@AirlineFlyer @flightradar24 This made me go look, and wow I forgot how long it’s been in my attic for.

[Benjamin Granucci @BLGranucci]

@WandrMe Good luck, Seth!

[Benjamin Granucci @BLGranucci]

@BranomJaeden From Century Circle, any airborne aircraft will be pretty high.

Before Covid, there was a public tour of the base monthly that included the AF Flight Test Museum. I’m not seeing any information on it now, but it might be worth calling the base PAO.

@AirlineFlyer @WillErazo440 I believe they retrofitted their P32AC-DM fleet at least partially with the hatches required for use in the Park Ave Tunnel.

I’ve seen them run into GCT with a locomotive at both ends. However the better option is just to use the loop track to turn around.

@MiddleSeatView In st least some of them, it’s the combination of no auto headlights and a dash that is always illuminated. Often there’s just a single icon on the dash that illuminates to indicate the headlights are on.

If there are daytime running lights, it’s even easier to do.

@atclew58 @garycirlin @LEGO_Group Where are his wands? <ducks>

@apoure25 I’m right there with you. After 4 years of college, I was done and have never had a desire to reenter that sort of educational environment.

I’ve continued to take additional training and gain certifications, but they’ve all been short term or at my own pace.

@AirlineFlyer Predictably, they did not disappoint!

Happiness at #SpotLAX2023 is waking up to a @JetTipNet alert for that sweet special livery you’ve been chasing for a while. #avgeek

@AirlineFlyer Given that it’s jacked up on blocks, I wonder how much Sandy water is still inside.

Burn it down, start over.

How would you like to be on this plane last night coming into Denver? Photo from Stacey Long.

@4cast4you Peekskill NY right now. Impossible to tell where clouds end and smoke begins except for when the sun disappears.

[Benjamin Granucci @BLGranucci]

@AirlineFlyer It’s got a Bluetooth speaker and apparently a disco mode that can’t be turned off.

[Benjamin Granucci @BLGranucci]

@AirlineFlyer My god, this is painful in so many levels.
