Went straight to my "Professional Pilots Rumor Network" website, there, most of the time, pilots from around the world are already talking about as they happen stories, anything recent Sure enough, there was a thread, as they call them, pertaining to this crash, so damn interesting....one pilot commments, then the next,may or may not agree and it can get quite sharp tongued and rough actually as the conversation goes down the line...I have certainly learned a lot as they use many of the alphabet codes for their exchanges. Like with the UPS crash in Dubia,many of the posts were from people at the tops of the apt. buildings where the 747 came over no more than a hundred feet. smelling the fuel being dumped so close to them, all eye witness accounts that made u feel u there in many ways! These pilots are very spirited and don't hold back with each other. quite an experience!!!!! sad for those who were killed. i saw the very short film footage last nite from a witness who captured the fire ball at impact!!!and there are many other story lines on that website to get involved with,i have not actually joined yet, but to get the better stories that it may be neccessay...either way , plenty of information to do with as you wish!!!!!and of course our passion! Please all take care, and perticularly captainvector for providing website's for to use!!!!after your inial post!!!!lets see what time brings us now, shall we say, <br />Good nitegetjetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470962723603116261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356602344547709264.post-4817480826908344902010-11-28T04:45:00.849-08:002010-11-28T04:45:00.849-08:00Preliminary reports are that it was an IL-76, a Ru...Preliminary reports are that it was an IL-76, a Russian-built cargo plane. Apparently crashed just after take off from Karachi, killing eight on board and at least four more on the ground. Witnesses said that the plane was on fire before hitting the buildings of a housing complex, whereupon there was a large explosion.<br /><br /><a href="http://widebodyaircraft.nl/il76.htm" rel="nofollow">http://widebodyaircraft.nl/il76.htm</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.timeslive.co.za/world/article787571.ece/Death-toll-rises-in-Pakistan-crash" rel="nofollow">www.timeslive.co.za</a>CaptainVectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340951040263403005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356602344547709264.post-25835974565533592532010-11-27T20:46:17.421-08:002010-11-27T20:46:17.421-08:00anyone hear about the pakistan cargo plane going d...anyone hear about the pakistan cargo plane going down this evening?????getjetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470962723603116261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356602344547709264.post-52253082133173884092010-11-18T18:15:16.815-08:002010-11-18T18:15:16.815-08:00Captain- I was so excited to have a response from ...Captain- I was so excited to have a response from you, and i do hope your bout with the laryngitis ends soon! You must tell me your shift or hours, so that I can perhaps listen to you...what a thrill that will be! You controller just amaze me! When the last A-380 landed at LAX,the morning after the blown engine, the live cam panned and showed the complete landing there!!!!! With flight-alert, I have several of the A-380 flights,while in route alerted to my wk e-mail, so I knew it was coming in and the time left on flight. I remember thinking...OH LORD!!!! <br />A view from the tower...the pictures, and your knowledge, again I thank you, enough for now, time to heal up, get back to work, so until...waiting for more posts,although not even tired of the reruns,so to speak,ha hagetjetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470962723603116261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356602344547709264.post-41413646411784601082010-11-16T20:07:58.950-08:002010-11-16T20:07:58.950-08:00Getjets - Thank you for your kind words, and I'...Getjets - Thank you for your kind words, and I'm glad that you're finding something of value here. As I write this, the A380 saga continues as Rolls-Royce is borrowing engines from aircraft on the assembly line to supply replacement engines to Qantas and Singapore, both of whom are having to swap some engines found to be leaking oil. Meanwhile, if you've been listening to LAX via Live ATC, then you're missing the sound of my voice, which has been silenced thanks to an annoying case of laryngitis. Fortunately my current trainee is nearly autonomous at this stage!<br /><br />CVCaptainVectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340951040263403005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356602344547709264.post-82476163113752076332010-11-15T17:49:22.013-08:002010-11-15T17:49:22.013-08:00Dear CaptainVector, I ran across your postings whi...Dear CaptainVector, I ran across your postings while getting google alerts about the the A-380 engine saga. "No A-380's for you" was the title. I listen to LAX live ATC, while watching live online cam of LAX, also monitor the runway cams at Cargo city and pacific view of runways 25R&L.I am still reading and rereading all your posts past and current. I love aviation...and have learned a lot from you!!! Please keep up the Great Work!!!!!!!getjetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470962723603116261noreply@blogger.com
