DOD and Honeywell have successfully flown an aircraft for more than four hours from Seattle to Alaska over the Pacific without GPS, using quantum magnetic navigation. Next: They plan to demonstrate the technology on a U.S. military C-17 Globemaster III later this year. www.war.gov/News/News-St...

As I said a while earlier... Vote BinFace! A UK by-election in which the decent candidate has a bin for a head. The other one is astonishingly corrupt.

A remarkable statistic from @gregorynorminton.bsky.social for those residing in the UK and struggling under excessive energy prices I'd think this question of pegging energy price irrelevantly to the gas price should be asked of your MPs. The high energy price pain, it would seem, isn't necessary.

Is this proof of life after death? courtesy of reused transponder IDs and @flightradar24.com we can imagine the spirit of this old Delta Mad Dog reincarnated and playing in the skies over central Thailand. What a lovely thought
Screenshot of a small aircraft on a flightradar24 flight tracking map in which the transponder code correlares with the old code of a now broken up Delta MD90 which is pictured in the FR24 app as incorrectly representing the image of the small plane over rural Thailand. This invokes the Buddhist idea of re-incarnation with the spirit of the old Delta plane now free of its mortal bonds happily flying on in quieter skies.

Venitian diamond above the city at dawn.
Dawn (pre-sunrise) over Bangkok City scape with many high rise buildings and lights still on. Strands of cloud help make the orange-red glow in the lower sky all the more dramatic whilst high above a thicker distant cloudbank the dark blue sky contains one white shining Diamond which is Venus.

80 years ago on 6th August 1945 at 09:15 a.m a B-29 Superfortress "Enola Gay" dropped an atomic bomb named "Little Boy" on the city of Hiroshima. The bomb exploded 800ft above the target with the force of 20,000 tonnes of TNT. "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds": Robert Oppenheimer.

Have to recommend Steve's Cockpit Casual channel on YouTube here also. Very relaxing well edited story-telling. Wonderful for Avgeeks but for general interest too with National geographic style cultural and regional content included. Truly enjoyable viewing.

Two ARJ-21s of Trans Nusa at Jakarta. Since been re-branded as C909s and arguably ex DC-9/B.717s too, certainly descended from that lineage.

Visiting Victorville's vast aviation storage vault! Over 100 Ex FedEx DC-10/MD11 trijets alone, even a handful of 727s too plus multiple other aircraft types of varied histories and schemes. 18 Qantas 717s and two of their now tail-less A380s also of note. An awesome site/sight in the desert! 😍
Stored aircraft soon parked in the distance  in the Victorville airfield desert storage.

Loving the Mojave bone yard. Classic jets, a few of which I've flown on. Have a soft spot for trijets so was magic to see the last operational Tristar on the ramp too.

If you want a better understanding of how USA politics got itself in such a mess then watch this lecture. Eliot is the first I have come across with an explanation of how we became so disfunctional. There is a specific example explaining the origin of one of the many untruths pedalled by Trump.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.
