thing PepsiCo ever produced.

@rusty-vandura If you ever want to see Wonder Woman's invisible plane, it's on display at the Seattle Museum of Flight.

@pip-bip Damn. That's all I've got.

@skyfire77 Love the Skyray. One of my all-time favorites.

@jminer No, though the An-70 came close to production. The efficiency of modern turbofans caught up to what was projected for propfans, and as it turned out propfans are loud, even compared to older turbojets, and the fan disc has to be prohibitively large compared to a turbofan.

48 years?

All I can say is wow. Were they still the front line, or in a more secondary role behind a more modern fighter?

@skyfire77 Whirlybirds! I really wish I had the funds to get my rotary wing endorsement.

I like this jet.

@rallydarkstrike being I'm already here (and will be until at least January...), I'm looking at adding switches so I can swap monitors at will.

Sounds good! I use few KVM switches and switches on my workstation downstairs for my computer repair side gig 🙂
