for me it’s the f35 I love it

Delivery flight, Toulouse → Amsterdam

The 6 people on board are likely now presumed dead.

RIP

Had a nice angle of the leading edge ice formation on a recent domestic flight into Melbourne, Australia.

The two-person crew of an EA-18G Growler assigned to the “Zappers” of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 130 were safely recovered after ejecting from the aircraft, the Navy said in a statement provided to USNI News.

“At approximately 6:18 p.m. EDT on Sept. 28, a mishap involving an E/A-18G Growler, attached to the ‘Zappers’ of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 130, occurred during aircraft recovery operations aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower off the coast of Virginia.“

Two naval aviators assigned to Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 3 subsequently ejected from their aircraft following an arresting gear failure and were promptly recovered by search-and-rescue personnel assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 7. Both aviators were safely returned to the ship.”

The Douglas A2D Skyshark is an American turboprop-powered attack aircraft built by the Douglas Aircraft Company for the United States Navy. The program was substantially delayed by engine reliability problems, and was canceled because more promising jet attack aircraft had entered development and the smaller escort carriers the A2D was intended to utilize were being phased out.

I love this plane, especially because it's like the steroid-infused version of the A-1 Skyraider.

2026 Pacific Airshow

Such an amazing aircraft!!

There are at least 6 fire trucks, 7 police (?) cars, and 3 ambulances. Terminal 3, if it matters. Does anyone have news?

One two landing back to back coming back from a training mission

After its maiden flight in 1962, JD flew for Aerolíneas Argentinas before returning to the UK in 1977 to join Dan-Air Services, where it was later converted into a freighter. In 1992, the aircraft was acquired by Emerald Airways, flying cargo across Europe until its final retirement in the mid-2000s.

This was taken at a high school football game this weekend. Didn’t really seem coordinated or part of the game experience like an intentional flyover. What are these two planes and we are they so close like this? Thanks!

Airport in quotes is a hint😉

Maybe someone else here will enjoy this as much as I do; waiting to depart from JAC last year

I was going through these photos I took aboard a HarbourAir flight from Seattle to Vancouver on a Grand Caravan, and I noticed that in some of the photos the glass cockpit has its usual colour display mode, and in some it has a red-on-black display mode. I've assumed that it has a dual mode, and is always displaying both, but the colour display is brighter and persistence-of-vision makes it so you can't really see the red-on-black display. Seems reasonable.

Except I can't find any evidence of this feature. And even random photos I can find online of a glass cockpit in flight during the night show it as a bright glaring colour display, so surely there's more to it than this? What did I see?

[For context: the two photos were taken mere seconds apart with a mirrorless camera, my guess is that there was a sort of refresh rate rolling shutter effect which make it possible to see the two displays in different exposures]

Got to take my dad flying for the first time! 😎🛩️

1990, my parents sold everything they had to leave Uzbekistan for the U.S. right before the USSR collapsed.

My dad always dreamed of becoming a pilot but never had the opportunity to do so, sacrificing his dreams and youth to give us a better life than he had.

I got my PPL in August and took him flying over SFO and landed at KHAF.

He loved every second of it! He kept saying he couldn’t believe that his son is a pilot and just how amazing it is to fly in a small airplane so low! He had an absolute blast, especially when he got to take the yoke for a bit on the way back to our home airport!

Tremendous blessing to be able to enjoy this with him and fulfill one of my dreams when pursuing my PPL. Worth every penny and all the stress! I hope one day to fly him as an airline pilot!
