FR24 is showing OB134

I'm confused: FR is Ryanair and who is the other; and what does the message mean?

Another example of outstanding research by the BBC

"Bird strikes usually involve airborne animals being sucked into aircraft engines during take-off and landing."

The Daily Mail contained a cracking statement. "A passenger jet was forced to dump fuel and return to Liverpool Airport this afternoon after suffering a bird strike on take-off". Oh dear, when are the going to learn that a B737 cannot dump fuel?

They should raise the minima to allow for the jump height of a 'roo. It is an obvious obstacle.

Actually, it did dump fuel. Through the engines, relatively slowly
