Finished my day of #Xplane #flightsim flying at Madera Municipal Airport. This is where I soloed, so it holds a special place in my logbook.

Interesting find on the ramp. You just don't see a Cessna T-41 Mescalero every day.

"The Cessna T-41 Mescalero is a military version of the popular Cessna 172, operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) and Army, as well as the armed forces of various other countries as a pilot-training aircraft."

Not sure, but I think if I was able to buy this PC-12, I'd probably have to change the registration number. Or not. Would certainly make for a few laughs on the radio.

"Tower, this is Pilatus Oscar Hotel Foxtrot Uniform Kilo."

"OH F*CK!!!"

"Was that for the PC-12?"

"No, we just had a triple seven take the wing off an E75L here at Gate 45."

"Everybody's got to pick on us for the reg number, eh?"

"Affirmative, Oh F*ck."

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🦓📍 Researchers follow three GPS-collared #zebras on their 500 km migration through #Botswana's #wilderness.

Janet was the first zebra ever recorded to make this journey, Spirit traveled while pregnant, and Socks's collar failed but might still transmit signals. The footage captures predator encounters, new births, and their arrival at fresh grazing grounds.

Repurposed Into Art

This is a black and white photo in landscape format of the nose section of a DC-3 aircraft repainted in a contempory street-art style. Tucson, Arizona (2013).

Reaching out across the image from the left margin to the centre is the forward fuselage section from the cockpit to the nose, of an old DC-3 (Douglas Dakota of World War Two vintage) aircraft. The plane has been repainted and rendered into black and white and has a white background with the artwork in sprayed in finely defined black or tones of grey. The art is somewhat abstract to me, though a number of fish heads can be seen as can a few snake like serpents, some with scales. Forward of the nose, below and above is an ink black, clear and cloudless sky.

This aircraft and a few others were part of a display of planes repurposed as an 'alternative art gallery' at the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona.

#Emery #b727 #FreighterFriday #aviation #airplanes #avgeek #planes #postcards #postcard #travel #planespotting #aviación #aviacion #avión #avion #Luftfahrt #Flugzeuge

A bright red-and-white Emery Worldwide Boeing 727 soars high above a blanket of soft, brilliant white clouds. The tri-engine jet is captured in a graceful right-bank turn, its distinctive T-tail and three rear-mounted engines clearly visible. The aircraft’s fuselage carries bold EMERY titles in large white letters over a vivid red forward section that fades into clean white toward the tail. The sky above is a deep, uninterrupted blue, creating a striking contrast with the aircraft’s colors and the cloud layer below. The scene conveys both motion and altitude, giving a sense of high-level cargo operations during the classic era of 727 freighters.

V1 -VIASA DC-10 Postcard

#VIASA #DC10 #postcard #Avgeek #Aviation #Airplanes #Travel #OldPostcards

A VIASA Venezuela McDonnell Douglas DC-10 rotates sharply off the runway in this dynamic postcard-style image, captured at the exact moment its nose lifts into the air. The widebody tri-jet shows off its classic proportions: a long, polished fuselage; swept wings flexing under takeoff power; and the signature center engine embedded in the vertical stabilizer. The aircraft wears VIASA’s iconic 1970s-80s livery—an orange tail with the Venezuelan flag near the top, bold VIASA titles, and a clean white-and-blue cheatline that runs the length of the fuselage, accented by “VENEZUELA” in dark letters. Heat distortion shimmers behind the engines, emphasizing the thrust of the takeoff roll. In the background, a busy airport environment—terminal buildings, service vehicles, and hangar structures—suggests a major international gateway. The overall scene conveys the power of the DC-10, the elegance of VIASA’s branding, and the energetic, global optimism of classic Venezuelan commercial aviation.

A stylish 1950s illustration shows a woman standing on an airport observation deck, waving enthusiastically as an American Airlines airplane prepares for departure just below her. She wears a deep red coat, black gloves, and carries a large black fur muff. Her expression is warm and hopeful, leaning slightly forward as if trying to catch her husband’s final glance. Below, two uniformed American Airlines ground crew walk across the tarmac near the gleaming aircraft with red-striped tail markings. In the distance, another plane climbs into a soft blue sky. The lower portion of the image contains ad copy celebrating the idea that a wife at home can help her traveling husband “get ahead” by encouraging him to fly American’s Flagship service. The overall mood is nostalgic, polished, and full of mid-century optimism about air travel.

The #NTSB preliminary report (PDF) is out for the crash of UPS flight 2976.

New images show a complete failure of the left engine pylon mount, and how the detachment caused the engine and remaining pylon to blow up far over the fuselage in a ball of flames.

Really detailed stuff here for #avgeeks.
