From 2016 (YouTube Edition): Sit Back, Relax, and Let’s Go Flying With “FIFI”… Our ANN video crew took the opportunity at EAA AirVenture 2016 to capture a lot of video of the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) B-29 named “FIFI”. Our montage of this airplane includes lots of scenes on the ground, in the air, and onboard the airplane. As you watch the scenes be sure to note such things as the amount of aileron control wheel motion necessary just to get this lumbering giant into a turn. You might also take a look at the flight engineers panel to see…

An Edelweiss Airbus A340 Recently, Edelweiss celebrated their inaugural flight from Zurich to Seattle using an Airbus A340 (4 engines 4 long haul). I was double excited not only to see a new international carrier start service at my home airport, but they are also using an AvGeek favorite: the A340. Francis Zera (our Editor-At-Large and Director of Photography) and I tag teamed the event and I would say we had a pretty good time. The fire trucks, ready to go! Covering an inaugural arrival has become pretty routine: Decorations at the gate (check), you get to go on the…
London Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 4 was evacuated on Monday evening, September 8, after emergency services responded to what officials described as a “possible hazardous materials incident.” Firefighters and paramedics were deployed to the site, and passengers were asked not to travel to the terminal.

Starting this winter, Air Caraïbes—an airline that gets little attention internationally—will begin a brand-new very short widebody service. It will operate triangularly: Paris Orly-Samana-Santo Domingo-Paris Orly. The Samana-Santo Domingo leg is entirely within the Dominican Republic, with no traffic rights available. It may appear in my Weekly Routes article (see the most recent edition here). The 389-seat Airbus A350-900 will be used, with ch-aviation showing that the carrier has four of them. Samana-Santo Domingo has a 40-minute block time. It will cover just 50 nautical miles (93 km) each way. Despite these things, it will not be the world’s shortest…

Emirates has announced that, by the end of the year, all of its Airbus A380 flights to and from New York JFK Airport will be operated by planes that are configured with the Dubai-based UAE flag carrier’s widely revered new premium economy cabin. At present, only one of its three daily rotations features this layout. The introduction of premium economy on Emirates’ remaining rotations between its main hub at Dubai International Airport (DXB) and New York JFK, one of which has an intermediate stopover in Italy, will see passengers given the choice of four classes of travel on these flights.…
