I was wondering how the stock market is handling the announcement of Hawaiian being bought out by Alaska Airlines.

People holding Alaska shares (NYSE: ALK) are being hit with a significant -14.31% drop, while the big winners are those holding Hawaiian shares (NASDAQ: HA), which is up a staggaring +192.59% today.

They are sledding in Munich, Germany due to very heavy snow over the weekend. Munich Int’l Airport was closed and restricted as removal equipment could not keep up with the pace of snowfall.

This one Citation sort of had a bad snow day.

This hour’s random desktop background on my #MacbookPro is the incredibly clean panel of a Basler BT-67.

If you do not know about Basler (located at KOSH), they take old DC-3s and C-47s and hang turboprop engines on them, and completely refurbish nose to tail, including some very clean custom panels with the latest and greatest digital tools installed.

Yes, I want one.

#aerospace #airplanes How much sales impact do side windows have in planes? Couldn't they be replaced with a flat screen, to avoid no-view fog/ clouds.

it would simplify safety if your metal tube doesn't need loads of holes in it

Not a very good photo, too low contrast. But there is a shiny 4 engine prop plane flying to the left above the clouds.

This exchange ought to give you a clue as to where this hour’s random desktop background on my #MacbookPro was taken:

“(Redacted) Tower, United 645, Lima, one-zero thousand, speed one six zero.”

Tower: “United 645, cleared for the ILS two-five left approach, reduce speed to one-four-zero.”

“One-four-zero now, cleared for the ILS two-five left approach, United 645.”

I was out playing in the stormy #ORWX tonight in my #XPlane #flightsim, flying from up in the Dalles (Columbia Gorge…hello crosswinds!) back to Eugene (KEUG).

When I arrived in heavy rain back at my real-life old hangar (the closest one to the runway in the infamous Lane Ducks row), some goober in another 172SP had poached my spot because of the precip.

One call to Airport Operations and he was chained down back out on the ramp.

Real interesting picture. Plane is parked at some airport. The plane has an old Frontier Airlines registration, Southwest titles on the tail and the livery is the 80's Continental Airlines Gold and Red livery.

Hmm, I long for the days of menus on airplanes. I hear you can get it on First Class still... Wait... never mind. I'll pack my own food, thanks. #airplanes #food #travel #aviation #dogfood (via Conrad Wu at https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10161665159120774&set=a.10150173036610774&type=3&ref=embed_post)

Calling all pilots and #avgeeks

I just stumbled on metar-taf.com, which has a very user-friendly interface and a livestream of real-time WX at any reporting airport.

Not affiliated or anything, just thought I’d pass this along. Search for your airport in upper right corner. Then hit the LIVESTREAM link at top. Enjoy!

Growing numbers of people are following @gretathunberg in avoiding plane trips — but greener travel can be costly.

It's 1939 and your flying through the Boston airport. You could have ducked in and had a bite to eat at the "Air-Port" restaurant.

Hollywood in the 1920s was fascinated by aeroplanes (Wings was the first Academy Award winner). Weddings in the sky, like this one in High Flying George (1927), were commonplace.

I would expect strong, straight-line #winds but doesn't seem to be rotating.

This is most #dangerous for #airplanes on #final.

In which state did this occur?
