For us, there's nothing quite like 'discovering' an aviator and a story with which we are completely unfamiliar. 🙌🏻 To wit, Gidsken Jakobsen in this detailed, copiously illustrated article, including this amazing photo. (📸 Unknown | Maihaugen) | 🛩️ 👩🏻‍✈️ 🦆 📍 🇳🇴 🥇 | 🔗 www.luftfartsmuseum.no/gidsken-jako...
An old, black and white photograph of a woman (separately identified as Gidsken Jakobsen), standing in front of a biplane mounted on floats on what appears to be a frozen lake. The aircraft is oriented such that it's pointed toward and slightly to the right of the camera position. Jakobsen is holding the lower blade of the aircraft's propeller and is looking directly at the camera. She is also wearing a leather flying helmet. There is a crowd of approximately twenty adults and children standing to her left and on the right side of the frame. The crowd is looking at a combination of her, the airplane and directly at the camera. Some are on cross-country skis. Everybody in the photo is dressed in heavy winter clothing, indicating that it was cold when the photo was taken. The aircraft has a radial engine, with the cylinders exposed to the airflow. The word « MÅSEN » is painted on the right side of the fuselage just aft of the engine and below the front seat of the two-seat, open cockpit. Further aft and although partially obscured, « N40 » is painted on the side of the fuselage in large letters.

Back in the day, we would have entered this in a heartbeat: « The Eighth Annual Richard Collins Writing Prize for Young Pilots » sponsored by @sportys.bsky.social. The deadline for all future Markhams, Ganns, and Bachs ✍🏻 is February 28, 2026. (📸 See ALT) | 🛩️ 🥇 | 🔗 www.sportys.com/blog/call-fo...
An older man stands by a General Aviation aircraft. He is turned to the right side of the frame, and has his head turned to the right to look at the camera. He is smiling. He is wearing a blue-check shirt and glasses. His left hand is touching the doorframe of the aircraft, which is mostly white with horizontal red stripes. It appears to be a sunny day.

Interested in learning more about the @xprize.org's 'Wildfire' competition? We've linked their site: « Designed to end destructive wildfires before they grow out of control, this competition advances and informs a holistic approach to wildfire management… » | 🧵 2/2 | 🔗 www.xprize.org/competitions...
A screenshot of the main landing page for the XPRIZE 'Wildfire' competition. The primary element is an aerial view of an active fire front: a green forest appears as the bottom of the frame and a burnt section of forest appears at the top. The two are divided by the smokey, orange fire front. Superimposed over this startling image are the words « ENERGY + CLIMATE + NATURE » in a white box. Below this are the words « XPRIZE Wildfire » in larger, white block letters followed below by the words « End Destructive Wildfires » in smaller type. In turn, below these three lines, are the logos for the XPRIZE 'Wildfire' competition, along with two sponsor logos: PG&E and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. (📸 XPRIZE 'Wildfire')

That, they do. 😍 Incidentally, we recently filled out ADVANCE's online form, and they sent us this complementary 'coffee table' magazine, which now graces the home office. Many more great photos and stories. We've linked the page with the form. | 🛩️ 🪽 📚 | 🔗 my.advance.swiss/en/collectio...
Three magazines are arrayed out on a wooden floor. On the left, the magazine is entitled « Adventures Collection » and has a picture of a paraglider flying in mountainous terrain. The magazine on the right is entitled « companion » and is of a smaller form factor. The cover of this has a photo of two paraglider pilots in a seated position and, in a separate photo, a small orange safety parachute. The middle magazine, the title of which is covered by the magazine on the left, also features two paragliders flying amongst snow-capped mountains.

