George Hatcher's Air Flight Disaster

ON March 17, 1957, a presidential plane crash at Mount Manunggal, the highest mountain peak in Cebu, Central Philippines, took the life of 50-year-old President Ramon del Fierro Magsaysay, the seventh president of the Philippines, and 25 others traveling with him.

Last Wednesday the Defence Secretary Grant Shapps was travelling on a Dassault 900LX, RAF aircraft which was attacked by electronic warfare in a jamming

The plane landed safely, but it was the latest in a string of incidents for both United and the troubled airplane maker Boeing

Less than a minute into the flight, one engine sputtered and then the next

Aviation giant Boeing has been unable to stay out of the news for all the wrong reasons.

Once the pilot started descending towards the ground, he did everything he could to avoid crashing into homes and, instead, crashed into a wooded area – deliberately avoiding houses, Christian Hartley said, Houston, Alaska’s fire chief.

A supped-up variant of the Su-27, NATO has designated the Su-35 as the “Flanker-E.” The Russian defense community has claimed that the Su-35 is better than the US Air Force’s F-16.

The airline’s JQ739 flight from Melbourne to Launceston on Saturday was reportedly ‘barrelling down the runway’ when the pilot aborted the takeoff and brought the plane to an abrupt halt.

The missing panel also attracted the attention of the FAA, which stated that it is investigating how the panel came apart.

Back in 1955, when United Airlines Flight 409 slammed into Medicine Bow Peak, exploding on impact and killing all 66 onboard, it was the worst air disaster in U.S. history. To this day, climbers still find pieces of that aircraft in the area.

Nearly 20 years ago the Boeing 737-300 nicknamed ‘Olympia’ crashed into mountains. An air investigation revealed a story of tragic human error and heroism

The jet with Defence Secretary Grant Shapps on board had its signal blocked by Russian hackers on a visit to Poland – and it has now emerged that the plane did not have electronic warfare protection

A United Airlines Boeing 737-800 that landed Friday in Oregon’s Medfort Airport from San Francisco was missing an external panel, officials said.

lost an external panel mid-flight before landing safely in Oregon.

A Boeing 737-800 plane flying from San Francisco was found to have a missing panel after landing safely at its scheduled destination in southern Oregon, said the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Friday, Xinhua reported.

It took off like any normal flight – but sheer horror was about to unfold.

From another incident involving a Boeing plane to a rather shocking act that has landed one man in hot water, here’s a look at some of our top stories.

“We’ll conduct a thorough examination of the plane and perform all the needed repairs before it returns to service.”

The Medford airport’s director said the plane landed safely without incident and the external panel was discovered missing during a post-flight inspection.

Another United flight experienced issues after taking off from SFO. Officials say this time a Boeing 737-800 plane landed in Oregon with a missing external panel.

The aviation industry has started leaning towards one pilot-operated aircraft for the plans. This system would assist with crew shortage problems and lower costs in general. However, the whole operation’s pressure would be on just a single pilot, which creates further questions about the possible safety results of this plan.
