Awesome, JetBlue is sending their Super Mario livery to Austin tonight, too bad that it arrives near 2300hrs and departs at 0600 tomorrow, I will try to wake up early to catch it before it leaves.

First time I’ve spent some miles to join a waitlist for “United First”, still got about 9 months before the trip, so maybe I have a decent chance to fly first class? 🤣

Oh boy, got enticed by Spirit to book a round trip to EWR next month. Couldn’t resist that price lol, welp hopefully everything goes well and they don’t go bankrupt before I fly back home 😂.

Picked up a radar taillight for my bicycle, hopefully this will stop cars creeping up on me and taking me by surprise (can’t really hear them once I’m cycling over a certain speed due to wind noise).

There’s Quality Train Content™, and then there’s Quality Train Content™. This is the latter.
It’s the Keiō Special Express service bound for Takaosangushi, showing how a competent railway can thread express and local services with 20 minute frequencies. So. Many. Trains.

Was lucky enough to catch one of my chases during my last trip to Japan, these typically A321-P2F usually operate at night but do have some daytime flights.
✈️ Yamato Transport / Spring Japan Airbus A321-231(P2F) / JA81YA.
🛫 NRT: Tokyo Narita International Airport.

Woah, managed to replace the screen protector on my phone without having a huge piece of dust stuck under it! It’s been a while since I’ve managed to do that.

This looks to be UPS 2976, an MD-11. @flightradar24.com public data picked up a brief altitude value of 175 feet before it dropped back to 0 and the data ends.

Completed my first 100kms ride yesterday, everything went fine luckily.
I still need to figure out my carb/electrolyte/water intake since I did get a light cramp and was bonking out towards the end, well that and also I may have been pushing a bit too hard considering my fitness levels haha.

Couldn’t miss this one, Ameristar sent a 737-200 to AUS a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to catch it leaving but nonetheless I was pretty happy just seeing one of these flying.

Airborne! The NASA X-59 QueSST is making its first flight. The aircraft is uniquely shaped to fly supersonically without making a loud sonic boom. www.flightradar24.com/NASA859/3cdc...

Find it funny how airlines apply stickers to only one side of the plane for some of their specials.
This BA B77W has the “Great Futures” decal in the left side of the airplane.

Tried to go on a 60 mile ride this morning but had cut it short due to heavy fog.
Ended up calling a friend to give me a lift back home 🥲.
