I like airplanes. Just because the AIR-2 is called a Genie doesn’t mean it grants wishes. Certified Century Fighter Connoisseur. Constitutionalist

@TomcatJunkie He’s 100% named after the greatest naval fighter. He’s also a menace.

@TomcatJunkie You ever think about getting your PPL?

[Trev Clark's Obscure Aviation History 🚁 @clark_aviation]

An original "Immelmann Turn" was not a half loop followed by a half roll. This was because Max Immelmann's Fokker Eindecker had poor roll rate but exceptional yaw ability. The half loop/half roll was developed later.

Naval Aviation isn't for the feint of heart.

Day trap in a sand storm.

[Rich "Corky" Erie @RSE_VB]

There was a troll in my feed recently saying that carrier landings aren’t that hard and not the hardest thing in aviation. Maybe, maybe not.

But do any non-Naval Aviators want to raise their hand and volunteer for this?

Based Toho as per usual

[Culture Crave 🍿 @CultureCrave]

Toho says it has no plans to use AI right now:

“Introducing AI will certainly lead to greater operational efficiency ... However, how to use it in the creative realm is a very troubling and difficult issue"

"There are also various legal challenges that remain. Therefore, at this stage, we do not intend to take the lead and actively introduce AI"
