Boarding a Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) Douglas DC-3! ✈️

This vintage postcard captures the early days of California's iconic "Smile Airline" (founded in 1949). Look at those stylish passengers walking right out onto the tarmac to board. No jet bridges, no massive security lines—just pure mid-century aviation charm.

The idea of stretching the 777X and A350 is not new... But can these extra-long #aircraft fit in? The newest widebody terminal facilities were planned and designed assuming a notional 80 m-long and -wide airliners at best. So far, no "New Large Aircraft" has crossed the edges of that imaginary containment box.

It's always interesting when you open a flight tracker and see a plane doing something STRANGE. This 787 from Boeing Field, Seattle currently looping around out there, specifically right off my coast. A Boeing test flight of some sort, I would guess?

#DYK? There are ways to recycle #airliners. Value can be extracted from retired #aircraft. It's no longer just about the main parts & equipment! Most of the plane can find new purposes & even the remaining items that need to be discarded can find a sustainable use: https://www.easa.europa.eu/en/light/topics/sustainability-end-life-phase-aircraft. ✈️♻️ #engineering #recycling #STEM

On the one hand, it's good to know that a Boeing 737 can land safely after a window blows out in midair. On the other, I'm not sure I could ever get myself back in a plane if I'd been seated anywhere close to the blowout.

DC-3 Eastern Airlines, New England Air Museum, Connecticut Eastern Airlines bore the title 'The Great Silver Fleet' on their airliners for some years. They were also a significant user of Douglas's masterpiece, the DC-3. Here we see a fine example in the New England Air Museum in Connecticut. This aircraft was built as a DC-3, but taken over by the USAAF on the production line, and issued as a C-49J. From 1942 to April 1945 it undertook the many duties of a wartime transport, until converted back to a DC-3 and purchased by Eastern Airlines. #Connecticut, #C49 #Douglas #EasternAirlines #NEAM #NewEnglandAirMuseum #NewEngland #aviation #history #photography #aviationphotography #TheGreatSilverFleet #WW2 #USAAF #airliners #trooptransport #aviationlovers #avgeek #aviationgeek #airline

The #dog has gone back to barking at #airliners, after my daughter came home briefly in between an internship and college. We told him "she's on an airplane" and now he's warily guarding the yard from airplanes, lest they steal any more of his humans!
