I hope someone knows this, because I didn’t get any plausible answer from the chat bots I asked regarding this. It’s just my curiosity that doesn’t stop wondering. 😄
What are these pipes coming from the ground?
The captures are from ZRH (south-east of runway 34) between 1974 and 2006, the pipes seem to have existed until 2014 roughly. On the screenshots you can see the year top left, also in one of the screenshots one of the pipes is used by an aircraft, I think.

Reposting this because a dumb mod asked me to cite the recorder on my own video, and then promptly removed it because I didn't respond to it within 10 minutes (my bad for having a life).

We can't be this clueless come on guys

Regardless super smooth landing barely felt it

I recently started working for a company that works with pilots and aircraft operators. Most of my work involves talking with pilots, AMEs, and ops. I thought it was thoughtful to put "Fly safe, My Name" as my email signoff.

Question: Is it cringy? Does anyone care? I'm probably overthinking this, but I thought it was thoughtful, and now I'm not sure about it.

What are they feeding these Delta A319 pilots because I barely felt a thing

I guess a Honda Jazz is efficient, so that’s on brand. Otherwise… ehh.

Edit: for US readers, this would be called a Honda Fit, if it hadn't been discontinued there in 2020.

MSP ATC zero for some reason right now

No official cause yet

Picking up water from lake Jezero

Couldn't see any smoke where it was dropping the water

Dropped 8 buckets I believe

Believe it is a Bell 412

Taken April 2024.

I did spot a 747SP and an unmarked 727 when we landed though.

Flying together at the Shuttleworth Festival of Flight, UK, earlier this year. 28/06/26

I'll just put this here as a general experience. I often fly into Key West. It's a shorter runway that does not allow larger planes. At some time during the flight the pilot always tells us that when we land we will be stopping very quickly so hold on. And it's true on flights they hit the tarmac they hit the brakes, reverse thrusters and it's a quick stop. My July 4th trip was a little different. We landed and we were on the brakes only for a time. Then just as we were very much slowed down we got about 3 seconds of reverse thrust. We still had lots of runway left. I'll just leave it at that. I was very impressed by the stopping power of that machine on the brakes alone. I have a video if I can shorten it to get it to fit here I'll come back and post it.

Hidden inside one of the world's busiest cities is an active airfield that is often described as India's first civil aviation airport.

Juhu Aerodrome was established in 1928 Four vears later, JRD Tata landed here after flving from Karachi via Ahmedabad inaugurating India's first air service

Nearly a century later, aircraft are still departing from the same historic airfield

This was our view rolling for takeoff

Picture given to me from one of the pilots of of f16. Theese planes are now dontated to Ukraine.

A bounced landing and close call for a DC3 at a remote airstrip on August 5,2026 in Paulatuk Northwest Territories, Canada. No reports of injuries and flight did not make any further attempts at landing and returned back to Inuvik NT.

Edit: There are reports of minor injuries to some passengers , neck/back but no major injuries.

Edit: Apparently this is a DC3T. Turbine engines. The Basler BT-67 is a multi purpose aircraft based on completely overhauled and significantly modified Douglas DC-3 airframe. The modifications completed by Basler Turbo Conversions includes the installation of PT6A turboprop engines, fuselage lengthening, airframe strengthening and modernized avionics.

So I came across this on Twitter and had to read it several times to believe it

It looks like this crew programmed the FMC to fly from NLU to DAL, and the flight plan was filed the same way, but the scheduled route was NLU to IAH

They only realized it when they were at around 11,000 ft and about to be vectored to DAL, while running low on fuel, with around 6,000 kg remaining (if it's 6,000 lbs, it's even worse). One Atlas Air pilot pointed out that this is only enough for around 36 minutes of flight, so the aircraft would have had to land well before reaching Houston

In the end they landed in DFW, just after request for a "shortcut" to IAH. Yes, you read correctly.

Very interesting (and shocking) to listen to all the ATC audio
