I think the A350 is landing on 34R, which only has taxiways on one side and not the other, so no aircraft should be crossing it.
Is the coast guard aircraft waiting to take-off when the landing A350 practically crashed on top of it?
1998, PEK-URC on a Xinjiang Airlines Il-86.
I think it was my second plane ride ever.
Booked DL PHL-BOS, which was cancelled an hour before departure as the aircraft went tech.
App gave options of PHL-DTW-BOS or PHL-ATL-BOS. I chose the latter just for the fun of it.
Lots of people here are solely focused on large cities, or assume the HSR network works like a subway where trains all run at the same speed along the same line. There are two types of HS trains in China. One are so-called "flagship" trains, meaning those stopping at very few cities (mostl...

Actually, I didn't want to lead the discussion into that direction but I guess it's legitimate to ask if they possibly odered these two airframes to learn something from it? Well, not for the Y-8, since - as you wrote - flight test were completed in 1985 and these two Hercules were acquired in 1988...
Jump to postImproved versions of the Y-8?. Yes, specifically the Y-8A, which was designed for carrying the S-70s.

A negative test 48 hours prior to your flight to China is pretty much all you need.
Everything else is basically back to pre-covid policies.
I think most city water supply is potable out of the treatment factory. However, you're never sure what's going on in the pipes. Some several-decade-old piping with rust and seepage could really ruin it. Also, there's this: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10182591/Japanese-hospital-used-toi...

I don't know which one would be the smallest though.
SHA-LAX on MU MD-11.
This was before PVG was built and all long haul flights to/from Shanghai moved there, so I guess it's not coming back.
Largest: A380
Smallest: Cape Air Cessna 402
So is this decided by how beautiful the airport terminal buildings themselves are?

US-China trade is about 8.5x the amount of US-India trade. That alone generates much more business traffic.
Plus there are a lot more Chinese tourists than Indian tourists going abroad, at least pre-COVID.
Chengdu Airlines SHA-CTU, was going out of my way to fly the ARJ-21. The day before departure saw it was swapped for an A320, which was again heavily delayed in the morning.
Ended up cancelling my ticket and flew Shanghai Airlines on a B738.
Domestic A380 didn't work so well for CZ. SHA cannot support the jet. PVG is kinda too far from the city center so PEK-PVG failed quickly. I've taken the CZ's A380 on PEK-CAN/KMG runs.
