This article deals solely with U.S. military aviation. It has nothing to do with our commercial or general aviation communities. It should be titled, "US MILITARY AIR SAFETY PANEL...."

Or you could recycle it into other aircraft.

For the distance flown, yes; for the time flown, no.

That one may not fly again.

I guess a good landing is one you can walk away from. Oh, and since the airplane is an E/AB I suppose he can repair it and fly again.

63 metric tons may be a record cargo load for theA330-300P2F but certainly not for cargo aircraft. The 747-8f typically hauls 134 metric tons. The Antonov 225 carries more than 200 metric tons. I don't know how the volume would work out, but both the Boeing and the Antonov could haul the A-330 in pieces. [A-330 operating empty weight is 124 metric tons.]

Yep. Really cool to see the Swedish air force at play!

Excellent piloting job putting it down between the two sets of overhead signs. As the old saying goes, "Any landing you can walk away from is acceptable; any landing where you can fly the plane the next day is excellent."

Looking at the photo in the accompanying article reminded me of a piston twin Dornier built in the late 1930s.

I might be more impressed if they could spell "corona" correctly.
