"On April 2, 1997, a Malaysia Airlines -200ER named "Super Ranger" broke the great circle "distance without landing" record for an airliner by flying eastward from Boeing Field, Seattle to Kuala Lumpur, a distance of 10,823 nautical miles (20,044 km), in 21 hours and 23 minutes".

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45453076 Why YEMEN? Quoting: Lamplite It was the last known direction of travel and it's a shithole of illegal activity, so Ive read. We also did some mysterious unexplained bombing and killing over there a couple months ago. Or somebody did. Aside from that, it just stood out to me when I was thinking about it. |
