Apparently they missed a turn onto the runway and went down a taxiway leading to a storage / maintenance are for small & private planes. The 747 has done 109,000 hours and probably will be scrapped.

Strange ! Nothing reported on whether the building is damaged or not ?

.......

A British Airways plane bound for London crashed into a building at OR Tambo Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Images from Twitter appear to show the plane was taxiing when one of its wings sliced through a brick building on the edge of the runway.

Passengers on the plane reported on Twitter that no one had been hurt in Sunday night's incident.

A spokesman for the airport confirmed the plane had been damaged and said all passengers were being taken off the flight to spend the night in a hotel and that the plane would not be departing.

She could not confirm that there were no injuries.

The BBC has different pictures taken from further down the plane!

Two men killed in gyrocopter crash in Kinglake National Park

A MELBOURNE pilot and a man believed to be an overseas tourist have died in a gyrocopter crash in the state's northeast.

Their bodies were found in the aircraft's wreckage in thick bushland in Kinglake National Park about 7am today following a widespread search involving police and SES members last night and this morning.

Benalla Acting Snr Sergeant Colin Anderson said the gyrocopter took off from the Yarra Valley conference centre on the Melba Hwy, near Dixons Creek, carrying the two men at about 5.20pm yesterday.

The pilot was a 51-year-old Melbourne man.

UK marks 25 years since Lockerbie bombing

BRITISH Prime Minister David Cameron has paid tribute to the "fortitude and resilience" of people affected by the Lockerbie bombing.

He said the 1988 atrocity, which killed 270 people, remained "one of the worst aviation disasters in history and the deadliest act of terrorism" committed in the United Kingdom.

Hi there!

Does somebody know what happened at Heathrow today evening? At around 1945UTC, three planes couldn't land at 27R, they did a go around at about 3 miles from T/D. Then every other planes coming to 27R diverted to 27L. Now it seems operating normally again.

It could have been weather related;

EGLL 142220Z 21017KT 9000 -RA SCT018 B...
METAR: EGLL 142220Z 21017KT 9000 -RA SCT018 BKN024 10/09 Q1018 (latest metar I was able to get)

The report was made 24 minutes ago, at 22:20 UTC
Wind 17 kt from south/southwest
Temperature 10°C
Humidity 93%
Pressure 1018 hPa
Visibility 9000 m
Scattered clouds at a height of 1800 ft
Broken clouds at a height of 2400 ft
light rain


Hard to tell from here since I'm in Australia.

London Stanstead airport closed to inbound flights due to damaged ILS equipment and poor visibility for VFR

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-25316976

says

"No flights are being allowed to land at Stansted Airport because the airport's landing equipment has been damaged.

Air accident investigators are investigating an "incident" at the airport earlier in which part of the instrument landing system was damaged by an inbound flight.

Due to the damage, and because of fog and poor visibility, no planes are being allowed to land at the airport.

The plane involved was a Gulfstream G550 jet, which landed safely."

Fog has now lifted, so flights are landing

There's a G5 Pilot looking for a new job!

It's amazing.... how did this pilot ever get such a serious a job with Boeing ? They landed unauthorized and unknown to them at the wrong Airport ... this could have caused them to crash. There are only 4 of these Dreamlifters ever built, and the loss of one of them could have been a huge setback for the 787 program.

Incidents

On November 20th, 2013 at approximately 9:30 pm CST, a Dreamlifter with registration N780BA and operated by Atlas Air mistakenly landed at Colonel James Jabara Airport. The large cargo plane was scheduled to land at McConnell Air Force Base, nine miles south, to pick up some fuselage parts from Spirit Aerosystems for the assembly of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner in Seattle, Washington. The plane successfully took off at 1:15 pm CST on November 21 then landed at McConnell AFB 20 minutes later.

Is that a 27mph flight ?

[1090 MHz]

the pilots communicated with a wrong tower, ignored GPS maps, used a wrong landing procedure, so on. imagime what could be if some plain was on their real runway
