I haven’t unlocked both yet as I’m trying to save for the next time the New Year’s 2022 glider appears as a glider that can be purchased with rubies (for whatever reasons, the New Year’s 2020, the New Year’s 2021 and the New Year’s 2023 gliders started appearing in the Daily Spotlight of previous tours and I’ve been collecting all of them for collection purposes. The New Year’s 2022 glider is my last missing of the 4 New Year’s glider type though idk when this glider will eventually appear or even appear as a purchasable glider). But according to you MKT players, what would be the best choice here (between the Chain Chomp Chariot or the Rainbow Flappy Wings)?

I don’t know whether if this question has already been asked here or not, but when it comes to this question, 3 accidents comes to my mind:

-Saudia 163: even though I’m pretty sure no explanation is needed, I’m still gonna provide one. Only a couple minutes after taking off from Riyadh, the crew very rapidly started dealing with an in-flight fire. Though they were able to return back to Riyadh and land there safely, for reasons that we will most likely never know, the evacuation of the plane never started which led to all 301 occupants onboard the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar to die.

-Indonesia Air Asia 8501: the A320 involved had a recurring issue with the rudder limiter system. On Flight 8501, this issue happened 4 times. ECAM actions to fix the issue appeared and the pilots followed them, fixing the issue. They did so for the first 3 times (with each time the issue getting fixed). On the 4th time however, the captain, fed up with this recurring issue, decided to try and fix it another way: resetting the FAC circuit breaker, believing it was acceptable to do so in flight after previously seeing a ground personnel doing so while the plane was on the ground. However, this led to key flight-control protections and automations unintentionally disconnecting, causing the pilots to loose situational awareness. Their subsequent improper response led the plane to stall and crash into the sea, killing all 162 occupants onboard.

-Air France 447: flying over the Atlantic Ocean, the plane encountered ice crystals at high altitude. This led to the pitot tube icing, leading to unreliable airspeed data and the autopilot to subsequently disconnect. The pitot tubes were also found to have eventually “de-iced” on their own, leading the airspeed data to return back to normal. But by then, the A330 was already in a stall due to the pilots’ control inputs. Their improper response led the plane to stall and crash into the Atlantic Ocean, killing all 228 occupants onboard.

I don’t know whether if these questions have already been asked here before, but what plane crashes are you surprised ACI still hasn’t covered yet? What title would you give to an episode covering one of those particular plane crashes and, according to you, what are the chances we get to eventually see an ACI episode on one of those particular plane crashes?

Afriqiyah Airways 771, Yemenia 626, Armavia 967, Gulf Air 072, Pakistan International Airlines 8303, Pinnacle Airlines 3701… These are just 6 of the multiple plane crashes I’m surprised ACI still hasn’t covered yet. And to be honest with you all, the fact that some major airline accidents (such as Saudia 163 in S24, Air Algérie 6289, Airblue 202 and Korean Air Cargo 6316 in S26) were covered this late in the show (after 20+ seasons) is also kinda surprising to me. I feel like accidents and crashes such as Saudia 163 and Airblue 202 should’ve been covered in earlier ACI seasons.

That being said, I came up with some potential titles for episodes covering those 6 crashes:
-Afriqiyah Airways 771 (Descent into Disaster),
-Yemenia 626 (The Moroni Approach),
-Armavia 967 (Into the Black Sea),
-Gulf Air 072 (Gulf of Disaster),
-Pakistan International Airlines 8303 (A Deadly Oversight),
Pinnacle Airlines 3701 (Having Fun)/(Having Fun at 41000FT).

As for the chances of seeing ACI covering one of these crashes, only time will tell. I do hope that S27 will cover at least one of these crashes. I particularly hope to see ACI cover Afriqiyah Airways 771, Gulf Air 072 and Pinnacle Airlines 3701 since I believe these crashes can make a great episode for a future season.

Note: I just took those 6 plane crashes as an example. You can of course choose other plane crashes that have surprisingly not been covered by ACI yet.
