I wanted to mention a few things about the channel, good and bad. 1. As always, more real life content would be great. Simulator can only take you so far. 2. I am not quite a fan of the new thumbnail style, but I understand if that's what you need to please the algorithm. 3. I really appreciate the transparency always given, especially with your sources! Not many will openly share their use of the AI search assistant. 4. Finally, major respect for continuing to post daily for so long. Amazing dedication, keep it up!

The A340 hasn’t had a single death from air accidents or failures. Pretty impressive, the tortoise wins the race, slow and steady.
@Too_Silly72013 сағат бұрын
By the end of 2021, the global A340 fleet had completed more than 2.5 million flights over 20 million block hours and carried over 600 million passengers with *no fatalities*

Singapore never flew from London to Perth, not least with the A340-500. The Perth-London route is now flown with a 787, not an A350. The cabin shot you showed when you mentioned the corpse was from an A300/A310 cabin, not an A340. And the A380 was significantly more successful than the A340-500, selling more than 9x as many airframes. Also, the A340 HAS crashed (Airfrance 358) but it has never had a fatality from a crash. The picture you showed was from an Etihad A340-600 which crashed into a thrust deflection barrier during aircraft testing because of pilot error. I like your channel but clearly it took me longer to write this comment than it took you to make this video.

Etops is cancer, period. The ignorance of this society annoys me. The effects of asymmetric thrust and the very real possibility of the second engine breaking Are all worth it because of fuel savings. Dude a fully laden 747-400 can still Cruise at FL300 on 3 engines. Thats safety, thats conservative design, thats your children certainly coming Home Safe. Besides modern planes All look Alike, being on airports makes you sad that todays flying nerds wont ever experience the 90s. You guys missed sometinhg.
