Tyre burst on take off. Aircraft was circling to burn off fuel to get down to a safe landing weight before landing.
GAF 14+02 has an interesting flight.
It looked like it was heading home to Cologne from Berlin when it made a detour to Ostend before heading back to Colgne/Bonn.
Someone in the last bread playing with the Q clock/drops picked up a 3:10 difference & linked it to '3:10 to Yuma' and I spotted this USMC Citation departing Yuma heading north.
I was just giving an explanation for the reason it was circling for several hours. There may well be some other reason for the return, arrests etc.
And tomorrow is the anniversary of D-Day.
Today is also the anniversary of that brave guy who stood in front of the tanks in Tianamen Square.
It is remembering these thing that makes history.
