Did you know @Airbus is actually developing their #UpNext Citation test aircraft with a third of each wing flapping like an Albatros bird? Christoph Naue explains how it will work when flight tests start in 2026 #avgeek

RT by @SpaethFlies: This week's blast from the past are these images of @airindia 's very first #B747 - VT-EBD which were taken at the @BoeingAirplanes Everett Factory in March 1971. The aircraft arrived in #Mumbai on 18th April 1971 and was opened for public viewing on 21st April 1971 at the old Santacruz airport. As you can imagine, photographs such as these are rare which is why please do retweet this so that other too may be able to relive this moment in history. #AvGeek

RT by @SpaethFlies: BBC News report on Shetland’s Sumburgh Airport (1983). A large new terminal had opened in 1979 to cater for oil traffic. Unfortunately new longer-range helicopters were soon able to bypass it on the route from Aberdeen to the East Shetland Basin, & it had become a white elephant.
