Only one airplane had the power to pull the crew away from the B 58 and that was the SR 71 Few aircraft captured the daring spirit of Cold War engineering like the Convair B-58 Hustler. Built for speed, nuclear deterrence, and high-altitude dominance, the bomber combined beauty with terrifying performance in a way almost no aircraft ever achieved. To many aviation enthusiasts, the B-58 remains one of the most elegant and revolutionary jet designs of the entire twentieth century.😍😍😎🫡  from airplane tech

A Miami-Dade Fire Rescue AW139 helicopter made a gear-up landing while airlifting victims after a boat explosion near Haulover Sandbar in Florida on May 10, 2026. The incident injured multiple people and triggered a mass casualty response requiring emergency airlift during the rescue operation. 📹: PulseTV001

@tubingtyler1 Why didn’t he land with traffic instead of head on? And by land I don’t mean crash onto the highway like he did.

Just saw that Charlotte’s Chariot ii, a P-51D owned by Dan Fordice was involved in a fatal accident today in Tallulah, Louisiana. Looking at some of these V-Speeds on ADSB is rather eye raising.

@sydor_greg How important good mechanics are, they are actually the ones to determine what is airworthy

Selling your jet? You typically need to deliver it to the Buyer in airworthy condition. A good broker/attorney will define exactly what "airworthy" means so you're not stuck replacing a $20,000 DVD player because “all cabin systems must function properly.” And yes, that happens all the time. A few things to keep in mind… ➡️ Buyer pays to inspect. Inspection costs range from $25K to $175K depending on how rigorous. Seller pays to fix (only the airworthy findings. Not the cosmetic stuff) ➡️ Buyers want to inspect every problem area for that specific model, serial number, and vintage (flaps, under the lavatory/wet areas, thrust reversers, etc). Sellers want to limit their exposure. ➡️ Buyer paying a premium for the jet? They get to look more. Under panels. Maybe even a Test Flight. Coming in low? Visual only. No joy rides. As a Seller, you'll need to pay for the repairs that are found during the inspection. Here's how much to budget (assuming a well kept jet and a savvy broker) 🛩️ Near New (1-5 years old): $25-$50K 🛩️ Mid Age (5-15 years old): $50-$175K 🛩️ Legacy (15+ years old): $175K+ What’d I miss?

Drop kids at school, go to dog park, run pups ragged. Head to country club, pickup new irons, hit balls. Lunch & beer in clubhouse. June schedule bid is A+. Get kids, run around, use new gadget to make pasta from scratch. Sip bourbon. Battlestar Galactica w/son. PERFECT day.

My husband just got the airport in Salt Lake. Apparently there is a noticeable uptick in masks. Even one woman was wearing gloves. I’m telling you right now, I literally cannot do two pandemics in a single decade.

On the Route 66 Oatman highway heading west towards Oatman AZ from Kingman AZ. Footage from a few weeks ago that I never posted. Tip: Westbound is always on the outer edge. Eastbound is always on the inside.

@aspen_lindsay Lot of people don’t understand petroleum economics, or Trumps thinking, but make rash opinions on a fraction of the big picture that affects them significantly. I’ve seen very few people actually understand the full picture

You cannot be serious? I’m so sick of arrogant assholes telling Americans to suck up rising cost of living. Yea what’s an extra $200 more in fuel alone that doesn’t cover the cost of food and everything else. Low IQ: “just 2 weeks. Just a month. Just 8 weeks…” tired of everyone whining- I’ll get all my followers to put their Venmo here for you to pay up since it’s no biggie. You are going to cost us the election.
Mike I@IeMike54

@aspen_lindsay Truckers just pass it on to their trip costs. 🤷‍♂️Tired of everyone whining about. What? $30-40 a week more than you were paying before. What? 8 weeks. Suck it up and do whatever it takes to pay the bills. So maybe this lasts another 8 weeks. An extra $600 over 4 months🤷‍♂️Seriously

@BeeAwake1 @Ilegvm Fake. The military does not share airspace with civilian aircraft. Commercial, maybe (escort duty). But an SR-71 and a Delta airliner will NEVER be anywhere near each other.
