I've had this saved for a while, it provides better context into what they were doing and why they were in that position.

There were only minor injuries as a result

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

These little vignettes have a certain quirky charm, don’t they? The main classes Goodyear wanted to implement were Deluxe, Pullman, and Economy—with 112-288 passengers depending on the balance between the three classes.

With the incoming retirement of the A340-600, I wanted to highlight Lufthansa's remarkable lineup of *five* different four-engined aircraft! Lets enjoy all of these beauties while they're still around!

According to the E-JETS E2 Airport and Firefighting manual (page 78), the maximum takeoff weight of an E195-E2 on a 1,508-meter runway at sea level (5,8 m) and ISA 0 conditions is 58,000 kg. Given an operating empty weight around 35,700 kg and a maximum fuel capacity of 13,690 kg, the maximum takeoff payload in this scenario would be approximately 8,610 kg. Assuming a passenger weight of 100 kilograms, that would amount to 86 passengers. However, one must also account for headwinds on the route to New York. Using the GreatCirclePro website, I believe an all-First Class cabin with 28 seats is feasible year-round. Maybe an all-Business Class configuration for 47 or 48 passengers would also be possible most of the year on the westbound journey. An All-Premium Economy with 76 seats could also fly non-stop the eastbound route year-round, whereas a refueling stop would be necessary for the westbound leg.

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.

A majority of the aircraft were used by the Office of Aerial Engineering for aerial photography. ODOTs little airwing today consists of an AS350, two King Airs for transporting the Governor of Ohio, and a C208 Caravan for aerial photo and LiDAR collection

Very cool to see one of these, they are suppose to have many ready for the 2034 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City

Jeteyes.com did an "X drop" today where they sold a limited number of aircraft tags without identifying the aircraft (it sold out in less than an hour). The only hints they've given are that: 1) it's a fighter, 2) it's a "bruiser," and 3) the tags are thick.

They also released this picture, which seems to be three of triangular tags from the release. The top tag seems to have two riveted nut plates (blue), with some kind of red sealant or locking compound on top. They're sandwiching two thin sheets of metal around the much thicker sheet.

For those of you with aviation mechanic experience, do the nut plates look familiar to a particular era? Any guesses what aircraft this is from? I was able to order one of the tags but it won't arrive for a couple of weeks, and I'm dying to figure out what it might be from.
