Air France flight #AF258 from Paris to Ho Chi Minh City made a U-turn over Belarus. Air France flight #AF258 from Paris CDG to Ho Chi Minh City was 2 hours into flight, over Belarus when Russia didn’t give clearance for entry into Russian airspace. The Boeing 777-300ER circled Belarus for over 30 minutes at 32,000 feet before decision was took to return to France. The captain told the passengers that flight #AF258 was going to return to Paris.

Air France made an IATA winter flight route change and failed to inform Russian ATC. When the AF B777 turned up at Dovsk, Belarus with an invalid flight plan, Russian ATC said nyet to entry. A lesson to AF to get its act together.

Russians are too popular in most corners because they can do it. The next time Aeroflot seeks permission to fly through the CADIZ we should deny the bastxxxs entry ano send them back to Murmansk.

Unimpressed with Russia, as always. A rogue state. Remember KAL 007, and MH 17, both shot out of the sky by Russian military.

IMHO the whole KAL 007 incident looked suspiciously like an attempt to probe Soviet air defenses during the test of a new type of missile. The whole thing was very suspicious, but all those deaths enabled Reagan to get is cruise and Pershing II missiles installed in a reluctant Europe.

The MH17 tragedy appears more clear cut.

As predictably unpredictable as ever, and the origin of the term "Crazy Ivan".

You seem to be a very angry person relax all you tension can hurt you physically. Iinbb all your posts are critical of others. How do you respond to Squawks about you. Anger begets anger. There is no place for it in the cockpit.
