Strong winds caused a hangar door to come off its track and strike this aircraft at Fort Worth Alliance Airport, in Texas.

Raising a collapsed nose of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

On 8 March 2018, Boeing 787-8 BBJ N507BJ suffered a nose gear collapse at Moses Lake, Washington, while undergoing maintenance and VIP conversion work. This was a result of the NLG downlock pin being accidentally installed in the apex pin inner bore, which is adjacent to the correct hole for the downlock pin in the NLG lock link assembly. When the gear-up command was issued, the nose gear retracted and the aircraft dropped onto its nose. The aircraft sustained significant damage to the forward fuselage and engines.

As a result, Boeing issued a service bulletin to mandate installing an insert into the NLG lock link apex pin inner bore. The insert prevents the NLG downlock pin from being inserted in the apex pin bore instead of the adjacent NLG downlock pin hole.

WATCH: A Lufthansa Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner (D-ABPQ) sustained substantial damage after its nose landing gear collapsed while parked at the gate at Frankfurt Airport.

The incident led to the cancellation of today's LH450 to LAX service as airport and airline teams assess the extent of the damage. Video from the scene shows the aircraft resting on its nose after the front landing gear unexpectedly gave way while stationary.

No injuries have been reported, but a technical investigation into the cause of the collapse has been opened.

Boeing 707 low pass at Mashonaland Flying Club Air Day in Harare Zimbabwe back in 1995. First pass was around 400 knots at extremely low altitude followed by a second slow pass at 125 knots with flaps 40. Seeing a jet that size moving that low and that fast is unreal.

Slow motion of a Boeing 777’s triple bogie gear touching down. The front and rear wheels spin up first while the center tyres stay still until the struts compress and the aircraft fully settles onto the runway. Peak engineering

This is a perfect video from Air Tractor inside the hangar showing how flight control surfaces respond when the right conditions are met.

Ailerons control roll, the elevator controls pitch, and the rudder controls yaw.

The thrust reversers on this Boeing 737-200 are more than half a century old. No matter how many times I see this, it will always be cool.

Indian investigators are set to visit Seattle for Boeing lab testing tied to the Air India Flight 132 incident involving Boeing 787-8 VT-ANX.

The aircraft, operating London Heathrow–Bengaluru on Feb. 2, 2026, was grounded after pilots reported the left Fuel Control Switch slipped from “RUN” to “CUTOFF.”

Officials want Boeing to prove under controlled testing that the fuel switches cannot move on their own — even under vibration, turbulence, electrical faults, or other extreme conditions.

Boeing is expected to demonstrate that the switch will not move unless physically operated by a human.

The outcome of the tests could play a major role in determining whether the incident was caused by mechanical failure, external factors, or human interaction.

Emirates flight from Dubai to Miami declares MAYDAY at Miami International Airport this morning for low fuel.

EMIRATES 213 flt (Boeing 777-300ER) was on approach to runway 09 at MIA when they had to go around due to low visibility/wind shear due to thunderstorms.

They requested to divert to Ft. Lauderdale but the controller said the weather was better for runway 12 at MIA. They then said they were declaring minimum fuel and wanted to try the approach to runway 12.

Bad luck ensued, a 21 Air Boeing 767 (CSB5232) did not vacate the runway in time as flt 213 was on final and tower made the Emirates 777 go-around. Now the fuel state had obviously became critical hence the MAYDAY call.

One has to wonder how low they really were on fuel when they finally landed on runway 12 on the 3rd attempt. Did they even have the fuel to divert to Ft. Lauderdale without any delays there?
