Kalitta flies US evacuees back from China

Facing forward or backwards?

The asiles look really narrow. Will the food and beverage cart fit?

Facing forwards. The lowered roof pictured is the bottom of the flight deck, accessed by ladder. There's a slide up there...

Beverage cart is in the picture.
 
Who drew the short stick and had to fly the Kung-Flu back to the US? Also interesting, they chartered a cargo plane to fly the 201 peeps back.



Eh, I made my airplane spotter YouTube debut the other day. It was a wind sheary day and landed a little long.
Hmmmm, just thought of an idea for a new thread in the video section. (It’s gotta be from a spotter and not your bloke on the ground.)

Edit: quoted the wrong post, going for the post commenting on missing the touch down zone. (I’m a bit knackered, binge watching old episodes of Top Gear)
 
Isn’t touchdown zone defined differently for different airlines? At my regional it was first 1,500 ft. At current shop it’s the first 1/3 of runway or 3,000 ft whichever is less.
 
Better than landing in the danger zone :)

Or the Cone Zone
