They flit in and out of Dulles (usually at night) because it's a secondary United widebody mx hub, but very rarely they'll drop in during the day. They do get your attention, and not only because the engines sound unlike Western examples.

Boeing used to charter them pretty frequently to fly in parts to repair various 787-related fuckups, and I think AN-124's were also the only way to move 777X engines on their shipping stands via airplane. There was actually a discussion of Boeing chartering the AN-225 at one point, but those plans were scrapped when they figured out that none of the Seattle area airports could accommodate it due to clearance issues at various spots on the airfields.

They come to Rickenbacker in Columbus sporadically to pick up engines from GE in Cincinnati and fly them to KPAE. Used to get Volga-Dnepr for that too, until the war started.

https://www.wsj.com/business/airlin...share_permalink Details: Only three of the escape slides were used. Wasn't safe to even open the other exit doors due to the fire. Took several minutes to get the doors open because the attendants were waiting on confirmation from the pilots that the A/C had stopped. The attendant in the back opened the left rear door without that confirmation because the comm system, including the PA, was down. Some people apparently did try to get their belongings but were mostly shouted down by other pax. At least one guy in the article grabbed his backpack. Evacuation was over at 1805, crash was at 1747. Gonna call this one a hull loss:

You can get shot in the lung and well poo poo maybe naloxone? I mean it's not like it can be especially bad for you but it shows how bad things have gotten.

That's a bit much, but I do keep ID, phone, wallet, passport, etc, as required on my person in pants or jacket pocket, not in a bag or tucked in the seatback, for that very reason.

poo poo i keep that stuff on my person just to keep my rear end from losing em in a bathroom or a taxi, let alone a plane fire. i am a dude though so i have functional pockets with room for em. if i had to deal with the stuff passed off as pockets on womens' pants i'd probably be doing the same with a purse or backpack, just putting it on already for the descent

Though I guess there isn’t much functional difference between being yeeted from the plane outright and ragdolling against the fuselage for 20 minutes.

Zero One posted:It was a brand new MAX 9 which entered service less than 2 months ago. I remember back in 2019 with the first groundings, I was flying back from Seattle and people recognized the plane we were going to be flying as a 737 and there were TONS of hushed conversations I could overhear about whether it was a MAX or not. I'd love for there to be some Congressional theorycrafting about the possibility of nationalizing Boeing but there's no way EITHER party would risk offending THE ALMIGHTY NUMBER by even *threatening* to do such a thing.

It's a quality problem with the aircraft, for sure, probably not fastened to the hull correctly/missing fasteners. Interested to see the results of the NTSB report on it. Glad the masks and seat belts did their jobs.
