Man the Midwest has been hammered today with tornadoes. At Omaha’s Eppley Airfield (KOMA), what looks like at least four rows of T-Hangers took a direct hit from an EF2, and wiped dozens of airplanes off the FAA registry. Man I am sad for the owners, no idea if there were injuries.
Screengrabs from #wunderground, just look at the tornado warnings!
Great reporting as usual by Dan Johnson on the first TL “Sparker” to arrive in the U.S.
"First One in the USA — Flying TL’s Luxurious, Mosaic-Ready Sparker Aircraft”
At $327,000, this is not a low-end “starter" or trainer, but a serious luxury two-seat airplane that sees cruise speeds of 165-175 knots with the Rotax 916iS.
Is is being aimed squarely at the Mosaic-ready LSA (mLSA) market.
The miraculous evacuation of 367 passengers and 12 crew members on the Airbus A350 that burst into flames upon impact with a Japan Coast Guard plane at Haneda Airport in Tokyo has to be one of the airline industry’s biggest “saves.”
The next time the FA starts talking about safety before a flight, take off your Beats, pull out your Airbuds, STFU and LISTEN.
This hour’s random desktop background on my #MacbookPro is this A2A shot of the Terrafugia Transition. They were way to far ahead of the “flying car” curve.
When it first came out (can’t remember the exact year), I went to Oshkosh and pitched the company on a free advertising/marketing package from my ad agency in trade for a very early slot in their order book. Thankfully, that deal never came together.
I guess the AI in my #MacbookPro random desktop background generator must have picked up that I have firefighting helicopters on the brain today. This is a 2023 Global Identification Chart from HeliOps.
One of the things my #XPlane#flightsim never got right in my opinion was the brightness of landing lights. They have always been very dim, and at night you do not see the runway until damned near over the numbers.
Last night I finally found the settings for this and tweaked my usual #Cessna 172SP so now it has very wide and bright landing lights. Not real-world, but I can see the whole runway now.
I just stumbled on metar-taf.com, which has a very user-friendly interface and a livestream of real-time WX at any reporting airport.
Not affiliated or anything, just thought I’d pass this along. Search for your airport in upper right corner. Then hit the LIVESTREAM link at top. Enjoy!
Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. was confirmed by the U.S. Senate today as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. President Joe Biden nominated him four months ago but something called a “Tuberville" was holding the confirmation hostage playing political games.
This hour’s random desktop background on my #MacbookPro is this “helluva lotta fun” Eurofox Light Sport. Would be a gas to just take this so low and slow you can smell the cows.
