India's leading body of pilots is asking the country’s civil aviation regulator to investigate the Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet for electrical issues after one of the planes abruptly deployed an emergency power system midair over the weekend.
I’m 51 this week. My dream as a 8’ish year old (early 80’s) was to fly a 747 for Eastern Airlines. Of course Eastern was US only and didn’t fly internationally. But I became nearsighted and my parents told me I could never become a pilot. I believed them. 😭. I love commercial airplanes all my life… and it saddens me what has happened to Boeing through the years. I’m a poor plebe, but I do own a share… of Airbus. 🤨
Ah this is only a documentary film. I didn’t watch the episode, but it looks like he was referencing the book Flying Blind: The 737 MAX Tragedy and the Fall of Boeing. Which looks like a great read on the topic actually!
