FACH s/n 985 [Boeing 767-300ER] arriving into Auckland as flight FACH985. May 1, 2020.

This was its second visit to Auckland during the early stages of the pandemic. A few days prior, it had come in from Santiago for a tech stop and a refuel before continuing to Beijing. It returned on May 1 with much needed vaccines* for Chile.

I'd be lying if I said that seeing FACH985 didn't bring strong emotions at the time. For all intents and purposes, when I last went to Chile, I'd said I'd come back in about 2 years. It's been 6 years and counting.

Note also the 90th anniversary decal on the tail (1930-2020).

*this is what I was told, dunno how true it is. May have just been picking up masks and ventilators

Boeing 767 aircraft crashed nose down on runway after forced emergency landing

A FedEx Airlines Boeing 767 cargo plane landed at Istanbul airport on Wednesday without its front landing gear but managed to stay on the runway and avoided casualties, Turkey’s transport ministry said.

Video footage showed sparks flying and smoke billowing as the front of the plane hit the runway before being doused with firefighting foam.

The Boeing 767 aircraft, flying from Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport, told the control tower at Istanbul airport that its landing gear struts had failed to open and it landed as instructed by the tower, the ministry said in a statement.

Airport rescue and fire crews were alerted before the landing, but no one was injured. The ministry did not give a reason for the malfunction. FedEx said in a statement that it was coordinating with investigators and would “provide additional information as it becomes available.”

The aircraft involved is nearly 10 years old and is a Boeing 767 freighter, one of the most common freighter aircraft based on the 1980s-built 767 passenger model.

The runway was temporarily closed to air traffic, but other runways at the airport were still operating normally, airport operator IGA said.

The news comes a week after an emergency plane that derailed a Delta Air Lines flight shortly after takeoff from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York reportedly washed ashore near the beach house of a lawyer whose firm is suing Boeing over safety concerns.

Had to change planes in ATL (Atlanta). Missed the connection, but was rebooked on N83MH, a Boeing 767-432(ER). Interesting plane. Economy (at least where I sat) was 3/3/3 seating.

Thursday 7 November 2002 - SFO to Dulles and onwards to Germany

7 November 2002 EN  Hi everyone.  Twenty years ago today, I flew not only to Frankfurt am Main, but I also flew farther to Nuremberg and took the train to Hamburg Hbf.  I had my passport and rail pass ready.  You could not tell the excitement to be going back in Europe again.

DE  Hallo allerseits. Heute vor 20 Jahren bin ich nicht nur nach Frankfurt am Main geflogen, sondern bin noch weiter nach Nürnberg geflogen und mit dem Zug nach Hamburg Hbf gefahren. Ich hatte meinen Reisepass und Bahnpass bereit. Man konnte die Aufregung, wieder nach Europa zurückzukehren, nicht spüren.

DK  Hej allesammen. For tyve år siden i dag fløj jeg ikke kun til Frankfurt am Main, men jeg fløj også længere til Nürnberg og tog toget til Hamburg Hbf. Jeg havde mit pas og togkort klar. Man kunne ikke mærke spændingen over at tage tilbage til Europa igen.

SE  Hej allihopa. För tjugo år sedan idag flög jag inte bara till Frankfurt am Main, utan jag flög också längre till Nürnberg och tog tåget till Hamburg Hbf. Jag hade mitt pass och tågpass redo. Man kunde inte säga spänningen över att åka tillbaka till Europa igen.

FR  Salut tout le monde. Il y a vingt ans aujourd'hui, je n'ai pas seulement pris l'avion pour Francfort-sur-le-Main, mais j'ai également pris l'avion plus loin pour Nuremberg et pris le train pour Hambourg Hbf. J'avais mon passeport et mon passe ferroviaire prêts. Vous ne pouviez pas dire l'excitation de retourner en Europe.

Good morning!  I had spent the night at my parent's house in Los Altos, so that my mother would take me to SFO airport.  I did not eat much for breakfast, just coffee and toast.  I had my bags packed, my small green North Face bag, and my brand new roller bag, a spruce green bag with red stitching "Rick Steves" as I bought it from the Rick Steves Europe travel site.  I also had bought my rail pass from the Rick Steves website, and also received some rail maps for the journey.

About 5:30 AM, my mother took me to SFO along I-280, as that was the less travelled way, as compared to US-101.  We also went along I-380 and just a little south, to Terminal 3.  That is where the domestic flights for United Airlines at the time departed from.  I think we arrived around 6:15 AM, plenty of time to check in.  I said goodbye to my mother, and I promised her I would buy a Schwibb-bogen from Nuremberg, which were those Christmas candle whirligigs, that one would likely find at the Handwerkerhof close to Nürnberg Hbf.  Then I checked in my roller bag, and went along with my backpack.  At the time, I did not have a video camera, as the old one, a Canon 8 mm with stereo sound, had worn itself out, and I just did not have any desire then, to carry so much weight.  So I had just audiotapes, 35 mm film and appropriate batteries.  I did not have any liquids in my luggage so I did not have to worry.  I had to take of my shoes to get through security, as well as take off my jacket and show any electronic devices.  It took about five minutes to go through.

My flight to Washington Dulles would not board until about 8 AM.  In the meantime, I tuned into 94.9 FM, and as it was a Thursday, the Dog House was playing.  Elvis (Medina) had made quite a funny prank call, it was a long lost relative, but it kind of went downhill.  

The plane boarded about 8:00 and departed about 8:45 AM.  I was in a two-aisle 767 plane, I think I might have been in an aisle seat in the economy class.  At that time, the individual entertainment was sort of "bronze age" as compared to the stone age where there was only one choice of entertainment.  At least this time, there were four channels to choose from, and maybe ten audio channels.  There was nothing particularly noteworthy.  The flight took off on time.  The weather was decent, low 40s, and at Washington Dulles, it was in the low 60s and partly cloudy.  I think the plane landed at Dulles Terminal C around 3 PM.

I did not go outside the Terminals C or D, as I did not find at the time that there was anything interesting to see at terminals A or B.  The interterminal mobile lounges were still the only way to go from one terminal to the other.  You could tell the ones that just went from one terminal to the other, from the ones that could raise themselves to the aircraft boarding level.  I have not rode on the ones with the shark fins, since April 1983 when I first flew out of Washington Dulles.

I had a snack at Washington Dulles, in Terminal C.  Then the rest of the time, I listened to the local radio stations for Washington DC.  I tried not to record too much, as I had to save enough tape for radio stations in Germany.  My flight would board around 4:15 PM and take off around 5:15 PM.  In the USA, in general, passports are not stamped on exiting, but they are for entering, at least they used to be.  The flight to Frankfurt Rhein Main airport was a Boeing 777, larger than the 767 from SFO.  My seating was decent, considering it was in Economy class.  The food was okay, nothing noteworthy.  Breakfast was just a pastry and a yogurt as well as coffee.

Please tune in again, for the remainder of the journey, on 8th November 2002, when I fly from Frankfurt am Main to Nuremberg, take the U2 all the way to Hbf and take the ICE train to Hamburg via Würzburg, Kassel, Göttingen and Hannover.  And a couple of new songs I heard that day on HR3 (89.3 FM in Frankfurt), have stuck in my head ever since.

Gute Nacht!

There is something very special about NTSB transcripts. Like, this is pretty funny, but then you realise it's at the bottom of a report about how these two gentlemen accidentally piloted a 767 directly into a marsh.
