Saw this pop up on the UToob and thought it was worth sharing.
Someone scratch-built an R/C Connie, and this is a great video of a flight demo. Lots going on here, but from the looks of the landing, it appears the wind shifted as the pilot had to work overtime to get it back on the ground with a pro-level crab. (watch to the very end).
Just flew into KFKN in my #XPlane #flightsim. Had this been a real flight, this is how I assume the ATC comms would have gone down:
"FKN tower, November 251 Charlie Victor inbound with whiskey."
"One Charlie Victor, where are you landing?"
"The FKN airport."
"No need for profanity, state your destination."
"I'm landing at the FKN airport. Are you in the FKN tower?"
"Yes we have a tower, but it's not a FKN tower."
"Never FKN mind."

Perspektivenwechsel - immer mal wieder nötig!
Was just asked by a family member how this could have happened in busy L.A. airspace in the era of mandatory ADS-B out:
Via ABC News:
"Southwest flight descends 475 feet to avoid 'midair collision' with Hawker Hunter - The incident occurred shortly after take off from Hollywood Burbank Airport."
I have no answers. SWA should have been on with L.A. Center, who should have gave them vectors for traffic. Something is not right with ATC right now.

Didn't find any mentions in my search for #EAA #AirVenture #Oshkosh 2025 happening now. No #avgeeks on the fediverse?
@JohnOCFII @reallyjim I have given up. Not going this year, but I always like to play along.
I will try and watch ADS-B for the FISK arrival and also listen via liveatc.net, that is always fun when the field is near saturation. I visited FISK one year when they had an incident on the field that closed the airport, and wow, did those controllers earn their Spotted Cows.
And yes, we brought donuts, the required price of admission.
Und hier noch ein kleines Video.
Sodele, heute gab es einen kurzen Ausflug nach #Locarno - es ist ein so toller Flugplatz
My colleague caught a flyby of the #RCAF's C-17 Globemaster this afternoon in #ilesdelamadeleine. I found it heading back to #Trenton. If you saw/heard a chonker plane overhead out east, this was likely it.
Avelo Airlines is reducing their west coast lines to ONE airplane based at KBUR, and pulling out of #Eugene Airport Dec. 1, 2025.
Not a surprise.
They are going to focus on their East Coast routes.
I love how #Reddit & #Instagram is full of pilots demonstrating the #fuelcutoffswitches in their #Boeings.

Of the 53(ish) comics I read every morning (instead of crazy Internet news) on gocomics.com, one always has an aviation angle.
Today, "Fat Cats" delivers. I can't resist a strip that mentions a super-classy bizjet.
