hl5214_0802.jpgHere's one that I certainly did not know about when I first spotted it. A Korean registered Jetstream 31 with Arabic writing? Taxiing around Zurich Kloten airport with an open cowling? -Strange indeed. It was probably in for maintenance at ZRH

1994jpcolga.jpg
1994jpcolga.jpgThis photo was taken inside one of American Airlines' maintenance hangars in LaGuardia. The MD80 was brought in there for post-crash investigation and as is usually done after an accident, hide it from the passengers flying into and out of the airport. When I walked inside the airplane, about half way down the fuselage I felt a hump under my feet, that is where the fuselage buckled as the airplane ran off the end of the runway (I believe it was runway 31?), coming to rest on a dike. There were no fatalities luckily. For those that know me these days, obviously I don't wear my hair like that anymore haha
