A new era for Finnair's fleet. The airline has selected the Embraer E195-E2, ordering up to 46 aircraft to support its profitable growth and sustainability goals. Welcome, Finnair, to the E2 family.

Still one of the most extraordinary experiences I’ve ever had. I found a beached dolphin at 5:30 in the morning while I was alone on a beach in Costa Rica. It was surrounded by about six buzzards, ready to peck at its eyes, and it was squeaking and crying for help. For anyone who wants to call me weak or whatever, I’d love to see you move a slippery 275-pound animal while panicking for its life. A crazy, extraordinary, life-changing experience. This dolphin was communicating with me the entire time. I’m not sure how to explain it, but I knew it was grateful for my presence and grateful that I saved it from the buzzards. An insane, real-life experience I’ll never forget. 🐬 🙏 📹danielbarousse

A touching moment as the reindeer realizes that his friend patiently waited by his side until he was rescued ❤️✨

Aww it's a baby and they gave him to his mother... Sometimes a small act of kindness can change an entire life 💖🤗

@BigJetTVLIVE Good luck 🧡

Hey everyone 👋🏻 so we’re on a long drive down to Exeter to see an eye specialist. He/they come highly recommended so I’m hoping we’ll get this issue sorted and I’ll be back to 20/20 vision 👀 to get back to filming our passion. 🛫✈️ Worse case I’ll be aiming at a Sunday Show 🙏🏻 I’ll update, hope everyone is well. Jerry

@BigJetTVLIVE Such good news at last - best wishes to you both 🧡🙂🧡

We’re happy to be able to let you know that Jerry is home. He was discharged from hospital on Friday evening. One of the first things he did on Saturday was to check the equipment, he wanted to do a stream yesterday but thankfully realised it was far too soon! We did a little drive around @HeathrowAirport with our members and it was wonderful to see Jerry slip right back into avgeek mode, even if it was only for a short ‘road-trip’! We want to thank you all for your incredible support the past few weeks, it’s very hard to put into words how much it means to us both. It’s been so valuable as we navigated the devastating complications he suffered following his heart surgery. Thank you just doesn’t seem enough ❤️🙌 We’d also like to thank the cardiac and neurology teams at St George’s @geshNHS and the stroke team at St Peter’s @ASPHFT for taking good care of our Jerry ❤️ Now we focus on his recovery so he can get back out there sharing our love of aviation with you all. “Slowly, slowly catchy cruiser” ✈️ Gilly & Jerry

War is a dirty business. I’ve seen enough of it, up close and from altitude, to know that however it begins, it rarely ends cleanly. Tactically, you can win. Strategically, you might prevail. But morally and humanly, everyone loses something. As tensions will undoubtedly escalate again today, it’s worth remembering that conflict in this region is layered with history. The 1953 coup. The 1979 revolution. The Iran–Iraq War that consumed a generation in the 1980s. Sanctions, proxy conflicts, nuclear negotiations. Each chapter has left scars, mostly on civilians. None of that excuses repression. None of it softens the reality that authoritarian regimes can and do persecute their own people. There must be a force for good in the world, a willingness to confront extremism, to stand against oppression, to protect the vulnerable. But here’s the uncomfortable truth… war is a blunt instrument for delicate problems. It destroys infrastructure faster than it builds institutions. It hardens positions rather than softening them. It radicalises where it intended to stabilise. And while governments make decisions, thousands of miles away, ordinary families absorb the consequences. I’ve learned that conflict is rarely as binary as headlines suggest. It’s easy to choose sides from a distance. Harder when you’ve seen the aftermath, the complexity, the grief, the unintended second- and third-order effects. You can believe two things at once…that persecution must be stopped. And that war is often, as has been proven, an awful way to try. History teaches us that sustainable change usually comes from pressure, diplomacy, internal reform, and long-term engagement, not simply from force alone. Strength matters. But so does wisdom. Patience was obviously lost in this case. But I hope leaders have the wisdom to have a plan beyond today, something that ensures, but my own wisdom thinks that’s unlikely. The older I get, the less appetite I have for simplistic narratives about “good wars.” There may be necessary actions. There may be moments where force is unavoidable. But celebration is rarely appropriate. War is never tidy. And peace, when it comes, is always more complicated than anyone predicted. We owe our support to those who are serving now, on this frontline, to support their bravery but also to those who woke this morning to a very different reality across all of the Gulf states. Change was needed, everyone agrees on that, but I’m not sure if things just got better, or worse. Only time will tell. #Iran #GulfWar

Did you know Concorde expanded in flight by about 6–10 inches? At Mach 2, aerodynamic heating caused the fuselage to lengthen. The aircraft grew longer, but the flight engineer’s console—bolted at the front—did not. This created a noticeable gap at the rear bulkhead. After retirement, crews turned it into a tradition: the flight engineer would place his hat in the gap. Once the aircraft cooled and the gap closed, the hat was permanently trapped.
