Something that popped up on Hulu recently and that could be used for an Aerospace night, especially the pressure dome repair.

Gives you a clear idea of the complexity of a modern passenger jet (any idea which carrier that is?)

Air Seychelles, the aircraft struck a barrier fence while being ground handled.

They had to use an Antonov 124 to bring in the repair parts.
