  1. Just made my first gear up belly landing in my #Xplane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision jet on RWY 08 at KDEN. Haven't flown in a while, fair amount of distractions tonight. I did however make it off into the grass so the airport and runway remains open.

    Pretty sure it will buff out. No pics, you can imagine what carbon fiber sliding along asphalt at 100 kts might look like. (Hamburger).

    Now to call the boss.

Kennedy International airport inspired a group from the AirLab in Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute (RI) to create World2Rules, an AI system that learns interpretable safety rules from data to analyze, verify and explain potential […]

  4. Private Jet, an Atlanta-based carrier that operated in the early 1990s.

    Despite the name, they weren't flying corporate Gulfstreams—they were a "low-fare, no-frills" scheduled airline flying MD-80s with a focus on connecting Atlanta, Chicago-Midway, and Miami. Here are 2x 1993 schedules.

    This afternoon, 4 or 5 jets like this flew almost over the house. They were flying below the clouds going east southeast.

    I wonder if they can be identified from this photo.

    Also, I wonder if anyone knows how to find flight tracker info.

    The flights were every 5 - 10 minutes starting around 6:00 pm Central Savings Time.

    I'll put a map in a comment...
