Amazing...comparing asiana and the dreamlifter.

amazing not noticing the difference in airports.


amazing not noticing the fact that the dreamlifter could be used again without major mx and the asiana was totaled.

yes, the dreamlifter crew made some big mistakes


but the asiana crew made the costliest in terms of death, hundreds of injuries, and property.

In previous posts I mentioned that there were only three airports in the USA that I would feel comfortable doing purely visual (no electronic aids) approaches and I included San Francisco.

I wouldn't have trusted just my eyes for Wichita, yes.

But the asiana crew and its mistakes is beyond just a few feet, it is gross incompetence in airmanship (keeping the plane flying).


the atlas crew made a navigational mistake of a high order, but no where near the asiana crew.

comparing the two is nuts.
