@BigJetTVLIVE Hi Jerry - get well quickly because the aviation community needs to back fit and firing on all cylinders - even during the dark days of Covid you kept us all upbeat - found this clip from your quizzes - hopefully it cheers you up - easy son!!!

By this time on a Sunday I’m not long from leaving base to head for the filming destination. Full of anticipation and excitement, hopeful that it’ll all work-out knowing there’s a thousand of our family as eager as I am for their weekly dose of friendly interaction. I look forward so much to the first Jet to feature - is that a Quad Jet can see lining-up 👀 on finals? ‘Ok GP LET’S GO, mics good? Everything else popping? Here we go! I’ll go with PTC To you my amazing family, like walking through the front door and being met with that warm greeting, I just love that moment! And the conversation that follows, the tsunami of knowledge, the updates, your’ presence is what powers me, on a day of the week that’s ’ become part of our natural psyche Right now as I write this I feel a sincere level of desperation. I know light is visible to the end, but it’s the not knowing or having any information I can feed-back to you. I know people are saying’ be patient ‘n all, but I’m human and I long for that feeling of normality once again. I’m not gonna be signing-up to any marathons here, just back on a well managed regime to be back in the seat and for us to all be back together again. I cannot express my sincere overwhelming gratitude towards everybody who’s shown their support. Gilly has shown me all your comments! Thanks so much your messages and your continuous support so it’s getting late and I’m just laying here scrolling the library and found this classic. Did we ever determine if this was a tail-wind landing🤔🤔 Jerry

@JackoRugby I wonder if Gareth Edwards is relieved or sad that after 53 years of holding onto the title of greatest try ever scored, that he has finally handed over the mantle to Rhys Carre?

A few facts to show why there is nothing to beat the Six Nations. Wales who lost to England, who lost to Ireland, who lost to France, who lost to Scotland, who lost to Italy who might yet lose to Wales.

@thepaulwilliams 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it they said Welsh rugby folk are a different breed though.For them it takes 15 consec 6N defeats for them to lose interest but just one side step and warp like acceleration by a 20 stone prop to fill the Principality agsin

Chuffed for that Welsh squad. Feels like they've turned a big corner.

@thepaulwilliams Alex Mann apparently made 238 tackles 😂. In all seriousness, he needs to be recognised as a top international standard player

Turn around of this Welsh squad in 2 rounds has been incredible.

@Fahadnaimb Original footage was posted onto our YouTube channel and has obviously found its way onto other platforms. Only issue is that it’s previously been used to falsely claim the aircraft were returning from a combat mission whereas the reality is that it’s footage from an Airshow

@cautiousstoat If you are 100% certain it's yours, then I can credit you. I got this video from Telegram.

Somalia negotiating a $900m deal for 24 JF-17 fighter jets from Pakistan, only months after Israel recognised Somaliland. First proper air force rebuild since the 90s. In a messy neighbourhood with Al-Shabaab and breakaway regions, having your own jets makes sense… but $900m is a lot when people are hungry..

@Sonjamclaughlan Might be biased but nothing beats Cardiff on 6N day for all round sporting experience - the city, the atmosphere, probably the best rugby stadium experience in the world and compelling competition and drama. Promotion/relegation based on poor run by the national team? No thanks!

@andyhowellsport @FranceRugby @SixNationsRugby This is an absolute masterclass in presentation skills - she is one of the best in the business - to go to the effort of asking in his native tongue and then to translate for the audience is fantastic to watch

Magnifique! @FranceRugby Jalibert seemed to be pleased, perhaps slightly surprised, to being interviewed in his native language in Cardiff & Lauren may have got extra insight from him. Lovely to see a Welsh & UK broadcaster making the effort @SixNationsRugby

@RAF_Luton Fred went onto design the Airbus A146 - his early design of using the F-15 nose was eventually dropped on health and safety grounds

Fact of the Day: The F15's name comes from the angle of the wings leading edge being at 15° from the body. The F is in honour of Fred Boeing, the airplanes designer, who went on to found Airbus Research Systems Enterprises, now known simply as Airbus Photographed from a Canberra

@Turbinetraveler Not quite !!!

