"New airliner sets record flying 24 hrs nonstop from Australia to France" by @arstechnica - #Airbus A350-1000ULR #AIB35LR test flight Melbourne-Toulouse eastbound (long way around) took 24 hours and 25 minutes. It flew over Los Angeles & London. It was record longest non-stop unrefueled flight by an airliner. It wasn't a scheduled passenger flight, which is a different category record this model will probably also take after certification. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/07/new-airliner-sets-record-flying-24-hrs-nonstop-from-australia-to-france/ #A35K #aviation #travel #avgeek

They turned, now headed for direct overflight of the Los Angeles metro area. Anyone know an #avgeek friend with telescope who can get pics of a widebody jet at 41000ft? Ping them. Please add pics in this thread. (attn @ai6yr )

North American #avgeek alert: if you're on the path of the #Airbus A350-1000ULR flight test #AIB35LR and can take a picture of an airplane at altitude, get your telescopes and cameras ready. It will fly over California and cross the USA and Canada on the way to France. No stops are planned. And the ULR is an incremental update on the A350-1000LR. So as tests go, it's likely to go smoothly. #A35K #aviation #travel #avgeek
