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!!!

The Blackburn firebrand was a carrier based strike fighter of the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. Originally designed as a fighter, its low performance led to a redesign as a strike fighter.https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/blackburn-firebrand/ #BlackburnFirebrand #TorpedoFighter #StrikeAircraft #RoyalNavy #FleetAirArm #fighter #fighterplane #plane #aeroplane #aircraft #airplane #aviation #aerialwarfare #military #navy #naval #navalaviation

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…

Today's Daily Photograph is taken through the window of an #aeroplane flying from #Norway to the #Netherlands back in #April of #2015.
It's an automated #HighDynamicRange (#HDR) merge by #GooglePhotos of 3 #AutoExposureBracketing (#AEB) shots taken with my #Canon #EOS1000D, and shows one of the #airplane's engines as well as the #sky and #surface below.
