Global Connections ✈️ FLIGHT TRAINING #32 ✈️ Noel Philips visits Wingbird Aviation at Mesquite Airport to begin multi-engine flight training in a Beechcraft Baron (N3622A). Under the guidance of Danny Mroy, the session focuses on mastering the complexities of managing twin engines, executing precise taxiing, and handling high-speed approach procedures. The training also proved highly intense because twin-engine aircraft introduce complex aerodynamics, including managing asymmetrical thrust, dealing with simulated engine failures, and balancing a significantly higher workload in the cockpit. 🇺🇸 | FLYGCAVIATIONNETWORKUK.ORG 🇬🇧

Global Connections 👨‍✈️ AIR CRASH INVESTIGATIONS #180 👩‍✈️ On December 29, 2024, Jeju Air Flight 7C 2216, a Boeing 737-800 registered HL8088, was involved in an accident at Muan International Airport (MWX/RKJB), South Korea. The aircraft made a gear-up landing on runway 19, slid past the end of the runway and collided with the ILS localizer antenna array that was installed in a concrete platform. The aircraft disintegrated and burst into flames, while the tail separated near the beginning of the vertical stabiliser and remained relatively intact. Of the 181 occupants, two flight attendants seated in the tail section survived the accident: ASN Report. 🇹🇭 🇰🇷 | FLYGCAVIATIONNETWORKUK.ORG 🇬🇧

Global Connections 👮‍♂️ CRIME #91 👮‍♂️ The documentary will highlight both Glitters high points and low points, and look at related subjects such as Jimmy Saville and Operation Yewtree. It will also touch on the controversy of his music being used in the hit 2019 film, Joker, starring Joaquin Phoenix. This is an amateur homemade production obviously, but hopefully you enjoy. 🇬🇧 | FLYGCAVIATIONNETWORKUK.ORG 🇬🇧

Global Connections 💥 MILITARY WORLD #137 💥 I spent months preparing and learning everything about the MiG-15 (or in this case an SBLim-2 which originally started life as a single seat Lim-1, a Polish license-built copy of the original MiG-15 that used the RD-45 engine). I had a quite a few test points to fulfill during the flight - slow speed handling in landing config at altitude, some aerobatics, high speed handling at 400kts, an SFO (Simulated Flame Out)... but unfortunately we had an issue the resulted in me not being able to do a large portion of what I came to do. 🇺🇸 | FLYGCAVIATIONNETWORKUK.ORG 🇬🇧

Global Connections ✈️ BUSINESS JETS #15 ✈️ Popular automotive creator Cleetus McFarland organized a surprise training flight for Kyle Wade (known online as BoostedBoiKyle) in a HondaJet Elite II (N94EF). Because Kyle is widely known in the car community as a massive "Honda Boi" who builds high-horsepower Honda projects, Cleetus set up the ultimate brand experience by getting him into the cockpit of the fastest and most expensive Honda ever built. 🇺🇸 | FLYGCAVIATIONNETWORKUK.ORG 🇬🇧

Global Connections ✈️ CONCORDE #33 ✈️ Combining fighter-jet speed with first-class comfort, the Concorde met an unprecedented technical challenge. Twenty years of research, more than 5,000 hours of test flights, and extraordinary Franco-British collaboration yielded an iconic, supersonic aircraft that looked like the future. But it was also the aircraft of excess: Guzzling almost 450 litres of fuel per minute during its screaming, 119 decibel takeoff, producing a sonic boom that barred it from populated areas, and requiring ten times more maintenance than conventional aircraft at that time. 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 | FLYGCAVIATIONNETWORKUK.ORG 🇬🇧

Global Connections ✈ AIRLINES #56 ✈ That heat hitting you the second the aeroplane door opened is something you never quite forget. For most of us in the eighties, a summer package holiday was the very first time anyone in the family had ever been out of the country. Nobody booked online. You spent a Saturday morning sitting in Lunn Poly or Pickfords, going through glossy brochures. 🇬🇧 🇪🇸 | FLYGCAVIATIONNETWORKUK.ORG 🇬🇧

Global Connections 💥 MILITARY WORLD #136 💥 Paratroopers are trained to support crisis-response, security and deterrence. Before anyone can become a paratrooper, they have to survive US Army Airborne School at Fort Benning, Georgia. Business Insider went inside the three-week training course, and visited the riggers, who are responsible for safely packing and inspecting every parachute. 🇺🇸 | FLYGCAVIATIONNETWORKUK.ORG 🇬🇧

Global Connections 👨‍✈️ AIR CRASH INVESTIGATIONS #178 👩‍✈️ Could a Boeing 737 MAX recover from a terrifying dive with no one at the controls? The story of Flydubai Flight 1073 piloted by Captain Smit Machchhar raises that extraordinary possibility. In this video, I combine passenger accounts with an ADS-B flight reconstruction to examine the reported cockpit attack, the intervention that helped save 180 people, and the damaged aircraft’s eventual landing in Tabuk. 🇦🇪 🇮🇱 | FLYGCAVIATIONNETWORKUK.ORG 🇬🇧
