  1. As far as I’m concerned, Trump’s just given the Canadian aircraft company “Bombardier” the best publicity it can get! Come the lottery win, I’ve already chosen my personal daily flyer.
    Go Canada!!!

  2. The Focke-Wulf Ta 154 Moskito was a twin-engined German night fighter aircraft designed by Kurt Tank and produced by Focke-Wulf during late World War II. About 50 production aircraft were completed, and a number of the A-0 pre-production aircraft were modified to production standard. An unknown number of the aircraft served with Nachtjagdgeschwader 3. destinationsjourney.com/histor #Luftwaffe #WorldWarTwo #SecondWorldWar #Aviation #aeroplane #airplane #fighter

  3. Avia 534 in German Service. Germany confiscated a large number of Avia B-534 fighters from Czechoslovakia, subsequently using them as fighter trainers in several fighter pilot training schools. They were also used as glider tugs and target tugs.

  4. The museum has one very famous civilian #Aeroplane and that is the first British #Concorde to be flight tested (in 1969 I think). It’s still the only #Supersonic civil aircraft to have gone into service. Here are its starboard #JetEngines.

  5. The Supermarine Walrus served with the Argentine Naval Aviation (Aviación Naval Argentina) during the 1940s and 50s, providing the navy with a versatile amphibious aircraft capable of operating from both land bases and the sea.

    Argentina acquired two aircraft in 1940 and a further eight from 1946 to 1950.

    Da flog ein Airbus A380 hoch über dem Haus, möglicherweise von den Emiraten, aber das kann ich nicht so genau erkennen.

  7. Curtiss Model D Pusher, 1912 (replica). Glenn Curtiss was engaged, sometimes in a legal sense, in a fight with the Wright Brothers for dominance in the world of early aviation - Curtiss machines had ailerons, rather than the Wright-designed wing warping, for roll control. Although the Model D suffered, as did most of the early pusher designs, from higher drag due to the wide-spaced rear fuselage frame members, it was still a useful machine, performing both the first take-off from a vessel (Nov. 1910) and the first landing (Jan. 1911). This replica is of a 'headless pusher', so called by Curtiss because the earlier forward mounted canard control surfaces were omitted in this model #earlyaviation #biplane #GlennCurtiss #Curtiss #aeroplane #pusher #aircraft #navalaviation #USA #WrightBrothers #avgeek #aviationlovers #CurtissModelD #museum #replica

    Retro SciFi Film of the Week…

    Things to Come (1936)

    H. G. Wells wrote The Shape of Things to Come in 1933 when he predicted WWII and many other events and inventions that would come true. He even predicted that men would wear culotte miniskirts and shave their legs. (Actually, predicting WWII wasn’t that extraordinary of a feat, everybody saw it coming.)

    This big-budget British-made adaptation is one of the classics of science fiction. The story covers the future from 1940 to 2036. I think it comes across as pompous and bombastic, but apparently audiences at the time liked it.

    This film is available for free download and is in the public domain, even though the Supreme Court says it isn't.

    I’ll include more in this thread under a spoiler warning…
