Not sure if it was an A-20 or an A-26 but whatever it was, its finished.

Looks like a late model A-20.  I didn't know any of those were still flying.

Good Lord.  If any and all just had minor injuries with that thing upside down that is incredible.

The Toronto Delta runway flip, is that the same CRJ900 model that was in the DC collision? Google is not my friend this afternoon...

It seems familiar and they call it the Bombadier. Just sounds really familiar...

Look at the bright side, 80 people got free chiropractic work...

Rumor is that Elon Musk updated the gravity model in the simulation so that he could drastically reduce the cost to lift payloads into orbit with the SpaceX boosters. Not all the aspirated aircraft operators got the NOTAM that the F=MA subroutine now has a bias factor of X™️

From the Internet....

The Delta Airlines flight that flipped over and crashed at Pearson Airport was operated by Endeavor Air, a company that has relentlessly pushed DEI initiatives and bragged about having “unmanned” all-female flights that contained no male staff.Respondents to the shocking incident noted how Endeavor Air, the Delta subsidiary that operated the flight, was obsessed with DEI initiatives, and produced a feminist girlboss video promoting its all-female flights with a rap song featuring the lyrics “bad girls do it well.”

Other videos linked to the company show other female Endeavor Air flight crew and stewardesses performing choreographed dance routines celebrating the total absence of men.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt ripped Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for suggesting that Trump’s FAA layoffs were partly to blame for the disastrous landing.

“It’s incredibly irresponsible for Chuck Schumer to say such a thing when the investigation is still underway,” the press sec told Fox News’ “America Reports” late Tuesday.

“This crash unfortunately took place in Canadian airspace with Canadian air-traffic controllers overseeing it,” she said.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — The family of one of the 67 victims of a helicopter and plane crash on Jan. 29 near Washington, D.C., filed two legal claims against the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the U.S. Army on Tuesday.

The claims were filed on behalf of the widow and children of Casey Crafton, 40, of Salem. He died as a result of the crash, leaving behind his wife of 16 years, Rachel, and three young sons.

The pre-case claims were filed by the family of Crafton, according to Robert A. Clifford, the lawyer representing them. Clifford said he had also asked several companies associated with the crash to preserve evidence.

Didn't they/Delta have a slogan "Unmanned Flight" ?

[sean92008]

Apparently, a recent hard landing (in Arizona?) where the front landing gear failed was caused by a often complained about female pilot who avoided scrutiny because she has a cunt.

What is the percentage of commercial airline pilots who are women? What is the percentage of those pilots who have incidents that should get reported? What is the percentage of male pilots who get reported?