We continue to celebrate the northern winter ❄️ with some evergreen advice on 'open cockpit' flying in this cold, snowy season. We're also of the opinion that the photos and writing from ADVANCE are amongst the best we've seen. (📸 ADVANCE Paragliders) | 🛩️ 🪽 🥇 | 🔗 www.advance.swiss/en/brand/fly...
A snowy slope is viewed from above, looking down, where a paraglider has just performed a touch-and-go, the evidence of which is a divot in the surface and flying snow aft of the glider's direction of flight. In addition, the paraglider's pilot and wing are casting sharp, dark shadows on the snow, to the right, from which it appears the pilot is no more than a metre or two above the surface. The shadows also indicate a sunny day. The aircraft is flying from the top of the frame to the bottom. The surface of the snow appears windblown into shallow waves running from the top left of the frame to the bottom right. The snow is punctuated by two small, dark objects which could either be ski lift pylons or small, scrubby trees. The wing is mostly white with bright red and grey accents. (📸 ADVANCE Paragliders)

Four aircraft from The Flying Bulls collection are pictured flying in formation against a background of an overcast sky. They are photographed from the ground and looking up. They appear to be making an aggressive left turn so as to eventually reveal the planform of the aircraft to bystanders that may be below. They are flying from left to right in the frame. From top to bottom in the frame: F4U Corsair, B-25 Mitchell, P-38 Lightning, and a P-51 Mustang. The P-38 is trailing display smoke from both engines.

It is flying from right to left in the frame, and the camera is positioned slightly below the flight path. The skin of the aircraft is almost entirely highly polished aluminum. There is a set of blue trim stripes running the length of the fuselage. The Red Bull chequerboard and logo are painted on the vertical stabiliser. The sky in the background consists of misty clouds slightly tinted by the light that would be present at either sunrise or sunset. (📸 Sebastian Marko / Red Bull Content Pool)

A black and white photo of a group of eight men posing in front of a twin-rotor helicopter tentatively identified as a Piasecki UH-25, also known as the Piasecki HUP Retriever. The aircraft is oriented so as to point at the right side of the frame and slightly toward the camera position. One of the men is dressed as Santa Claus, standing next to the helicopter's pilot who is wearing a leather jacket and might have his helmet tucked under his left arm. These two are surrounded by another six men dressed as elves. The helicopter windscreen is decorated with icicles and falling snow. Painted on the side of the fuselage are the words « Merry Xmas » along with candy canes, stars and other seasonal items. It appears to be a sunny day given the hard shadows being cast.

That said, the photo is tightly cropped to the vertical stabiliser, part of the right horizontal stabiliser, and the fuselage to just forward of the rear door on the right side of the fuselage. The photo appears to have been taken from the ground. The only other distinguishing characteristic is the number « 7252 » painted in black letters just above the rear door. (📸 United Airlines)

Okay, this looks like fun, at least if you live in the vicinity of beautiful Colorado Springs or happen to be passing through. Makes us wonder how many restaurants there are where you can similarly dine inside an aircraft; do you know of one? | 🛩️ 🍽️ 📍 🇺🇸 🥇 | 🔗 theairplanerestaurant.com?utm_source=b...
An aerial photo of The Airplane Restaurant in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Of note is that the dining establishment consists of a red-roofed building and, immediately adjacent, a mothballed Boeing KC-97 tanker in-flight refueling aircraft. The entire right wing is visible, whereas the left wing is incorporated into the red-roofed structure. The aircraft is marked with the livery of the « TEXAS AIR GUARD », which appears on the upper side of the middle fuselage. The words « US AIR FORCE » appear on the lower part of the fuselage towards the nose. There are three additional inset photos: bottom-left, an interior view of the aircraft's cockpit; bottom-middle, the interior of the fuselage which has been converted to accommodate dining booths; bottom-right is an interior view of the boom operator's position presumably inside the lower aft part of the fuselage.

It is painted in green and brown camouflage on the upper surfaces. The letters « WX » are visible on the side of the fuselage, just aft of a Royal Air Force roundel. The « X » seems to overlay a number with the only part of it clearly visible being « 935 ». A small red and white chequerboard is painted on the side of the fuselage just aft of the single-seat cockpit. A red, white, and blue 'fin flash' is painted on the vertical stabiliser.

The sky is hazy blue with some cumulus clouds. A line of tree-covered hills is visible in the background. The heat from the aircraft is visible below the aircraft and is blurring the line of trees in the distance. This would tend to indicate the aircraft is either in slow or hovering flight.
