They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

Five years ago today, The Antonov AN-225 Mriya visited Toronto during the pandemic to deliver an AN-225 sized shipment of PPE.
This was the first and only time I saw Mriya, and decided I would use a 16mm fisheye to try and capture a unique angle of Mriya.

The 757 has become such a vampire airplane in Europe. They’re still out there, but only allowed to to come out at night.

Years ago, I lived near an elementary school in the suburbs of Paris. On its facade was a mosaic bearing a quote from the French Revolution:
“Après le pain, l’éducation est le premier besoin du peuple.”

“After bread, education is the first need of the people.”

Let’s rebuild #Aviation Twitter on Bluesky! For a decade, I enjoyed the AvGeek banter with a huge engaged community over there. That place is now DEAD TO ME.

AA may have had to deal with a super expensive and disruptive security hoax, but at least it got this free air-to-air photo shoot of its 787.

The aircraft neither knows nor cares whether the pilot is male or female. It neither knows nor cares about their race, religion, sexuality. All the aircraft responds to is skill, knowledge and experience.

No fancy graphics from Boeing to wrap up 2024. Just numbers representing a very dramatic year.
348 deliveries in 2024, less than half of Airbus, and down from 528 in 2023.

One important comment about aviation safety: When the global air travel system achieves the incredible level of safety that it has through deliberate engineering and organizational safeguards, the remaining accidents are at the edge of the bell curve -- ensuring they will be increasingly bizarre.

At end of the day 121 years ago, two humans had spent less than 5 minutes in sustained, controlled flight covering less than 1,500 feet on a windy beach. But it gave rise to what we see today with nearly 200,000 daily flights on all 7 continents. #WrightBrothersDay
