This is what happens when you let the FA have the temperature control.

If they were bombing the runway, how'd they hit planes at the terminal?

(It's a rhetorical ?)

Well it is the RSAF don't ya know. Report was 20 Sorties to take out the runways.......So I'm sure there's all sorts of craters around

As any former USAF IP who trained their Air Force pilots.

"Good enough, lets hit the O club!"

What say you, @Hacker15e ?

 

[Cptnchia]

"close enough" only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades...and RSAF bombing sorties!

T-Tops Already been done....That concept is so 1980's......

I would put money down that the bomber's pilot had ridden a -200 in the middle east during summer time. It would be my first pick to blow up if that happened to me. Torture.

Hey, most of the RSAF guys would fit in well with this airline crowd. They love to play dress up and are really uncomfortable with more than 30 degrees of bank.

They should have hit the 747-200s then. Damn Saudia flights, 400 of your closest friends in Riyadh in July, I mean why turn on the Pacs

 

[FloridaLarry]

They thought the -200 was sized just for diminutive fighter pilots.

Felix is actually a pretty "progressive" carrier in Yemen. I did some research into them a few months back and went thru their website. Very Westernized and professional operationally and in their marketing. Looks FAR less sketchy then the national carrier Yemenia. I hope they can recover from this, they serve a lot of destinations with a small fleet of RJs so I can't imagine they can pick up the slack from losing one of them.

Then again, it looks like running the airline may be the least of their immediate concerns...

Yes because the first thing the Houthi's will be looking for after peace is reasonably priced fares on modern aircraft to vacation gems throughout the Middle East.

Saudi prince offers a new Bentley to each participating aircrew member in the Yemen air strikes.

USAF offers its people $3.50/day per diem when in the combat zone. Hmmmmm

I know a guy(American) that flew 200's in Yemen a few years ago. I'll send this to him and see if he has any time in the one in the picture.