THE END OF THE TRI-JET ERA IS OFFICIALLY HERE UPS has confirmed it fully retired its McDonnell Douglas MD-11 freighter fleet in Q4 2025, accelerating the end for one of cargo aviation’s most iconic aircraft. In its Q4 2025 earnings release, UPS disclosed it fast-tracked fleet modernization, completing the MD-11 withdrawal earlier than planned. The decision followed last year’s fatal MD-11 crash in Louisville, the final catalyst for grounding the remaining aircraft. The move cost: • $137 million non-cash after-tax write-off for the MD-11 fleet • $101 million in additional transformation charges • $238 million total impact on GAAP results This occurred despite strong performance: $24.5B in Q4 revenue $2.6B operating profit Once the backbone of long-haul cargo operations, the three-engine MD-11 is now history at UPS—a clear signal that the trijet era is fading fast, with efficiency, safety, and modernization taking priority. End of an era.

@TorontoPearson We successfully departed to Heathrow at 10pm (Virgin) last night after the biggest one day accumulation of snow in airport’s history but you guys absolutely smashed it -thank you to all the airport staff, snow clearing guys and the heroic effort from the de-icing teams - awesome

Crews are continuing to move piles of snow off the apron. Here's a look at what 10 minutes looks like on the apron of Terminal 1.

@thepaulwilliams @MagpieScarlet So similar to Liam at the same stage.. that swagger when he dived over in the 82nd was pure sanjay

@MagpieScarlet And good at contestables

Ellis Mee has gone up another level again this season , he has the speed , the strength to be an International player for years to come .

@faisalislam The Thick of It - bit far fetched 2026 politics “hold my beer”🍺

Incredible… the story is actually not a parody. just had confirmed live on BBC Breakfast, from here in Davos, that yes, President Trump sent THAT note to the Norwegian PM saying that because they hadn’t given the Nobel Peace Prize, he could now justify owning Greenland.

@MenInBlazers Plenty of managers are given millions even billions, but no-one has achieved as much as Phil. People sneer at Wrexham but to achieve non-league - league 2 - league 1 - championship - to Prem League would be one of the greatest sporting achievements in history

Wrexham have won four straight games, the latest victory courtesy of a Matty James screamer 🔥 The Red Dragons, playing off the back of an unprecedented three straight promotions, are now just a point off the playoffs 🐲

@RobRyanRed Plenty of managers are given millions even billions, but no-one has achieved as much as Phil. People sneer at Wrexham but to achieve non-league - league 2 - league 1 - championship - to Prem League would be one of the greatest sporting achievements in history

📊 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒊𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔 📈 Wrexham are now just one point from the play-offs after the win away at Derby 👀 Hitting form at the right time 💪 #WxmAFC

@Wrexham_AFC Plenty of managers are given millions even billions, but no-one has achieved as much as Phil. People sneer at Wrexham but to achieve non-league - league 2 - league 1 - championship - to Prem League would be one of the greatest sporting achievements in history

Four games Four wins Twelve points Eleven goals What a festive period 🤩 🔴⚪️ #WxmAFC

@philsteele1 Gary was a member of one of the great Welsh back row units at that time at Llanelli with Mark Perego and Phil Davies. What a player he was during a golden era at Stradey

Nice article this - on Gary “Boomer” Jones. #LoveClubRugby

@edjenx The issue was that the kick to touch from that penalty went as far as Bristol’s 10 yard line. A ten yard gain - why was Costelow taken off at that stage??

That pen on 73 minutes, half way line, dead middle. 3 points to win it. Any pro player who place kicks has to, at least, have the range & confidence to have a pop at that. I don't know if Macleod called it, or if Hawkins bottled it. Either way, that was the game. #SCAvBRI
