Interesting. Hmmm. Been there done that wayyyy back in 2006 from SAN-LAS on an HP flt #234 since we both worked there and met there. Notice the plane tie on @SashasHandler#aviation#avgeeks
It was love at first sight for York, a Southwest Pilot, and Sabrina, a fellow aviation-lover, when they met in person for the first time at a Southwest ticket counter at LAS. It was only fitting, then, for the couple to be married on a Southwest flight from LAS to SLC.

51 years ago tonight, the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in Lake Superior with all 29 crew...
She left Superior, Wisconsin, on November 9, 1975, bound for Detroit. The next day a powerful November storm hit the lake with gusts estimated over 70 mph and waves later modeled at more than 25 feet.
Around 7:10 PM the captain radioed “We are holding our own,” and minutes later the ship vanished from radar about 17 miles from Whitefish Bay.
A year later, Gordon Lightfoot turned the story into “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” and it’s still how most people know it today.
Hey, young pilots:
If you aspire to the airlines, realize that it’s a small community & someone always knows you. *If* you get an interview, you’ll have to explain why you thought it was a good idea to make TikTok dances while taxiing an airplane.
NTSB investigators have recovered the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) of the Learjet 60 that crashed on Nov. 1 near Greenacres, Florida. The CVR was located at the site of initial impact. The CVR is being evaluated in the NTSB Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C. The excavation work at the impact site has been completed.
Learjet 60 high-speed rejected takeoff✈️
Watch the rollout: both thrust reversers come out while the jet is still moving fast, and you can see the blue surfaces of the clamshell doors on each PW305A engine. The numbers matter here. At typical weights, the Lear 60’s V1 sits somewhere in the low-to-mid 120s kt, with Vr a few knots above it. Weight, flaps, temperature and runway length all move those figures. Below about 80 kt, you can reject for almost any abnormal. Between 80 kt and V1, the bar is much higher: engine failure, fire, loss of directional control, or something that makes the aircraft unsafe to fly. Past V1, the decision is already made, and you fly the airplane.
The Pacific Northwest is about to get hit with storm after storm this week...
It kicks off tonight with gusts up to 60 mph on the coast, then an atmospheric river comes in Tuesday night.
Parts of the Olympic Peninsula could see 12–14 inches of rain by Saturday, with Seattle picking up 2–3" and Astoria 4–6".
On this week’s AvTalk podcast, what we've learned so far about the crash of N722BD. And the NTSB releases its report on a quadruple runway incursion at JFK. https://t.co/lOznuZLD2h
For the first time in 44 YEARS, a tropical storm has formed in the Central Pacific in November...
Pena becomes the 26th tropical storm to form in this year's record-breaking Pacific hurricane season, and it is expected to remain well south of Hawaii over the next several days.
A record 737-10 order takes Avolon to new heights!

The 777-9 flight-test team landed at Keflavik International Airport for the first time, marking the 10th country the jet has visited. #TeamBoeing continues comprehensive flight testing around the globe on the world’s largest twin-engine jet as we work toward the airplane’s planned first delivery in 2027.
The 777-9 test fleet has logged more than 5,100 flight hours across more than 1,800 flights.

@scottiebateman There’s no sense to what is coming out on social
Media. Missiles, etc. no it was a plane. Anyone that knows aviation, that the female pilot was not the PIC. She was monitoring the flt. She had a certification. Let’s stop the rumors. Wait until NTSB does their investigation
