A US Air Force airplane crashed in Afghanistan in Taliban territory few hours ago.
According to the information currently available it seems to be a E-11A BACN aircraft, a specialized military communication aircraft made by Northrop Grumman using a Bombardier Global business jet. Those aircraft hold the record of the most number of total hours flown for a Bombardier Global aircraft .
The BACN (Battlefield Airborne Communications Node) by Northrop Grumman,selected the Bombardier Global aircraft due to its high service ceiling (up to 51,000 ft) and flight duration (up to 12 hours) and multiple electricity sources.
The E-11A first flight was on November 2005 at Miramar, San Diego, California and selected for deployment soon after.
Total crew should be between 2 to 6.
Why i think this: there are 4 E-11A in service. 11-9001,9355,9558 and 9506. The only one that seems similar is 11-9558. Although the tail does look like 350, that does not exist and could just be the bottom of the 8 cut off. Also only 9358 and 9001 have the USAF insignia

Smoke billowed over the check-in desk and departure monitors, enveloping the massive red metal flying carpet art installation suspended above the Terminal 1 entrance hall at Berlin's nearly-complete new airport.
In the otherwise empty hall, about 10 workers looked on as one controlled the smoke machine producing the plumes.
After a few minutes, a piercing fire alarm sounded, and the airport's smoke-sucking extractors roared...

Bombardier: 'Sell is a four-letter word'
Analysts' recommendations should not be taken at face value. - Watch-out

In Oct. 2017, just days after the Airbus-Bombardier joint venture was announced, Fong cut his rating on Bombardier's stock to sell from buy, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. He maintained that rating until the following February.
That's the last time an analyst issued a sell rating on Bombardier. Since Fong's initial downgrade, the stock has shed more than half of its value. And yet, analysts who cover the stock have overwhelmingly advised clients to buy shares.
"Analysts' sentiment has been an almost-perfectly contrarian indicator for [Bombardier] shares over the last fifteen years," said Brian Madden, a Toronto-based portfolio manager and senior vice-president at Goodreid Investment Counsel, in an email to BNN Bloomberg. Madden said it has been about two decades since he last owned the stock.
"Sell is a four-letter word," he added. "Many on the buy side have come to interpret hold as actually meaning sell."
Norman Levine, the managing director of Portfolio Management Corp., similarly said analysts' recommendations should not be taken at face value.
Bombardier: ‘They’re not going to be around‘

"They've been going through a slow-motion death for the past 20 years," said York University economics professor Fred Lazar. "Five years from now, they're not going to be around."
'What it needs to do is retrench and focus on making its existing contracts successful ... and take itself out of the public eye'
Growing up in Sherbrooke, Que., Ross Healy remembers Bombardier Inc. evoking a sense of pride within him.
Living only a 36-minute drive east of Valcourt, where Joseph-Armand Bombardier founded the company that would become synonymous with Quebec ingenuity, Healy, chairman of Strategic Analysis Corp., said he coveted one of the company's snowmobiles. Everyone in Quebec in the mid-1960s, did, and he spent hours riding his through backwood trails with his friends.
"We were all really, really proud of this company and proud to say I'm a Quebecer and they're Quebecers," Healy said.
The one problem with Bombardier's prized invention is that it was easy to replicate. Rival manufacturers did just that in the 1970s and threatened to squeeze Bombardier out of its own market. But in another stroke of innovation, one that would rescue the business and turn it into a global brand, the company shifted to rail and subway manufacturing...

Anatomy of a Lie: How Iran Covered Up the Downing of an Airliner

- For three days, Iranian military officials knew they had shot down a Ukrainian jetliner while the government issued false statements, denying any responsibility.
Within minutes, the top commanders of Iran's Revolutionary Guards realized what they had done. And at that moment, they began to cover it up.
For days, they refused to tell even President Hassan Rouhani, whose government was publicly denying that the plane had been shot down. When they finally told him, he gave them an ultimatum: come clean or he would resign.
Only then, 72 hours after the plane crashed, did Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, step in and order the government to acknowledge its fatal mistake.
The New York Times pieced together a chronology of those three days by interviewing Iranian diplomats, current and former government officials, ranking members of the Revolutionary Guards and people close to the supreme leader's inner circle and by examining official public statements and state media reports....

If Everyone Hates Spirit Airlines, How Is It Making So Much Money?
Inside the loathed company that defies every rule of branding—and logic

- Inside the loathed company that defies every rule of branding—and logic
Last month, Spirit Airlines unveiled a new and improved cabin design. Naturally, a carrier touting its revamped passenger experience hopes for media attention — but maybe not from The Daily Show.
Alas, host Trevor Noah has made Spirit a recurring punchline, reveling in the ultra-low-cost carrier's bargain-basement reputation.
It's so easy to make fun of Spirit (which Noah acknowledged is the show's "favorite airline" for precisely this reason) that the segment about the cabin improvements barely even contained actual jokes. Mostly, Noah and his audience just laughed at the very notion of Spirit doing a better job at anything. "A full-sized tray table is a weird thing to brag about," he said. "But on the bright side, now you have room for the meal they don't give you!"
This is probably not fair to Spirit. But comedy isn't fair — and neither is the way brand reputations get forged in the real world, where marketing campaigns and happy product announcements are not the only factors in play.
And it's not just The Daily Show (or Saturday Night Live or Late Night or any of the other shows that have mocked Spirit). Even in the context of air travel, a category that bristles with consumer umbrage, Spirit has a shabby brand — perceived by many as a bare-bones option of last resort, like some kind of flying Waffle House.
But here's the real punchline: The airline also happens to be a success...

Original notes and articles
My name is Normand Hamel. After a 35 year career in aviation I retired in 2009 to better concentrate on my favourite activities: reading and writing. If you wonder what Run-up Pad means it refers to this special section of a run-up area on an airport that can be heated up in cold temperatures to prevent an aircraft from slipping forward when power is applied to test the engines. It also refers symbolically to the yellow pad I am using to write these articles for which I intend to bring our readers to contribution to test my ideas, like one would test an engine to make sure it works properly.
