A couple left their baby at an airport check-in after they refused to buy a ticket for their young child. While the debate around babies on flights is usually centered around if they are crying or not, the people on this flight didn’t get the chance to see if this one was a screamer as they never boarded the plane. The couple in question attempted to board a Ryanair flight from Tel Aviv to Brussels, but they hadn’t actually bought a ticket for their baby. The couple refused to buy a ticket for their baby.

YouTube / What You Haven’t Seen An Unfortunate Accident Crashes involving large aircraft usually do not end well for the people involved. The crash that this V-22 Osprey had is no different. Trying to land at the USS Green Bay, this Osprey, unfortunately, banked to the left a bit too much. The left part of the plane struck the ship first and everything went downhill fast after that. There were 26 passengers on the plane. Unfortunately, only 23 passengers were rescued alive. The remaining 3 passengers were pronounced dead. What seemed like a routine training session, unfortunately, ended in…

YouTube / Found And Explained Boeing has a variety of aircraft that can fit the next passenger plane, but none of them fits the bill like the B-52. However, it also raises a couple of questions- how many passengers would it fit on board, what would it be like to fly, and is it even a good idea?  The Boeing B-52 Passenger Version Plagued with recent aircraft development delays and shutdowns, what if Boeing reformatted one of its planes- the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress into a passenger plane? Doing so just makes sense, right? The plane can carry a ton of weight, it’s…

When it comes to the most technically advanced helicopters on the planet speed matters. Whether its reducing response times in emergencies or effectiveness on the battlefield helicopter manufacturers continually push the boundaries of speed to showcase the capabilities of their latest and greatest aircraft. Helicopters reaching these high speeds run into a phenomenon called the flow separation boundary, which is greater in twin-rotor designs. Which is one reason why helicopter designs are becoming more elaborate with many manufacturers turning to hybrid designs to achieve stable higher speeds. helicopters are pushing the boundaries in this new age for helicopter speed.…

Students have begun a 24/7 non-stop prayer service at a Christian college in Kentucky with fellow students driving in from different states. The service at Asbury University in Hughes Auditorium was supposed to be over on the morning of February 8th, Christianity Today reported.

Interesting, and good to know that old planes can be reused, improved, maintained. You do not mention whether engines are improved. And also, “maintenance-friendly” if that is the case is enormously cost-effective – but only if the design is done with maintenance in mind. I worked on those old B-52H model aircraft at my first duty station and it was cold in Minot, North Dakota and the weather was too cold in Winter and too hot in Summer. Later on I worked on the D and G models at U-tapao TNAS, Thailand, and Barksdale AFB, Louisiana. I am surprised…
