To the @bsky.app Airbus pilot community- You know when you are preparing for departure and you get those annoying NAV RA 1 or 2 faults on ECAM? This is often the cause. Loaders parked under your Rad Alt antennas. So chill, wait till loading’s done and your message will probably clear all by itself.

American Express’s perfectly presented G650ER. If I didn’t believe that executive jets were an environmentally destructive symbol of excessive cooperate greed, then I’d probably think this thing was pretty darn cool.

I thought I’d get a couple of snaps of our resident A380s in the sunshine this morning, but that big grey lamp post in the pic on the left was spoiling them. Thankfully ChatGPT was happy to remove it for me!

It really brings me no pleasure to share this picture with you. Perhaps I’m in a minority, but this Condor livery is not to my liking. D-ANCZ at LGW today. #ExThomasCook

British Airways B777 G-YMMD slips its earthly shackles en route for Mexican sunshine.

Bombardier CL600 Challenger of Canadian outfit FlyGTA. Their home airport is Billy Bishop Toronto City YTZ, but this aircraft arrived on Friday from Toronto Pearson YYZ.

This thing never fails to amaze, no matter how often you see it up close. Long may it reign. LGW this weekend.

This is a good looking aeroplane isn’t it? Like a mini A350. Swiss A220 arriving at LGW Saturday afternoon.

B737-300 of 2Excel Aviation at LGW on a round trip from Liverpool. A fairly safe bet that it was carrying the Liverpool football team for their away match at Brighton. Liverpool lost by the way. #BHAFC

Here’s what’s going on at LGW today, double A380, Flight Calibration DA-62, and the inevitable sunset over the bridge shot.

It says much more about me than it does about the writer of this headline that my first thought upon reading it was- Perhaps the successor will be Jewish Knitting

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

I have a terrible confession, and I’m not blaming anyone, but I rarely find Farside funny.

Sometimes delamination in honeycomb structures is difficult to spot, sometimes it isn’t! V2500 Thrust Reverser cold stream duct awaiting replacement.

Brighton City (Shoreham) ESH pretty quiet this afternoon. I did see this nice US registered Twin Comanche N55AG from 1965 and a Jodel that looked like it might a similar vintage, but is just 10 years old.

A319 G-EZGG at LGW last week.

KlasJet B737-300 Executive charter aircraft LY-CHF arrived LGW yesterday from ATH. Smart looking aircraft but a lack of winglets beginning to look unusual to me now.

Consequences of the situation in the Persian Gulf evident at LGW today. Emirates and Qatar Airways aircraft parked here for 4 days awaiting return to normal service.

Oh now I get it. Dubai is Golgafrinchan Ark B.

Today from Shoreham ESH - TBM-960 N27RJ. Looking racy in the morning sun.

Not many B767s at LGW these days, so it was nice to catch this EuroAtlantic example setting off for Lisbon LIS today.

G-EJEB departs from stand 52 as the sun sets on LGW this evening.

According to @flightradar24.com there are currently 9 Hawker Hunters airborne; 5 off San Diego and 4 over the Atlantic near Jacksonville fl. Incredible that an aircraft that first flew 75 years ago is still earning its keep today. What a machine!

Fifteen years after its founding, California-based QuantumScape believes it has cracked the code to solid-state batteries. Now, it must prove that they can be cranked out at scale. insideevs.com/news/786661/...

Gulfstream G450 N115LR at LGW this morning. Air China A350 as a back drop.

There was also this US registered Cessna 310R at Shoreham today. N747YK, seems to be based in Jersey. A bit too far away for a sharp picture with my phone I’m afraid.

DA40 Diamond Star G-ZYDA at ESH Brighton City Airport in the afternoon sunshine today.

I picked up a bunch of old Dinky aeroplanes from eBay last week to add to my collection. It including this Sikorsky Sea King in US Navy colours. The fun thing about this model is that it has a motor. After some minor adjustments and a new battery she’s restored to working order.

Trump’s demand that he takes possession of Greenland 🇬🇱 is a clear message to Putin’s Russia 🇷🇺. It says “I don’t care about Europe 🇪🇺 or NATO. I’ll just take the bit on my side of the Atlantic, you can do whatever you want with the rest”. #Greenland

I didn’t manage to find any thing with props at LGW today as requested by @jonnyjaero.bsky.social so here’s an unusual visitor from August last year!

Dawn and dusk at LGW today. Jet2 B737-800 G-DRTV and easyJet A320 G-EJCA.

The best way to stop despots and megalomaniacs fighting over oil is to end our dependence on it. Reducing climate risk is an added benefit.

Remember people, it’s not a war, it’s a SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION, and that’s different.

It seems that the USA 🇺🇸 has begun its very own SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION in Venezuela 🇻🇪.

“The first naked female my sons ever saw was Greta Garbo swimming happily in our pool” This is one of many unforgettable lines from “The Moon is a Balloon” by David Niven. It’s the most entertaining book I’ve read in a long time.

There’ve been a couple of Jet2 A321s at LGW recently. Not part of the Jet2 expansion into LGW planned for 2026, but Santa 🎅🏾 flights to ENF, RVN and IVL in northern Finland 🇫🇮. @sospainter.bsky.social
