Week on the Web

Flight International issue 9-15 September 2008

See an image of showing Bombardier's CRJ1000 first flight as posted on the Runway Girl blog and have a look at a picture of a frog in aircraft window taken by a passenger on a Turkish Airlines' Airbus A320 from Moscow to Istanbul.

The aircraft's journey before the Istanbul-Moskow flight, was from Adana, a large city in the southern Mediterranean region of Turkey where, apparently, tons of live frogs are sent to Japan and China to star in restaurant menus!

Watch the blowing up of a UK Royal Air Force Lockheed Martin C-130J which was previously destroyed after sustaining heavy damage in an incident while landing at a remote site in Iraq's Maysaan province. A Board of Inquiry decided it was "deemed unrecoverable due to operational constraints".

See a picture of the first of two Ilyushin Il-96-400T freighter for Russian flag carrier Aeroflot's cargo arm as it broke cover.

Watch a 1:9 scale radio-controlled model of the C-17 Globemaster III in action.

This one off special model is possibly the largest radio controlled model aircraft and features a fully operational cargo door and pneumatically operated flaps.
