DOD and Honeywell have successfully flown an aircraft for more than four hours from Seattle to Alaska over the Pacific without GPS, using quantum magnetic navigation. Next: They plan to demonstrate the technology on a U.S. military C-17 Globemaster III later this year. www.war.gov/News/News-St...

A good overview of the awful disaster in Nepal that pieces together videos in to a clearer narrative.

As I said a while earlier... Vote BinFace! A UK by-election in which the decent candidate has a bin for a head. The other one is astonishingly corrupt.

Welcome to British politics. Vote BinFace!

Just like how paragliders play🙂

That's a sad end. Doub't these A346's will work again (because Mahan Air won't be allowed to buy them 😉)

A good reminder of what those busy skies really mean @flightradar24.com

Funny how we were just discussing traffic avoidance in paragliding in a thread last week. This is incredibly rare but in VFR...

RIP Spirit Airlines. Gone from being Spirit in the sky to, well, being a spirit in the sky. Will miss your bright bold colour.

A fairly rare bird, Lao Airlines Son of DC-9 / ARJ-21 / C909 identity crisis liner😜

A nice happy view this morning

Damn! Its been great on here, such a better experience than any tech bro run apps.

This picture was taken in the heart of a big city yet its restful and beautiful Its a reminder that good can be found in almost anything. Always look for the bright side to help keep your spirits up😊 Happy Christmas Bluesky.

A very successful looking "tree landing"!

A Boeing 737 converted in to a luxury villa being overflown by a paraglider. Maybe the renters of the plane villa want an extra large fly swatter or perhaps these days are pleased for the attention to their exclusive selfie pad? 😜

A remarkable statistic from @gregorynorminton.bsky.social for those residing in the UK and struggling under excessive energy prices I'd think this question of pegging energy price irrelevantly to the gas price should be asked of your MPs. The high energy price pain, it would seem, isn't necessary.

Mine's a Rolls today. Chocks away!

Is this proof of life after death? courtesy of reused transponder IDs and @flightradar24.com we can imagine the spirit of this old Delta Mad Dog reincarnated and playing in the skies over central Thailand. What a lovely thought

Venitian diamond above the city at dawn.

Morning parade. High up at Dawn are the moon, Jupiter and Venus. Mercury already too faint for the phone camera but visible in binoculars is much lower.

After such a disastrous meeting we need this bit of fun!

Island hopping in Indonesia by air is always a thrill. Here on Wings Air ATR-72 for the short hop From Bali to Lombok. Flight time 23 minutes. Gunung Agung Volcano on Bali in the distance.

80 years ago on 6th August 1945 at 09:15 a.m a B-29 Superfortress "Enola Gay" dropped an atomic bomb named "Little Boy" on the city of Hiroshima. The bomb exploded 800ft above the target with the force of 20,000 tonnes of TNT. "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds": Robert Oppenheimer.

Happy day trekking with the doggies😊

Random classic DC10 empennage cropping up on the sunset skyline!

Have to recommend Steve's Cockpit Casual channel on YouTube here also. Very relaxing well edited story-telling. Wonderful for Avgeeks but for general interest too with National geographic style cultural and regional content included. Truly enjoyable viewing.

Happy birthday, America. Your gift? A new police state.

Two ARJ-21s of Trans Nusa at Jakarta. Since been re-branded as C909s and arguably ex DC-9/B.717s too, certainly descended from that lineage.

Topical Persian aviation joke that came my way through the net. 🤣

Disaster! RIP

Dawn off the northern tip of Taipei. It had chased us for about 4 hours as we flew West, looking good when it finally caught up😊

The setting sun cradled by Morro Rock, Morro bay, California.

Visiting Victorville's vast aviation storage vault! Over 100 Ex FedEx DC-10/MD11 trijets alone, even a handful of 727s too plus multiple other aircraft types of varied histories and schemes. 18 Qantas 717s and two of their now tail-less A380s also of note. An awesome site/sight in the desert! 😍

Loving the Mojave bone yard. Classic jets, a few of which I've flown on. Have a soft spot for trijets so was magic to see the last operational Tristar on the ramp too.

United IAH-SFO today. Wow, US boarding process is drawn out compared to Asia/Europe.

If you want a better understanding of how USA politics got itself in such a mess then watch this lecture. Eliot is the first I have come across with an explanation of how we became so disfunctional. There is a specific example explaining the origin of one of the many untruths pedalled by Trump.
