meanwhile in there US, Boeing's troubles look to be about to get (even) worse.

After the two 737Max fatal crashes, the US Dept. of Justice agreed not to prosecute if it addressed the issues that had led to the engineering mistakes that causes the crashes... some saw that as letting Boeing off the hook.

Now the DoJ has decided that the agreement is off because Boeing had not honoured the 'deal'; might we now see major prosecution of Boeing?

Man the Midwest has been hammered today with tornadoes. At Omaha’s Eppley Airfield (KOMA), what looks like at least four rows of T-Hangers took a direct hit from an EF2, and wiped dozens of airplanes off the FAA registry. Man I am sad for the owners, no idea if there were injuries.

Screengrabs from #wunderground, just look at the tornado warnings!

TIL airport runway numbers are named for the direction in which they point:

  • Take the runway number, multiply by 10
  • That angle is the direction of the runway

So runway 9 points due east (90°) and runway 27 due west (270°).

The same physical runway will change numbers if they switch the direction of traffic.

Now some poor dope posted on ND that he got arrested for pointing a pet laser at the dumb cop airplanes that so often fly low over us at all hours, all day long except for fuel refills.

I keep wondering when they’ll come by to ask about a middle finger or two being up while I’m doing other shit outside when they fly over, saving the city from cattle rustlers or drunks in balloon chairs or whatever stupid line they’re giving to intrude and annoy.🖕😇🖕

OK, film Mastodon. I’ve got a couple of flights coming up

What movies should I watch? This is important. It’s two 5-6 hour flights. That’s 4 potential movies

I like horror, sci fi, indie drama, coming-of-age, old-age

I ♥️ Dead Man, Hollywood Shuffle, Flirting With Disaster, Living in Oblivion

I watched 2 “auteur” movies from Netflix last flight — The Killer and May/December — and was sorely disappointed :(

(Also where can I find Shag the movie?)

#AirAsia has converted 36 of its #A321neo (new engine option) orders to #A321LR (long-range) as it aims to merge its #shorthaul and #longhaul divisions into one global network

The decision to change aircraft type is so that AirAsia could have more flying range to connect the #SoutheastAsia region to Africa, Europe and America

Someone agreed that there are way too many airplanes going around all the time.

Same person told me also he'd just finished arranging the flights to the summer holiday destination.

Bottom line: other people need to fly less.
