While I think it's good to be inclusive, I personally like to think of myself as an Airman so I continue to expand NOTAM that way in my mind.Nebakenezzer posted:Ha: The A-100 is being delayed due to sanctions Wait until you find out when the Su-25 first flew

It's all sad. The crying Russian conscript, the crying Ukrainian father saying goodbye to his daughter, the crying mothers for their sons on both sides. If the world has any justice left in it, Putin will be getting a free ride to a field outside of town from his own people sometime soon.

I think some middle aged Ukranians venting a little rage against the soldiers of an occupying army by yelling at them is pretty harmless overall and probably makes the Ukranians feel a little better

Speaking of old planes, it was mentioned at a staff meeting this week that the B-52's 70th anniversary of first flight is coming up in about a month. Even the youngest B-52's were built in 1962 and will be turning 60.

An225 is probably dead as the Russians sieged the Antonov Airfield to the North of Kyiv looking to establish an airhead for their invasion. Pour one out for the great big bird. https://twitter.com/canada_osint/status/1497895456583475204 Edit: The partially complete airframe (~70% built) is in the concrete hangar, seen in the third image below. It would take a hundred million or two to get it airworthy, if it survives the war undamaged.

Aren’t there a number of industrial operations that relied on that plane to transport certain equipment that couldn’t be moved by any other means? They would sure be in a pickle right about now.

I dunno I think repairing all of the roads, bridges, railways, power lines, water lines, sewers, homes, schools, commercial buildings, Chernobyl and burying all of their war dead might take precedent over finishing some airplane only the Exxon's or the musks of the world care about.

They had the one flyable and another that was 70% complete they were trying to finish, hopefully between the two there's enough to rebuild.

Today I learned Antonov 12s visit my local airport. I heard a loud turboprop go over so I checked Flightaware, it shows an An-12 belonging to Cavok of Ukraine. I found video of one landing here last month, it’s a very handsome machine. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wv1QvJ5HeHU

Track shows it coming from Texas, likely carrying industrial cargo of some sort, there’s lots of manufacturing around here.

It's not just the 225, several Antonov 124s have also been lost during the conflict so far. Additionally, if cargo ops can no longer overfly Russia, that changes the balance of an already struggling transport industry. This dude's got a good thread on it: https://twitter.com/typesfast/status/1497656877731094528?t=VKTveJENYakctOKBq8k5cg&s=19
