@SpeedSportLife I recently realized on the 992, it keeps the whole rear light bar on, not just one side. Still a pretty cool easter egg!

@ShivAroor @ndtv PAF never flew the F-86D as mentioned in the article

Air India can be a chaotic airline at times, delays, changes and outdated cabins are well-known issues but they aren't unsafe. Their staff is well-trained and India has some of the strictest aviation regulations in the world. I had over 20+ flights on them in the past and I would always fly them again. My thoughts and prayers are with the airline and families today!

@ShekharGupta @javariaranaa The Pechora is the SA-3

[Ratish Nair @ratishna]

TIL the Cybertruck is as stealthy as it looks 😃

@TrungTPhan Small nit - 747s carried ~400 pax. The only time it took upwards of 800 was when Israel airlifted Ethiopian refugees in 1991.

@Doctor_Astro @USC I guess that’s Biegler hall with the picture taken from Olin. Spent a lot of time at SAL nearby a long time ago!

Which one are you taking? Retweet for Piper, Like for Cessna

[Ratish Nair @ratishna]

@Aviation_Intel The F-105 for being surprisingly large for a tactical jet, let alone a single engined one.

@anshumig @IAF_MCC Actually looks like a VooDoo

[Ratish Nair @ratishna]

@jameselmer73 @PHMattB Not by default, but easily assigned to one of those shortcuts buttons. Also works through voice command.

@cvvhrn @WatcherCtp @jetcitystar @mtjarrott @PaintingSurfer @thenewarea51 @TheSnoopySnoop @Watching_Planes @Moffiin13 @spottinbayarea @AlaskaAir_17 Amazing pic! I have been lucky to see her up close at KNUQ over the years. I find it most fascinating that this bird flew for the Indian Air Force until the early 1960s after having been salvaged from a USAAF scrapyard near Delhi. The tales she could tell if she could talk..

[Ratish Nair @ratishna]

@Doctor_Astro Really nice plane. How does it feel going from a 182 to an Archer?

[Ratish Nair @ratishna]

@cvvhrn I have been on a night flight into KPAO where we busted KNUQ Class D and ended up with an ASRS report. I wasn't PIC, but certainly challenging if one's unfamiliar.

@WatcherCtp @129RQW @15thWing @PlanesOfMoffett @EightOneECHO @spottinbayarea @dave16hc @cvvhrn @mtjarrott @philmc100 Amazing shots! Crisp and clear!

[Ratish Nair @ratishna]

@spottinbayarea You need to build an Osprey next ;) What scale do you build?

[Ratish Nair @ratishna]

@sajaniaf The Lightning never had under wing tanks due to the landing gear arrangement. The overwing tanks only appeared much later in its life (F.6s). Wonder what low speed (if that was possible with it ;)) minimums were to jettison them.

[Ratish Nair @ratishna]

@WatcherCtp @cvvhrn @spottinbayarea Woah! EK 380s are back!
