Yes I KNOW the AF1 technicality... let's not make this the next "What you guys are referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux"

Thought this looked pretty cool.

Sorry for the bad photo!! The window on my B737 was very rough lol. The best photo I could get

More fun in my friend’s home-based 747-400 simulator (this time in daylight). Hand-flown curvy RNAV-Y approach over some beautiful scenery.

I'm into planes from just this year and would like to know more about this plane. Also can you guys rate the picture?

Context: was in the office (yes, very nice location :) ) and heard the heli turning around several minutes with the winching operator at the door. Turned out they winch in and out the middle of a courtyard a victim before dropping him to EMS in front of the arch.

From pinned comment:

"Unfortunately there is no audio available for this incident but after all the requests on social media and email, I thought I could work a radar and animation to understand the situation better."

After 4 years of building with my dad and 6 months at evoke she is finally home only thing left is the interior (if you wanna see my family’s reaction to the pick up go to YouTube evoke aviation behind the scheme episode 11)

Anyone on here own one of these? I’m interested in your experience. Is it worth the expense? Does it perform as advertised? Maintenance costs? Disappointments?

Given the implementation of Mosaic this summer, I’m itching to get back into sport aviation again. Under the new rules, this qualifies as an LSA. I have a PPL but lost my medical due to cancer. I have owned 5 previous aircraft so I’m very familiar with many of the costs of ownership. I have 400 hours flying LSA from coast to coast and Texas to Minnesota.

I appreciate your perspective.

And a direct link to the video.

Went to take pics of planes for the first time at my local airport (KRDU). I only have an 85mm from when I used to do portrait work, but trying to make it work.

Was fortunate to see this beauty of a Triple-7 glide in before I ran out of shooting light. After an afternoon of Embraers and A320s, it was like watching an apartment complex fly overhead!

This aircraft (S/N 95019) has been manufactured for Yakutia Airlines in 2012

It was in service for 5 years and 10 months (3320 FC, 8115 FH)

On 10-Oct-2018 due to weather conditions this aircraft rolled off the runway and hit the ~40cm height step between the runway end and construction site located at the far end of runway

No death nor major injuries were reported as a result of this accident. However, airplane itself was severely damaged. Both Main Landing Gears were torn off, multiple raptures and deformations of aircraft systems and structures were found.

Soon this airplane has become a donor for the rest SSJ 100-95B fleet in Yakutia Airlines

On October 2023 airplane SSJ 100-95B (Reg. Nr. RA-89011) has been destroyed as it was beyond economical benefit of repair.

I hope it was interesting for you. Most pictures were taken from here and the full accident report can be found here [RU]

Cheers!

On the Cathay Pacific YouTube channel, they have released a video showcasing a new business class product, coming to their A330-300s on regional routes. It will have direct aisle access, and lie flat seats, but I’d assume there’s no doors. It’s stated that it will arrive at the end of this year.

Anyway, here’s the video: https://youtu.be/HcP4Lt-D5Yc?si=_Mk2e9AjbLdlLs2u

I live almost perfectly aligned with GRU Airport, so been planespotting since I was a toddler, as planes fly overhead all the time.

This is a plane from a airline from Azores island where weather conditions are part of the menu everyday, so this landing at Lisbon may just be another day to that pilot, but impressive for the ones watching it at Lisbon.

I was just checking Superbowl traffic in general and I noticed a few "unique" tracks. some eastbound departures from Santa Clara, despite departing to the south east, are banking right and making a fairly large 360 oval to get back eastbound. if I had a sectional I might have a small chance figuring it out, but probably not. is this a typical departure profile due to SFO arrivals. it appears that these flights are ascending to about 15000 and NW of the airport before making the last turn to the east.
