In the video, this is WAY more impressive (note the missing tail rotor too)
Now there´s an emergency landing: even respecting the stop sign!
Today a helicopter made an emergency landing at a New Jersey cargo port. No reports of injuries on the two aboard and on the ground.
The rotorcraft was on a maintenance flight when the pilot reported a possible engine issue, prompting the emergency landing at Bayonne Pier, as reported by AP.
Helicopter was a Bell 206 Long Ranger IV (Reg. “N217MH”) and is employed by a sightseeing operator. [FlyNYON]

The NTSB has completed its on-scene investigative activities for the Nov. 1 crash of a Learjet 60 near Greenacres, Florida, with the exception of the excavation of the impact site, which remains ongoing. The cleared areas include Green Acres Mobile Home Community, Reading Truck, Silver Oaks Plaza, Value Store It Self Storage and John I. Leonard High School.
Investigators have recovered and identified portions of the aircraft, including components from both wings, both engines, the flight deck, vertical stabilizer, horizontal stabilizer, left elevator, aileron sections and multiple flap track assemblies. Some of the recovered parts have been sent to the NTSB laboratories in Washington, D.C. for closer inspection.
If you have found or collected any debris from the crash site, please do not keep it or attempt to move, alter or dispose of it. We ask that you contact the NTSB at [email protected] to arrange its recovery. Please include a photo of the debris, if possible, in your email. Recovering all available wreckage is critical to the investigation and helping to determine the cause of the crash.

These aren’t coming back.
Look at the line of AirBridgeCargo 747s. Still parked. Same place, same condition, almost five years later. Sanctions cut the parts and the support. Certification lapsed. Crews moved on. AOC gone since late 2024.
I still remember when these were the ones you saw on the ramp moving big freight. Now they’re just parked.
It’s a visible example of how sanctions and support cut-off can freeze an entire fleet.

A potential mid-air collision narrowly avoided at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on Saturday, thanks to excellent work by ATC.
Air France AF028 (A350-900 F-HUVK), departing runway 24L for Papeete, began turning left.
At the same time, American Airlines AA1660 (A321-200), departing runway 25R for Dallas–Fort Worth, also turned left, putting the two aircraft on conflicting flight paths as they climbed out.
ATC immediately intervened, issuing instructions to both crews to turn away from each other. The aircraft reportedly came within just 400 feet vertically of one another.
You can hear the pressure in the Air France crew's voice as the controller gives them time to collect themselves and correctly read back the instructions before addressing the possible pilot deviation and providing a number to call.
Excellent situational awareness from the controller.

In addition to the team’s No. 6 opposing solo pilot, who flew during the 2026 season, the Blue Angels also quietly removed their Public Affairs Officer (PAO), Capt. Danielle Cribb, last month.

The NTSB just closed the book on Southwest's scary 2024 "Dutch roll" flight, and the cause was a storm days earlier.
A 737 MAX parked in New Orleans was hit by gusts up to 84 mph. Boeing's manual called for a special inspection after extreme wind, but Southwest had no system to flag it, so the plane kept flying for more than a week. A test done in maintenance was also signed off as passed even though video showed the rudder only moving one way.
On a Phoenix to Oakland flight with 181 people on board, the plane started rocking side to side. No one was hurt. Boeing now requires the inspection after winds of 75 mph and Southwest added new checks.
