Early morning adventure out to Travis AFB to catch NASA 926 departing after an overnight on its way back to Texas from a mission in Hawaii. Had never seen a WB-57 flying before. Not great pics since they used the more remote runway but still fun. Also US Navy E-6B departing before it (unrelated). #planespotting@JetTip
the internet has gotten very dumb but somehow I can still watch an hour on fixing test card generators from forty years ago so not all is lost. https://youtu.be/4XWZ4RnHk4g
@midendian we often take our modern world for granted, and it's amazing to think how complex the task of this box was, what nowadays amounts to rendering a vector shape
So they’re just proposing to build pre-car Main Street neighborhoods but with no permitting processes, as if we didn’t just do that a century ago and discovered it gets complicated quickly. Typical “if we could just start from scratch we’d do it so much better” attitude you see at every software org. https://sfyimby.com/2024/02/yimby-interview-with-california-forever.html
#SFO was running on a single runway for most of the day. Wind pushed both departures and arrivals to RWY 10 (already a rare condition) but 10R is closed for repairs. Luckily once the worst of the wind started mid-afternoon, the direction had changed enough to move to 19L/R—with an obvious relief in the voices of the controllers.
But still a fun afternoon hanging out with the resident seagull population of the Tanforan Target parking lot. #planespotting#avgeek
poking around the map this afternoon I realized I’d never been to Holly Park. super clear today, even my phone could see the radome on Mount Tam. #sanfrancisco
