I left my heart in the Mojave.

Hello everyone, new here, created an account to post this since I don't see many other places discussing the 2707. I was at the local thrift store(Cleveland, OH, USA) the other day and came across this pretty cool wall art. It's about 5 feet wide and features a blueprint of the 2707 along with a...

American Eagle Flight 5342, a CRJ-700, has collided with a US Army Blackhawk out of Fort Belvoir near Reagan International Airport in D.C. Current reports say both the helicopter, and the two halves of the CRJ, are in the Potomac River. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cy7kxx74yxlt
