Dad Takes Southwest To Court For Flying 14-Year-Old Runaway
A father has attempted to sue Southwest Airlines after it flew his runaway teen hundreds of miles away from home without his permission. The man, Mr. Ahmed Edwards, has had his case thrown out of court. Here’s why.
...
For the father of the runaway teen, one course of action still remains, and that is to complain to the US Department of Transportation (DoT). For most passengers, however, fighting an airline, in the US at least, is a losing battle from the start.

Hmm... Quite interesting. For 99p a month, I joined. Live coverage of action at LHR in Storm Ciara. Over the course of 2 hours, I saw an A320 shake off a few pieces while landing hard on 27L, requiring it to be closed for FOD inspection. Lots of TOGOs and crosswind landings.

Oops

Over the weekend, a Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747-400’s emergency slide unintentionally deployed at Manchester Airport. This took place just as the catering service vehicle was pulling up to the aircraft. The incident ended up causing delays for flight VS75 with service to Orlando – arriving six hours and 16 minutes late.

An Air Canada flight had to make a heart-stopping emergency landing without a wheel yesterday. The Airbus A319 was heading into Toronto from New York when it was discovered that it no longer had one of its main landing wheels. The aircraft landed safely with all 120 passengers reported to be secure and well.

Omni bends a 767 at SNN: http://avherald.com/h?article=4d449dfc&opt=0

Bent in exactly the same way as a Thomson bird I saw at BRS about ten years ago.

Indeed! Didn't it belong to some sports personality? Golf pro, or something like that?

It was co-owned by an accountant from Blackpool and a local professional golfer but IOM registered for obvious reasons. At the time we parked next to it it was leased to a sports management company and was being used to ferry golf players to a final qualifying tournament before the 2011 Open.

According to local sources, the aircraft was in the process of being sold when the accident occurred. Oops!
A million great ideas...

An unusual incident occurred at Delta Air Lines‘ new hangar at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Earlier this week, there was an accidental foam discharge. This caused the whole hangar and the ground outside to be covered in foam.

An Allegiant Air Airbus A320 was involved in a hair raising near-miss at an Orlando airport, when a tiny Cirrus aircraft taxied right by it, underneath its wing! The pilots reached out to the tower for an explanation, but none was forthcoming. It’s likely that a full investigation will be launched in response to this close call.

For once, that wasn't a man :))

On the night of April 3rd, a naked passenger arrived at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and approached the Spirit Airlines ticket counter. The staff at the airport called authorities who arrived shortly after. After a bit of a kerfuffle, the passenger was arrested.

The airport was probably not busy, but it would be hard to believe that nobody grabbed a smartphone to record that for youtube :|
