This Etihad Airways B787-10 McLaren Racing Livery is simply stunning.
For the first time, a Formula 1 team's branding has appeared on a wide-body commercial aircraft featuring McLaren Racing's iconic papaya livery.

this video is a must-watch if you’re following the Florida Learjet crash:

A meteorologist and pilot wanted to know how is it that a plane equipped with Doppler radar did not see the storm ahead?

Turns out that the onboard radar can tilt and if the pilots had tilted it downwards, they would have seen that stronger storm building up.

How did they figure this out?

They took the actual National Weather Service Doppler radar data from the storm, then recalibrated and resampled it to simulate exactly what a Learjet’s onboard Collins WXR-840 X-band radar (the 3 cm wavelength system many of these jets carry) would have seen at 35,000 feet in −47 °C air.

The result is striking. At a normal 0° tilt, the returns look like faint ice-phase echoes. A nothingburger, basically.

Tilt the same radar down roughly 5° and it suddenly lights up with the stronger lower core of a rapidly intensifying storm directly ahead.

NWS data shows the storm tops were around 31,000 ft just before the jet penetrated, shot up to 40,000 ft while they were in it, then collapsed back to ~33,000 ft after they exited.

This confirms that they flew into a storm cloud with explosive growth and collapse with violent updrafts and downdrafts, exactly the kind of thing an X-band radar looking straight ahead at cruise altitude can easily under-sample.

@EricBurrisWX walks through the radar geometry, the crystal reflectivity at those temperatures, and low-key gives one of the clearest, most technically grounded explanations out there.

now that was epic.

Dr. Evil asked for one simple thing. Last night in front of 100,000+ fans at Neyland Stadium, we delivered and sent two sharks, armed with functional laser beams, swimming across the 50-yard line.

@brithume "Exceptionally bright, well informed, and highly articulate"? Well now we know what you'd say about Himmler. You Fox people.. As a moderate lean GOP voter most of the time (not this election), your all's takes are just insane.

@kershaw_alex At this point in 42 war's outcome in favor of the Allies was a foregone conclusion. The BOB was long lost by Germany & it was depleting itself against Soviets. Operation Torch was beginning. Japanese were done after Midway. Industrial base already ramping up. I'd say early 1942.

@RepYassAnsari As a lifetime mod GOP voter crossing party lines this election to send a message against GOP insanity people like you reward us with instant overreaching hyperbolic insanity on the left. On something you clearly know nothing about. Good lord STFU already b/f you ruin the moment.

@FoulTerritoryTV Having attended games 4 and 5 in Tampa, it went both ways. The Rays fans and St Pete in general were extremely nice and respectful to Brewers fans. Both teams have great cultures, great players, great cities and great fanbases.

A B-1 bomber suffered landing gear failure at Edwards AFB. As aircraft was skidding down dry lake bed,tower controller asked if they needed assistance.
Through the shower of smoke, dust, and sparks came the response from B-1 bomber crew...

"Dunno - we ain't done crashing' yet."

@Victoria_Spartz I’ve been a moderate GOP voter my whole life. Your failure to acknowledge your own sins and blame others, a feature not a bug of MAGA, is exactly why so many moderate GOP voters crossed party lines last night to vote your ilk out. Go home. You’re irrelevant now thank goodness.
