LATAM Airbus A320 Crash Into Fire Truck in Peru
On 18th November, a LATAM Airlines Airbus A320 collided with a fire truck while it was accelerating for takeoff from Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima, Peru. Two firefighters died in the incident, a third firefighter was taken to a nearby hospital with serious injuries. This accident marks the 1st ever-hull loss of an Airbus A320neo.
The LATAM Chile Airbus A320neo with registration CC-BHB was accelerating on Lima’s runway 16 as flight LA2213 from Lima to Juliaca when it collided with a fire truck, which crossed the active runway without authorization.

Video: Flying on the New Dassault Falcon 6X – TransAtlantic to Paris
At the end of NBAA 2022, I hopped on the new experimental Dassault Falcon 6X, the latest Falcon jet transatlantic from Orlando to Paris. It was my first time flying on a private jet across the Atlantic and what an experience it was!
The Falcon 6X is in a new category of Business Aviation: the Ultra Widebody business jet. It flies at a top speed of Mach 0.90 and has 5,500nm (10,186 km) range. My flight to Paris was 8 hours overnight flight. We used just 4,500 ft of runway out of Orlando Executive Airport.
