Wir machen das. Zu selten, aber es passiert. Letztes Jahr zB haben die AK65 Herren im Finalflight den deutlich schnelleren Ak50 Leading-Flight durchgelassen. Freiwillig.

The (second to) last flyby of Philippine Mars at Victoria International.

They had an issue with the #4 engine and came back and landed at Pat Bay about 30 minutes later (as I was serving back downtown (
;( )

Philippine Mars aircraft approaches us at about 500ft above ground. The sky is cloudy and the aircraft is in a slight right bank.

Listening to that rumble as she takes off in the distance and flies over the trees. Away she went. Forever. 😢

Spyke Tyranno: Happy Hatchday! (09/15)

@spyketyranno.bsky.social

"May the Force Be With You. Always."

Hey Rebels!

To celebrate #StarWars Day as well as the 20th Anniversary of "Revenge of the Sith," I wanted to share this awesome sketch I got from FinalFlight (on FA) back in 2005!

With a lightsaber in my paws, this Jedi is ready to face an Empire!

#Maythe4th

In the image is Spyke Tyranno, an anthropomorphic jackal-dragon hybrid, as a Jedi. Spyke is wearing his own style of clothes for a Jedi. The clothes consist of a closed vest, a jumpsuit with raised collar, long leather gloves with a gizmo on each of the gloves, a belt with a circle belt buckle and a pair of high-boots. Spyke is gripping the handle of a lightsaber with both hands as he gives a look of determination against an unseen foe, ready to defend and fight.

It is overcast and foggy but word is they are going regardless of fog. We are getting ready to head out to the lake to hopefully see her lift off one last time!

She appears to be off of the “radar” of the regular trackers.

This is a satellite track that the company put out to track her.

Just passed Yachats, Oregon a few minutes ago with two planes in formation. Slowed down considerably. Only doing 125knots.

Our #Aviation #History #Friday recalls today the #NASA #STS107 mission that launched on 16 January 2003 — the #finalflight of #spaceshuttle #Columbia. Although the mission ended in #tragedy, it left a lasting impact on #spaceflight and #aerospace safety.
