  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 Arado Ar 234 V6 was the first four-engine prototype of the Ar 234. It used four BMW 003 turbojets in separate nacelles under the wings. It still used the take off trolly and landing skid. destinationsjourney.com/histor #aviation #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #AradoAr234 #bomber #Luftwaffe #reconnaissance #SecondWorldWar #WorldWarTwo #WW2

  3. First flying on 28 December 1933, the Loire 70 was a long-range maritime reconnaissance flying boat designed for the French Navy. Seven production aircraft were ordered and along with the prototype served with Escadrille E7 at Karouba in Tunisia. An Italian air raid destroyed 3 of the 4 surviving aircraft. destinationsjourney.com/histor #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #aviation #FlyingBoat #FrenchAirForce #Loire70 #SecondWorldWar #WorldWarTwo #WW2

  4. When Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, many experienced Polish airmen escaped through Romania to France, determined to continue the fight against the Axis powers. Among the aircraft types they flew in combat during the Battle of France, was the Morane-Saulnier M.S.406, France’s principal fighter at the outbreak of World War II. destinationsjourney.com/histor #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #aviation #fighter #MoraneSaulnierMS406 #PolishAirForce #SecondWorldWar #WorldWarTwo #WW2

  5. Bloch MB.177 French Bomber
    To enable the use of Hispano-Suiza 12Y31 engines on the MB.174 airframe, the MB.177 incorporated redesigned engine mounts. The engines proved to be underpowered. The sole example was captured by German forces and taken to Rechlin for evaluation. destinationsjourney.com/histor #ReconnaissanceBomber #aerialwarfare #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #ArmeeDeLair #aviation #BlochMB177 #bomber #FrenchAirForce #Military #SecondWorldWar #warfare #WorldWartwo #WW2 #WWII

  6. Bloch MB.210 in German Service
    Following the German occupation of France, a number of MB.210 aircraft were operated briefly by the Luftwaffe for training. A small number were operated by Bulgaria and Romania, with Spain also receiving three aircraft. destinationsjourney.com/histor #aerialwarfare #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #ArmeeDeLair #aviation #BlochMB210 #bomber #FrenchAirForce #Military #Luftwaffe #SecondWorldWar #warfare #WorldWartwo #WW2 #WWII

  7. Bloch MB.480 Floatplane
    Designed as a twin-engined torpedo-bomber/reconnaissance floatplane for the French Navy, the Bloch MB.480 first flew in June 1939. Although testing was successfully completed, the Navy had decided to use landplanes for its intended role.

  8. The Bloch MB.135 bomber made its maiden flight on 12 January 1939 A development of the Bloch MB.131 it was designed as a medium bomber for the French Air Force Despite promising performance, it was not entered into production as it did not represent a sufficient improvement of existing bombers destinationsjourney.com/histor #aerialwarfare #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #aviation #BlochMB135 #bomber #FrenchAirForce #Military #plane #reconnaissanceaircraft #warfare #Luftwaffe #WorldWarTwo #SecondWorldWar

  9. The Bloch MB.134 bomber made its maiden flight on 22 July 1939. A landing accident on 21 April 1940 resulted in seriously damage when a landing gear strut collapsed following the in-flight failure of a hydraulic fluid reservoir. With the fall of France it was not repaired and no further development took place.#aerialwarfare #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #aviation #BlochMB134 #bomber #FrenchAirForce #Military #plane #reconnaissanceaircraft #warfare #Luftwaffe #WorldWarTwo #SecondWorldWar

  10. 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

  11. The Twin Otter was originally designed by De Havilland Canada in the 60’s.

    It is a twin-engine turboprop aircraft that can carry up to 19 passengers and is designed for rugged terrain journeys.

    In Malaysia, it is usually used to transport passengers and cargo to remote locations where the Short Take-off and Landing (STOL) ports are located.

  12. MKM is equipped with 100 parking bays, 20 taxi parking bays, 20 motorcycle parking bays and 2 bus parking bays for public convenience.

    This airport enables the important connectivity between the highlands and provides the surrounding communities access to daily supplies and medicine amongst others.

  13. The new Mukah Airport (MKM) officially opened on 17 June 2021 to replace the previous Mukah STOLport.

    MKM is able to cater up to 260,000 passengers per year and equipped with a 1.5km runway for turboprop and helicopter operations.

    The runway can be extended to accommodate larger aircraft, such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 in the future.
