74 Gear

@thepharmamedic @Turbinetraveler It’s first come first serve. If you had 4 engines, you’d do it too!

@Turbinetraveler It was @74gear, he heard there were snacks

When the Queen of the Skies decides to race… 🏁 This Boeing 747 was caught overtaking a private jet .

@greg16676935420 Seatbelts on planes are required for taxi, take-off, landing, anytime I’m flying and anytime the pilots at (an airline I won’t name) feel a tiny bump of “turbulence” and turn the fasten seatbelt sign on. Also you should have it on anytime you’re in your seat. So 99% of the time.

Why are seatbelt requirements so random? Cars: yes Buses: no Motorcycles: no Limos: no Motorhomes: no Golf carts: no Airplanes: sometimes

@CollinRugg He was trying to get me my snacks!!!

NEW: DoorDash food delivery driver somehow gets lost and ends up on the Chicago O'Hare International Airport tarmac. Um... The driver was somehow able to make it through secured areas and even *crossed runways*, according to CBS News. The individual reportedly drove for miles on the interior of the airport before being caught. Police say the individual was a 36-year-old man who "accidentally drove into an unauthorized secured area within O'Hare Airport." The man was not charged or cited.

@jamesenglish0 You work all night and have a weird schedule most people don’t understand and when you go to a party and people find out what you do they ask you questions all night??? I had no idea, I’m basically a stripper.

Most strippers turn lesbian because of men

@PIC_Colleen Don’t you worry about where we go with our blank bird…shhhhh… jk we’re really not doing anything that cool….

Sent in to me from a nearby freight ramp… a “while label” 747! She’s gotta have a N number hidden somewhere beneath her wing. Is it not uncommon for freight 747s to not have a livery painted? Maybe so she can go from company to company as needed?

@elonmusk Any chance I can borrow one of those Raptor engines? These 15 hour flights in a 747 are getting old!!

If you look closely, you can see a human walking around the base of the rocket. Each Raptor rocket engine produces twice as much thrust as all 4 engines on a 747. There are 33 Raptor engines powering the Starship rocket booster.

@space_jm_ @MatthewCappucci How are 2 engines MORE reliable than 4?

@74gear @MatthewCappucci The 4 engines argument is a bit dated nowadays that most 2-engined aircrafts are more reliable than 4 engines but yeah, do it for your grandkids

Aviation nerds – do I want to pay an extra $120 to fly a 747 to Europe? There are two flights I'm deciding between and I can't resist the urge to fly the Queen of the Skies at least once.

@greg16676935420 You’re not going to believe this when I tell you but… we keep all of our fuel in our fuel tanks….

This is a 60,000 gallon water tank A Boeing 747 holds 63,000 gallons of fuel Where do they keep it all??

@SmithOfDublin @libsoftiktok Unless the stolen items were all the staffer’s snacks, you can’t prove it was me.

@libsoftiktok We found him @74gear!

BREAKING: Trump campaign office in Ashburn, Virginia was broken into. Police are searching for this man who burglarized the campaign office. Anyone with information is asked to contact authorities at 571-918-1869

I just watched a guy sit in someone else’s first class seat KNOWING it wasn’t his seat. When the real passenger of that seat showed up the guy went to the back of the plane, where his seat was, with the most annoyed look on his face. I’m losing faith in people being honest!!

@HardFactorNews Pilots saying they’re raw dogging it on a long flight is usually something very different. But staring at a screen for hours is cool too.

Men are ‘raw dogging’ it on flights in newest trend

Happy International Cabin Crew Day. This is my aunt on graduation day becoming a FA in 1974. Eventually her airline would be part of @americanair If I were the CEO of AA I’d allow #cabincrew a month each summer they could wear throwback uniforms like this. First idea’s free Rob

Middle seat in economy is entitled to…

@AliZYousuf @PureMAGAMan @Boeing @Airbus Those “tanks” definitely couldn’t have something to help the flaps move. They also magically move just like my engines

@PureMAGAMan @74gear @Boeing @Airbus We all know jet fuel is stored in those pods under the wings. It’s why they’re big and tank shaped

We just need flight / cabin crew to work for free. Free jet fuel. A special deal from @Boeing / @airbus for those free planes and of course all the ground and office staff to work for free THEN we can get those adults on free too. Makes sense to me.

@PureMAGAMan @Boeing @Airbus You’re right!! I fly on PFM.

@74gear @Boeing @Airbus Jet fuel is a hoax. This is well established. There’s no way that there are fuel tanks in the wings of planes.

I just got into my Uber and we’re at a stop light. I feel like he’s obligated now to drift at least through one turn!

Out here crushing the 700 club in Econ and trying to not get sunburnt at the same time!!

Had a hot chocolate in the crew room in ANC. Now I’m eating a PBJ getting ready to fly on the last 747 ever made. 10 year old me is not hating life. ✈️
