Not that anyone asked, but I'd really recommend you avoid vertigo if possible.

No fun for anyone.

Lufthansa's Centennial B787 makes it first appearance in the PacNW, following a short test flight out of Paine Field.

Quite the looker, IMO. Will be even better on a sunny day.

Santa came a little early this year, after a super rare to the Americas Harbin Y-12 visited Vancouver YVR today.

It is on the way to Chile, having begun its journey in Harbin, China 16 days ago (according to @flightradar24.com). Since then it's gone HRB>BQS>YKS>GDX>DYR>TLA>ANC>JNU> and now YVR. 1/

Godspeed to New Pacific, aka Northern Pacific, which finally ran out of reinventions.

The airline has been a charter only operator since the spring of 2024, after calming it quits on short lived commercial service.

2/3rds of its 3-strong B757 fleet made the trek to the boneyard today.
