@hAneen_19990 Yes, several times, from airport control towers, moonlit night. Swans mistake the runway for water. Aside from the shock of crash landing, they can’t take off again. Have to be caught and taken to water, or rescue centre.

@OTM3991 @flightradar24 Hong Kong to London the long way round, the journalist #RichardQuest was on board using new satellite cell phone connectivity launched then, routine now.

Qantas just showed their wild polar route for the new non-stop SYD-LHR A350 flights... heading north over the Pacific, up near the North Pole, then into London from the north for part of the year.
Smart way to dodge the jet stream and optimize fuel. 19.5-21 hrs one way.
This one’s gonna be next level.
You taking a 20hr direct or prefer a stop?

@Birdseed501 @Birduder344 @Peteihfd Was at LHR the day PI crashed. Windy, low cloud and rain. A few weeks later I was at AIB and shown around the aircraft reconstruction/investigation. Sombre day.
