Aviation news

 

 Been an odd week aviation wise.

An Polar Airlines Antonov AN24RV with 34 passengers managed to land on a frozen river to the right of the runway at  Zyryanka Airport.  Luckly there were no injuries.

 And at Tokyo Narita airport an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing Dreamliner turned left instead of right when entering a taxiway.  It met another Dreamliner coming the other way head-on.  Both aircraft stopped without incident but it mean a fair delay for both aircraft while it was towed back to clear the Jetstar aircraft who was going the right way along the taxiway.

I can forgive many things but a pilot getting left and right wrong worries me.......
