With seemingly unlimited funding, the Cold War gave rise to a freaky menagerie of exciting warplanes, some charismatic, utterly daft or downright evil. Here are 10 cool (or utterly batshit) Cold War planes: hushkit.substack.com/p/insanely-c...

Are you wondering how to take #CAVs into account when developing #airport landside traffic flow simulations? 🤔 We got you covered! 😉 Find our guidance at this link: buff.ly/E3LjWdJ. 🚗 Then read our Philly application example: buff.ly/1dnjzL3. ✈️ #engineering #transportation @trb.org

What's a #multiport? 🤔 It's a facility where different modes of #transportation are fully integrated & interconnected. It's used by pax of different modes with the option to connect with other services. Learn more about multiports: buff.ly/bL6s37R. ✈️ #airports #airtravel #aviation #mobility #paxex

Somehow this is the normal North Atlantic approach to JFK today

Good interview with IAG CEO Luis Gallego in Spanish daily El Pais. TL/DR: a potential TAP deal would give IAG a big boost in Brazil; Qatar Airways is IAG's main into-Asia strategy for now; and he is unconcered with Turkish's investment in Air Europa.

What do CAVs mean in terms of driving? Can they all share the same roads with less-automated vehicles? What are their #infrastructure implications? And what about #safety? What's an autonomous vehicle? 🤔 We provide some answers here: buff.ly/PIYJZr6. 🚗🤖 #automatedvehicles #cavs #mobility @trb.org

Japan Airlines will withdraw all narrowbody aircraft from international operations by 2030, setting a firm deadline to end the use of single-aisle jets on overseas routes. The policy establishes the carrier's international fleet plan through the end of the decade. - More on hype.aero

That’s not what he said. He said the money for Essential Air Service routes will run out but that has absolutely nothing to do with ATC. What will happen is after that first paycheck is missed, and this applies to ALL federal workers, the mental toll of financial uncertainty becomes a huge problem.

@trb.org has released our ACRP #Research Report 269: Enhancing #Airport Access with Emerging #Mobility: buff.ly/bL6s37R. The new guidance addresses all modes and techs from CAVs to mass transit to AAM (and even cableways & vessels). ✈️ #airports #airtravel #aviation #infrastructure #transportation

Airbus deliveries had a record September, sources say www.reuters.com/business/aer... (via @reuters.com)

In 2014 we recovered the last Me 262 prototype (S-21) near Arnhem. It was shot down by German troops who didn’t know what it was: A plane this advanced must be Allied. The same day they mentioned a new revolutionary German fighter in the evening newspaper, a few hours too late🫠

Indeed, and the removal of the tempo RW 5-23 markings left some light scarring that is still there (see Google Earth). ✈️ #airports #aviation #engineering

Temporary runways like this require a lot of prep, operational safety provisions, and situational awareness all along. Ref. crash of SQ006 at TPE in 2000. ✈️ #airports #aviation #safetyfirst

Yes, other commercial #airports have done it in the past, including OAK and SFO. ✈️ #aviation #engineering #safetyfirst

That sounds definitively bigger than the Alia... 😳🛩️ #aircraft #aviation #mobility

From Beta Technologies' IPO filling with SEC: "We are in the development phase of a larger aircraft initially designed to carry up to 19 passengers.", and, "The timeline for obtaining civil certification of the larger commercial airplane has yet to be determined. "

⚡️Leaked files show sanctions are crippling Russia’s jet industry, grounding production of key aircraft like the MC-21 and SJ-100.

The Lufthansa Group plans to "selectively expand into attractive secondary US cities". North America represents the highest margin of profitability out of all regions. The group will also focus on Brazil, Argentina, and launch new destinations in India and Southeast Asia

👀 Ukraine is increasing the deployment of helicopters in air defense missions after commanders reported their effectiveness in intercepting Russian long-range drones.

Somehow I think that being a terrorist state that has shot down many civilian #aircraft, illegally appropriated large fleets of airliners, produced massive amount of unlicensed parts, disregarded domestic #aviation safety, and interfered with critical radionav signals might have played against them.

⚡️Unidentified drones reportedly spotted in Denmark, Lithuania, Finland. The incidents come as Russian drones and military aircraft have increasingly entered NATO airspace, prompting heightened alert and readiness across the alliance.

Airline centennial celebrations, so hot right now. Lufthansa also celebrates 100 years in 2026, and it's kicking things off now with a special livery on a 787-9 registered D-ABPU. It'll enter service in December. Dang, it looks good!

Beautiful obituary of the MiG-21. 🥲⬇️⬇️⬇️ #aircraft #avgeeks #aviation

Great but please fact check your numbers... #Aviation is very far from being "at ~12% of global CO₂ emissions"! 🙄 #airtravel #climatechange

⚡️ India retires its last Soviet-era MiG-21 “flying coffin” after decades of deadly crashes.

More and more social media bots on Bluesky... 🙄 Wondering how engagement farming here compares with TwiXter's. 🤖

Le recyclage, c'est bon pour la planète ! 😜 PROTEUS is a CUAS system (LAD in Fr) that is being fielded with the 35th RAP. It combines a legacy 20mm AA canon, the SANDRA thermal cam of the Mistral & TRM 2000 truck from the 80s. Next std w/ more modern equipment to be delivered as soon as next year.

#ReadBooks! 😜📚 The friends of our local public #library were holding a book sale last week. Our shelves are already full. But when you love #books (and libraries) that doesn't matter! 😊 Got a dozen of titles. Just a couple of air & space items this time, though. 🫤 #avgeeks #aviationbookclub

SCOOP: The FAA has exempted ATC modernization projects from standard agency acquisition policies, a move that could accelerate procurement timelines but one that may also have unknown additional impacts. (via @theaircurrent.com) Read here: theaircurrent.com/air-traffic-...

I am really not a great fan of the term "flying car": buff.ly/Tk4SJqr. Among the many PAV projects, few designs are really made for both air- and roadways. And those roadable #aircraft (I prefer that term) must abide by #aviation regulations. It's not exactly the Jetsons! 🛩️ #airtravel #mobility

I know we joke a lot that Delta Tech Ops can fix anything no matter how bad the damage, but even I’m surprised this CRJ-900 came back from the dead. It’s off to Macon, presumably for painting of its new tail.
