RT by @SpaethFlies: Driving through Seattle and suddenly there’s a Boeing 747 nose poking out between two shiny new apartment towers.
A decommissioned jet being turned into a permanent art installation for the WB1200 development as a tribute to Boeing.
Only Seattle would think “let’s hang a jumbo jet between buildings” and actually make it look awesome.

RT by @SpaethFlies: Airbus A320 da TAP descolou de Gatwick com destino ao Porto mas durante a subida a tripulação detetou um intenso cheiro a queimado. Avisado o cockpit o comandante achou (muito bem) que deveria declarar emergência e regressar ao ponto de partida. Entretanto foi detetado um incêndio numa bagagem de mão colocada na bagageira. Tripulação de cabine extinguiu o fogo com recurso a um extintor de bordo. Após a aterragem os bombeiros de Gatwick inspecionaram o avião e determinaram que o fogo teve origem na bateria de um cigarro eletrónico. Habitualmente estes casos de thermal runaway da bateria são causados por excesso de carga ou pelo uso de carregadores comprados no mercado paralelo. Evitem, por favor. Um dia isto pode acabar em tragédia

Is there a deeper reason two highly respected global #airline heavyweights left their CEO jobs in #india in less than a month? Are Indian airlines unmanageable? Best of luck to Campbell Wilson and Pieter Elbers, they tried hard @airindia and @IndiGo6E #avgeek

Beyond a win for the A-10, putting refueling probes on USAF tactical jets could be a boon of the service's Agile Combat Employment strategy.
