Felt like posting. Here’s a decommissioned Avro RJ100 at Cranfield Airport. The airport is home to an MRO facility specializing in this aircraft type. There are a few of these old birds stored there, likely as parts

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Everyone should read this. Safety related investigations in both aviation and other industries are always there to understand what happened, why and how we can improve. We can not let politics and biases get in the way.

Sully (the pilot that landed successfully in the Hudson many years ago) is quoted today as saying
“We have the obligation to learn from every failure and improve.”
That right there is why aviation is safe and roads are not.

P4-RLA, an A319ACJ, pictured at Vienna Airport in March. This aircraft seems to spend much of its time on the ground, only flying a couple times a month.
I've found one article saying the aircraft is (was?) owned by a Ukrainian billionaire: antikor.com.ua/en/articles/...
