I was in Lisbon for a week while an aviation festival was going on and I didn't know about it? Devastating honestly.

Doing a little impromptu spotting before dinner in Lisbon. Caught the Brussels Airlines Tintin in Space Livery.

The KLM livery looks pretty horrible on the a350 for some reason. Did they change it?

Unexpectedly had to get a wisdom tooth out and the pharmacy was on the champs Élysée. Not sure if anyone else here is holding a bag of frozen peas on their face. They told me no alcohol but I'm heading to Oktoberfest in Munich tomorrow lol.

Got lucky as it's European Heritage days here and got a tour of the inside of the Dassault Mercure 100. Only 12 produced and a tremendous commercial failure due to range. However, very cool to see and the people that maintain it were great.

TIL that BA 787-10s are not currently equipped with crew rest areas and if the flight is full the crew don't even have access to cabin seats. According to an FA new deliveries are coming with crew rest but odd they didn't come with them originally.

Adding to my day of many many delays (the reason im at lhr at all) my LHR-CDG flight is delayed twenty minutes due to downstream delays from a drone.

N936CA flying into SEA, previously the supertanker, still bearing it's livery, RIP

Got a nice Blue Angels view at work

This halftime show is quick the trip. Like who had the idea for Electric Thunder to introduce BTS and then Ted Lasso to introduce a Justin Bieber acoustic solo? Followed by Kermit, Chris Martin and some elementary schoolers? What is going on.

2x Apache and 2x Blackhawks basically touching while the anthem finished

The US national team departing, taken from the stadium

All the private jets leaving BFI after the match. Including a Qatar exec which makes sense as they're a title sponsor of the world cup.

Seeing several people on twitter asserting that Kalitta 492 is carrying hantavirus cruise passengers back to the US. I'm skeptical as it's a 747-400F. A few people have said they're using special bio containment passenger pods but none of this has any real sourcing. Anyone have real sources?

A nice "Mahalo, grazi, we'll see you in Rome" from the crew of AS180.

Printed a Rocky figurine from the files that the studio released. Came out great! All the supports kind of look like he just burst out of a shell.

AS 7M8 headed back to SEA after a KEF route proving flight. SEA-KEF starts 5/28.

Heck yes, get your pregame meal at Uwajimaya

The new 737 line is slowly expanding it seems. Tooling now takes up about a third of the bay. The fuselages that were there are gone but various other harnesses and equipment have moved in.

The Astros having a pitcher named JP France is very confusing to listen to as an M's fan.

AS9965, 787-9 headed to Prestwick for some sort of transatlantic proving I'd guess. Not going to LHR or FCO, maybe unnecessary to go all the way?

Anyone know what's up with DAL197 SEA-ICN? Got an hour in and turned around and now it's just sitting at the south end of 16L/34R

rockets are cool

Cancun (CUN) is probably the worst airport I've ever been through. It's just so packed and loud. I was wearing wearing earplugs and noise cancelling headphones and it was still too much.

First ever flight in First! I like the bluetooth capability on this DL A321N but the IFE has already been pretty buggy for both my seatmate and I.

Several flights sitting on the taxiways multiple hours after departure at SeaTac. Would not to want to be there rn.

What are the odds he just pardons her anyways

“The Government thus concedes that the President enjoys no inherent authority to impose tariffs during peacetime.” Good thing Trump has already penciled in starting a war with Iran next week.

Sam Darnold at the new Canes on the Ave!

Possibly the most insane clutch throw ive ever seen from Caleb Williams

Rather loud visitor made me check FR24. It was a 737-400SF, prev BA, first delivery in 1993 and converted to freight in 2017! Wonder how long it's been since a 737 Classic landed at SEA, I'd have to guess there's been almost none since AS retired it's combis.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

In case you needed more reasons to avoid twitter, there are multiple responses under the FAA post on the reopening of Louisville Muhammad Ali airport blaming the crash on the airport being named after a Muslim.

@petchmo.bsky.social Do you have any granular V/S data from B6 1230 N605JB from today? Experienced an inflight upset that injured three.

GE-NO GE-NO GE-NO GE-NO GE-NO GE-NO! #mariners

Here's the call from Rick Rizz. Chills!

This seahawks team is making me excited unlike any other in quite a while. #gohawks

Tough UW game but I got front row seats to Cal and got to dap up Grubi!

The ROOT sports broadcast team is great, and I hope they can keep covering the Mariners, but I can't help but hope the end of ROOT brings greater TV access to Seattle area fans. www.seattletimes.com/sports/marin...
