My favourite is when you get something like fin 333 is on flight 332 and dispatch calls and says 332 wants to talk to you on Regina PAL and fin 332 is in Regina or something and you're like who shot who in the what now?

I was staring out this window for about 30 minutes before I realized something was weird. I guess TWA got absorbed by American when it folded.

I guess American kept it all going when they bought US Airways. But then that means that this is the most sad retro livery:

Yeah apparently it's some sort of promotion where American's painted retro liveries on some of their planes. https://apex.aero/2015/12/03/heritage-livery-flies-again-american-airlines-retro-rollout

I saw one of these in San Diego. It's...man, the cold war. Hell of a thing. It's deceptive because they've got it mounted on a pedestal outside the museum and so you don't necessarily see the skis right away. But then you do, and the questions set in, like "who? Why? Why? WHY?" still pretty awesome though

There's an aerostat moored close to Key West that's used to monitor drug running operations- about a decade ago somebody flew into its mooring cable. Mildly damaged the cable, cut the C182's wing off. I spent a lot of time wondering why one of the Victor airways down there has a MSA of 14,500'. That's why.

I mean if you can use artillery instead of an air strike you really should. Those planes can only hold so many bombs and someone not in range of artillery might need them soon.
