Title: Cathay Pacific Flight 5-16-2011
Post by: sparks on May 31, 2011, 05:34:49 PM
A few pics and commentary from a photographer that was aboard the stricken aircraft. No flames or wreckage, just raw emotion. The pilots did an outstanding job....the A330 is a twin engine aircraft (Rolls Royce ??)

   A pilot of A330 aircraft discusses Air France 447, which went down two years ago.

   I like the CRJ , go cart of the skies .....for short flights

   757 for the longer ones.

   However, any flight that lands in one piece is a good one.
