If youβre looking for me Iβm on Bluesky.
Leaving this open in case someone else takes it over and repairs the damage.

@FishAlexander@fictional@AZ_Intel_@lookner Flaps are lowered so that speed can be lowered without stalling. For take off they are lowered to assist with flight at lower speed.
They have the effect of extending the width of the wing thereby increasing lift at lower speed.
@fictional@AZ_Intel_@lookner Flaps donβt slow the plane. They just allow it to fly slower for take-off and landing.
Looks like full hydraulic failure.
If there had been a decent run off area at the end of the runway they probably would have all survived π€·πΌββοΈ
@RonFilipkowski Do they forget what happened when Argentina decided it wanted The Falklands? That was just Britain, on its own, defending an island on the other side of the world. Now add all of NATO into that for an island only a few hundred miles away. Itβs not just Denmark you idiots π
