A quick blog post to dispel some ash cloud-related rumors which are spreading like wild fire at the moment. The following images were taken of a German registered Cessna Citation Jet (D-IEFA), which suffered an uncontained event in the left engine during a flight from Stuttgart to Bremen.
The aircraft returned to Stuttgart and landed without incident.
They're doing the rounds via email at the moment purporting to be the result of the aircraft flying through the ash cloud. That is not the case.
This NTSB report features the date of the incident - 1 March 2010 - and clearly puts this at least four weeks before any ash cloud disruption occurred.
