I really enjoy reading these articles. And I always come away with some new detail of an aircraft to go learn more about. 💪

Another cool thread from @massiasthanos.bsky.social Especially the archival video of the Surface Effect Ship

I must start posting #aviation #photography again. It makes me happy.

On this day in 1945 a brave Danish Dutch diplomat drove his car into a Japanese concentration camp and saved my grandmothers and thus my life. A thread. It is August 15th 1945, my grandmother and her daughter (2 years old) are prisoners in Japanese concentration camp Lampersari.

The way these Puffins sound like helicopters when they fly! 😂 This is great!

I can hear the Pillars of Creation! 🤣

Meanwhile, ANTONOV successfully relocated the modernized An-124-100 Ruslan from Ukraine to Germany, completing a complex multi-year project to upgrade one of its legendary transport aircraft❤️ It underwent a deep modernization, starting in 2021👇

Ukraine’s Antonov plant has completed the modernization of the An-124-100 "Ruslan" transport aircraft. Work began in 2021 but was paused due to the full-scale invasion. On July 11, 2025, the aircraft was safely relocated to Germany.

Curtis F6C-1 Hawk This is such a gorgeous airplane! #aviation #photography #museum #CurtisHawk #Hawk #NASPensacola #biplane

Curtis F6C-1 Hawk Rebuilt P-1 Hawk (identical Army version) depicted as Navy F6C-1. Undergoing restoration in 2015 at Nat. Naval Aviation Museum @NAS Pensacola. Not sure if it's still on display. Anyone been since reopened? #aviation #photography #museum #CurtisHawk #Hawk #NASPensacola #biplane

Hawker Sea Fury FB Mk. 11 Not a great photo, but I like it. #aviation #photography #avgeek #airshow #SeaFury #Hawker

I look forward to these threads every year.

Visited the Airforce Armament Museum at Eglin for the first time in years. While some recent restoration work on outside displays had me scratching my head... They now have an F-102 Delta Dagger! (Have all century series fighters except F-106) #aviation #museum #F-102DeltaDagger #centuryseries

Stanley Cup hockey is the best reason to own a TV.

"We're putting the band back together." If I were wealthy, we'd have this band playing again. Probably have to call them The Blue's Angels for trademark purposes 😆 #aviation #photography #museum #A-4Skyhawk #skyhawk #BlueAngels #NASPensacola

That name though. Former RCAF P-51D Mustang represented as flown by USAAF 1st Lt. Arthur Cundy, WWII ace. #photography #aviation #P-51Mustang #Mustang #warbird

I too enjoy being driven over without discomfort or punctures 🤣

Nothing to see here. Just an empty aircraft shade 😎 YF-117 "Scorpion 5" TC 79-0784. I believe it was being used to test paint for the F-22. Photo 2007. Apparently destroyed a year later to prove an excavator could do the job?! 😱 #photography #aviation #history #avgeek #F-117Nighthawk #YF-117

Last known photo of James Smith Jr just seconds before he was swallowed whole by a ravenous Phantom. Be safe out there. #aviation #photography #airshow #F-4Phantom #avgeek #noseart

When @flypastrush.bsky.social posts a link to their site, you must go spend some time strolling through the hangar. Even if you don't build model aircraft. I don't make the rules.

Angels in a Blue Sky There is something special about the blue and gold on a clear sunny day. 2009, flying the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18A Hornet. The Blue Angels transitioned to Boeing F/A-18C the following year. #aviation #photography #BlueAngels #F-18Hornet #airshow

#FighterFriday Why have one Hawker #Hunter, when you could have six? One of the best looking jets ever built, especially the single seater 🤩 #PhotographersofBluesky #UKPhotographers #PhotographersUnited #photo #photograph #avgeek #AviationPhotography #Aviation #MilitaryAviation #Canon #TeamCanon

You don't quit a patch like this! Bombing Squadron 2B "High Hats" redesignated many times and is now VFA-14 "Tophatters". Formed in 1919 - the US Navy's oldest active squadron. BFC-2 Goshawk at the National Naval Aviation Museum #aviation #photography #NASPensacola #museum #Goshawk #history 1/2

LTV A-7E Corsair II, aka SLUF (Short Little Ugly... umm... Fella 🤣) Not fair! It is gorgeous. On display at the National Naval Aviation Museum NAS Pensacola. This aircraft flew 39 combat sorties during Operation Desert Storm. #aviation #photography #museum #NASPensacola #SLUF #A-7Corsair

I've loaned many books trying to introduce people to the Chosin Reservoir campaign in Korea. This one cites most of those books but is more accessible for novice military history readers. Accurate and readable. Very good! #militaryhistory #books #Chosin #KoreanWar #history #FrozenChosin

This is so good.

Sometimes you look at an F-104 Starfighter and you just have to say They really did that, huh? #aviation #photography #museum #F-104Starfighter

All aboard! Douglas C-47 Skytrain (though I prefer the allied designation "Dakota") Douglas really knew how to build aircraft. #aviation #photography #airshow #C-47Skytrain

The Staggerwing is just pure, 100% cool.

P-40B depicted as flown by Robert Neale of 1st AVG in China. Scored 15.5 aerial victories* Notice stunning GB-2 (Beechcraft Model 17) Staggerwing behind. 👀 *per museum. May be career total. Other sources indicate 13 with AVG #aviation #photography #museum #NASPensacola #FlyingTigers #P-40Tomahawk

In the early days of Hunting SAMs the 2-crew F-100F Super Sabre was a candidate for missle destruction. A challenging job when the tools at your disposal were rocket pods and guns. YGBSM #ModelAircraft

Did you see an F-22 Raptor flight demonstration? Did you try to explain it to someone who hasn't? Did you sound crazy? You may be entitled to compensation! Call the law office of Whichway, Diditgo, and Howe. #aviation #photography #avgeek
