Are they safe ?

All residents of Birmingham, Sandwell and Solihull. BEWARE OF COVID 19 new restrictions and a Boeing 737MAX on the loose

Will BBC Midlands get it right if they bother to report a MAX arrival?

Are they safe ?

For these ferry flights, the aircraft will be flown at a lower altitude with flaps out - having flaps outs disables the MCAS system that has caused problems - hence why it'll be coming back via Malaga.

Well it's just left TFS heading north, levelling off at 18,000ft

Having problems. Keep getting the OOOPS page so is there another outlet?

Thank you for the link and tease.

Just your average AN-12 going off leaving its trail of good health ? Must have been a slow news day in the local rag! Must admit that I have not bought a copy of this paper in years. Don't think I am missing anything to be fair.

 

[JENNYJET]

Complaining about emissions were they? Real and interesting aircraft is why I have a lifelong interest and few beat a Soviet era belcher!

 

[CL44]

Totally agree Jenny. Would not mind seeing one of the old 707's with water belting through the engines to make it a real "smoker". Spotting at the Airport now is just a case of "oh another 737 / A320 / Embraer". Even the Turkish A330 didn't show up today!

Oh for the days of the diversions or quality charters coming into BHX. Yes we didn't have the internet but there was always someone standing on the steps at the old terminal who had a rough idea that "something interesting is on its way in".

 

[Nethercote2019]

Here is link again hope this works but to be honest your not missing much if it doesn’t ! Now on mail site there are comments about it...

Got it and thank you. Typically negative but understandable since people are desensitized to the older types or never go near military bases. Journalists tend to gravitate towards hysteria because honest reporting is tedious and goes unrewarded.

Most here know I despair at the constant flow of the modern Boeing and Airbus types with the rare visits of B747 and A340 or a military transport. I can imagine being on the golf course and miss the arrival of a A320neo because they are so discreet.

A typical overreaction by both the witness and a once great Birmingham newspaper. A pale shadow of the paper i grew up with. Perhaps a slow news day?.

 

[JENNYJET]

The Evening Mail as it was used to be a great paper and was often set as part of homework at school as it was a trusted source of information. I no longer read or purchase newspapers but do read specialist journals linked to the Law or Aviation.

But we seem to be drifting for which I plead guilty!
