Children in the Cockpit: The Crash of Aeroflot Flight 593
01/01/2024 - (Hadi Ahmad) The idea of having children visit the cockpit of an aircraft raises few eyebrows nowadays due to the assumption that the plane is not in flight and the pilots, who are not occupied with controlling the plane, have allowed the visit.
