The NTSB has released the preliminary report into UPS 2976 with these powerful images.

Gyroscopic precession may have been a factor as the engine pylon is under a lot of lateral force during rotation due to this physics principle.

Snecma C.450 Coléoptère

The French Air Force wanted an aircraft capable of vertical take-off (VTO) and the Coléoptère was an extraordinary project of the 1950s and 60s.

My employer approved my request to match our donation to the Central TX Food Bank. This means a total of $855 went to the food bank and $427.50 went to Meals on Wheels for a grand total of $1,282.50 or atleast 5,130 meals were made possible thanks to the Fancakes!

THANK YOU!!!

Mystery Movie Night October Edition went very well!

Most importantly, Fancake Airlines raised $855 during the stream to be donated to the Central TX Food Bank and Meals on Wheels to help anyone experiencing food insecurity.

Although the Republican controlled government shutdown has ended, I continue to not recommend anyone to fly until the end of November.

Thanksgiving is the most busy time to travel by air.

If you are able, I’d recommend postponing air travel plans this Thanksgiving.

You are cleared for an unrestricted climb to the heavens.

7 lives were lost today. The 3 crew members on board #UPS2976 and 4 people on the ground.

11 others suffered severe injuries.

Until the government shutdown controlled by Republicans is over, I do not recommend anyone to fly.

It has put extreme mental and financial stress upon ATC and TSA who continue to have to work without pay.

They are responsible for keeping our skies safe and Congress have put us at risk.
