Hi,
You have probably heard about the visit of the AN-225 at Schiphol during Christmas. Not only heavy stuff at Schiphol, the AN-225 proved to be too heavy for ATCBOX. It caused a record in radar viewers and stream listeners which overloaded our server for a short while.....
Anyway, member jekkers works at Schiphol and was able to take some very nice photos, even in the dark. Thanks for sharing jekkers!

Hi,
With still hundreds of photos to add to our gallery with the problem that's it's impossible to point out every new photo, I got the idea to make a new album in the gallery in which I will put new photos initially and in time they will be placed into the proper albums.
Just finished uploading a few which are certainly worth looking at.
See this
new photo album and click on the desired sub-album.

Photos added: Netjet Hawker collision with a glider

Hi,
Member Tailgunner_joe emailed me 3 photos of a Netjet Hawker which collided midair with a glider, the story behind:
All Safe After Collision At 16,000 Feet
This is nothing short of amazing... as everyone is safe after a glider collided with a business jet traveling at 16,000 feet over the Pine Nut Mountains of western Nevada Monday. Akihiro Hirao of Japan was flying his Schleicher ASH 27 glider over the mountains at about 3:10 pm just as a Hawker 800XP was starting its descent into the Carson City airport. The glider struck the jet's nose -- sending both planes briefly out of control.
As Hirao attempted to bail out of his stricken plane, which lost a wing in the collision -- the pilot of the NetJets Hawker was dealing with a shattered instrument panel. Passengers onboard the charted jet from San Diego say she was able to stabilize the jet quickly, after banking sharply immediately after the impact and descending several thousand feet.
Local media reports state Hirao jumped from the glider, and parachuted into the mountains. He was found by Washoe Tribal Police at about 5:45 pm - two-and-a-half hours after the incident began -- walking near the mouth of Lone Pine Canyon .
"He has no apparent injuries but they will take him to get checked out," said Lyon County Sheriffs Department spokesman Lt. Jeff Page. "He hit a jet at 300 knots and had the presence of mind to bail out He is a very lucky man."
Meanwhile, onboard the Hawker the plane's pilot set up for an emergency landing at Carson City . The pilot circled Washoe Lake several times in order to burn off fuel, and then executed what sounds like a flawless wheels-up landing at the airport.
"I've had wheels-down landings that were a lot rougher," said Hawker passenger Steve DiZio.
Pieces of the glider were found to be embedded in the Hawker's radome. The unidentified pilot of the charter plane suffered a cut between her lip and chin -- but no one else was injured in the ordeal.
"This woman is a miracle worker," passenger Evy Chipman of Incline Village said of the pilot.
Sounds like there were plenty of miracles going around...
