💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: ✈️🔋 Heart #Aerospace completed a 27 minute test flight with its X1 #prototype, marking a milestone for battery-powered #flight.

The #aircraft flew without jet #fuel, pointing toward lower operational costs and reduced #emissions for regional #aviation. Engineers are now scaling the findings into a hybrid model designed for longer commercial routes.

Welp, here's something you don't see every day. It's one of two airworthy Howard 500s. What's a Howard 500, you ask? It's a WWII warplane converted into a business aircraft. Specifically, this plane was a Lockheed Ventura. I saw this one literally pushed out of the way (off of the tarmac) at the Stead Airport north of Reno, Nevada. There were a dozen or more fire tankers on the tarmac so they tractored the old Howard out of the way.

OK, SMOKIN' airplane deal inbound:

#PiperAircraft has announced a great deal on some of their M700 Fury inventory.

If you buy the M700 from a Piper dealer, they will give you, free, for FIVE YEARS...

Maintenance

And the big one...

Fuel.

The P&W PT6A-52 burns roughly 50–60 gallons of Jet-A per hour in normal cruise. The Average U.S. FBO pump price today is about $7.73/gal (nationwide) so a savings on fuel alone of about $425/hr.

How many felonies for hijaking the WiFi for an airplane and gather passenger data without consent? A lot:

1. Computer Fraud
2. Wire Fraud
3. Flight Crew/Attendants Interference
4. Aircraft system interference
5. Identity Theft

Yep, they're going to jail straight from landing.

13.9 Million Foreign Tourists Arrived In Vietnam During First 7 Months Of 2026

With tourism industry of Vietnam is undeniably growing rapidly as almost fourteen million foreign tourists arrived there during the first seven months of 2026, according to report by VnExpress.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of VnExpress. Some parts in boldface…

Vietnam welcomed 13.9 million international arrivals during the first seven months this year, up 13.8% from a year earlier, as the country’s image as a safe and stable destination continued to attract travelers amid geopolitical tensions worldwide.

In July alone, the number of foreign visitors to Vietnam reached 1.67 million, down 0.7% year-on-year, according to the General Statistics Office (GSO).

Mainland China remained the largest source of visitors so far this year with 3.08 million, followed by South Korea with 2.38 million.

The rest of the top 10 were Russia, Taiwan, the U.S., Cambodia, India, Japan, the Phillippines and Australia.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Considering how many foreign tourists it attracted so far this year, do you think Vietnam will eventually hit 24 million foreign tourist arrivals by the end of 2026? Do you think the new Long Thanh International Airport will somehow help attract a large number of overseas travelers once it starts operating this December?

Vietnam Surpasses Thailand As Southeast Asia’s 2nd Largest Aviation Market

With its booming tourism industry making huge economic impact, Vietnam surpassed Thailand as and emerged as the 2nd largest aviation market in Southeast Asia this past July, according to a news report by VnExpress.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of VnExpress. Some parts in boldface…

Vietnam surpassed Thailand to become the second largest Southeast Asian aviation market with 7.4 million seats in July, an increase in capacity of 5.6% year-on-year, according to a report by British aviation analytics firm OAG.

Indonesia remained the largest Southeast Asia market with 10.9 million seats, up 0.3% year-on-year.

Thailand, which held the second spot in previous months, slipped to third place with 6.9 million seats, a 3% reduction in capacity, followed by Malaysia and the Phillippines. The report said capacity reduced in Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines due to the Middle East crisis.

Vietnam Airlines is the largest airline in Southeast Asia in July with 2.81 million seats, growing by just 0.1% year-on-year, according to OAG.

Overall capacity in the Southeast Asian market reduced by 1.2% compared to July last year to 50.4 million seats due to rising fuel costs triggered by political tensions in the Middle East, OAG reported.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Considering its rapidly growing tourism industry, were you surprised that Vietnam registered 7.4 million seats this past July? Considering what was achieved recently, do you think Vietnam will grow further as an aviation market once its new Long Thanh International Airport becomes operational?
