Hey @flightradar24, any idea why it shows flight AI133 flying such a weird flight path? The altitude data is all over the place as well. Other flight trackers currently show the plane flying normally over Turkey. #Flightradar24
@thenewarea51 This incident seems to have occurred at LaGuardia Airport in 2016. Here is the Aviation Herald article: https://t.co/7AvKonUGMK. The aircraft involved was a United Airlines Boeing 737-700. Registration: N13716
@DjsAviation Had Kingfisher airlines not cancelled their A340 order before going out of business, it would have been cool to see them flying around the world in their livery.
@scottiebateman Correction: Forgot to account for the HF Antenna on the tail. The aircraft might actually be a Boeing 720-027. Reg: N7076. This one didn't carry Led Zeppelin as the Caesar's Chariot. Apologies for the misidentification.
@scottiebateman Not sure what the answer is, but I have identified the aircraft, and its registration. The plane has a ventral fin at the tail, has a light blue livery and has the JT3C-7 engines. So, it's a Boeing 720-022. Reg: N7224U. It will later fly for Led Zeppelin as the Caesar's Chariot.
@MenTourPilot Amazing video and great explanation. And I agree that the report could have been a lot more detailed and expansive, such as having info on the weather conditions that were prevailing at Coimbatore airport at that time and communications between the pilots and ATC.
Hey @MenTourPilot, big fan of your channel. I really liked your video on the airport travel chaos and I was wondering whether you could cover the situation affecting the Indian aviation industry such as rise in incidents and anger against low salaries?
@MenTourPilot 8 incidents in 18 days, that's not good at all. Now that the DGCA has issued a "show-cause" notice, I really hope SpiceJet starts focusing their attention on improving the safety and maintenance of their aircrafts.
@MenTourPilot It's nose has a button like thing on top, so a Gulfstream. At the bottom of the tail, there is a small air vent (forgot what it's called). So, we can narrow it down to the G800 0r G280. But, the G800 windshield doesn't match with the above aircraft.
Thus, its a G280!
@DjsAviation As much as I want to see the An-225 fly again, I don't think it'll happen as it's just too expensive to finish that second airframe, not to mention that some of its components from the 1980s are no longer being produced. So, I guess we won't be seeing a new An-225 anytime soon.
@MenTourPilot Reminds me of this incident that happened in 1997, where a Saudia 747 accidentally landed at an Air force base instead at the correct airport at Chennai since both runways had same runway numbers.

@MenTourPilot Interesting. I remember somewhat of a similar incident occurred to an Air India Express aircraft. The plane, while taking off, hit a brick wall, resulting in a gash on the plane's belly. The pilots didn't realise and continued flying for 4 hours, until ordered to land by the ATC.
