Not sure about this 2001 reboot.

N774UA has returned to its birthplace in Everett.

The world’s oldest Boeing 777 still flying anywhere in the world arrived as UA3821 from San Francisco to Paine Field.
This United Airlines aircraft is line number 2 from the factory, seen here with its birthplace in the background.
Any idea why it came back to PAE?

As Boeing marks the 31st anniversary of the first 777 delivery, Alan Mulally, the leader of the original aircraft development project has teamed up with aviation author Dan Dornseif to produce a definitive and fascinating history of the jetliner’s story. https://t.co/4GRNpgV50r

13 May 1912. Birth of Felix Kracht (d. 3 October 2002). German aviation engineer and Airbus founder who built the FVA-10b "Rheinland" glider and flew it across the Alps in 1937. At Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug he developed the prototype DFS 346 rocket-powered plane.

[Robinson Helicopter Company @Robinson_Heli]

Unither Bioélectronique has completed the world’s first piloted hydrogen-electric helicopter circuit flight in Québec.

The milestone flight was achieved using a modified Robinson R44 as part of Project Proticity.

This successful demonstration highlights the potential of hydrogen-electric propulsion to deliver zero-emission flight while building on the proven reliability and cost efficiency that Robinson helicopters have come to define.

Behind every future in flight is a teacher. ✈️

More than two decades ago, NASA test pilot Nils Larson trained a young @AstroVicGlover at the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School in the T-38. Years later, Glover became a NASA astronaut and flew around the Moon. 🌙

This #TeacherAppreciationWeek, we recognize the educators who inspire the next generation.

Explore NASA STEM activities: 🚀🧠✨

Crazy milestone today!

Cool video of New Glenn’s fairing re-entry. For this flight we installed an exo-atmospheric reaction control system (RCS) in the fairing to control re-entry and enable recovery of the fairing. We’re planning a parachute recovery later this year, and the data from these fairings gives us the learnings needed to develop and refine that capability.

[Virgin Galactic @virgingalactic]

Virgin Galactic has reached a new production milestone, successfully towing its latest SpaceShip from the assembly hangar to the test and launch hangar. The vehicle will undergo final systems integration and ground testing. The next-generation SpaceShips are being built at our SpaceShip factory in Mesa, Arizona.

[CFM International @CFM_engines]

44 years ago, #Delta Flight 910 took off from Atlanta—the world’s first commercial flight powered by the #CFM56 engine! 🚀

From unforgettable inflight tests to setting new standards for efficiency, the CFM56 changed the course of aviation.

Happy anniversary to the world’s best selling engine!

The first 777-8 freighter in the Everett factory this evening. WG001 line 1844 for Cargolux

[Blake Scholl 🛫 @bscholl]

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engine (assembly).

It's not too late to be part of the team that builds the first independently-developed supersonic jet engine.

[A350Blog @A350Blog]

The A350F’s most prominent feature is the large aft-mounted main-deck cargo door.

⚠️Already at FAL-Toulouse.

The #A350F has the largest main deck cargo door, at 175 in. (4,44m.) wide, allowing for the transport of large commercial aircraft engines, among other voluminous cargo.

[NASA Armstrong @NASAArmstrong]

Another milestone in a remarkable career: 1,000 flights!

After 38 years with NASA Armstrong, aerial photographer Carla Thomas completed her 1,000th flight. Carla has captured NASA history from the sky aboard more than 20 different high-performance and science aircraft.
