Instead of scrolling through 5 second videos on this first day of the new year, enjoy one of my favourite clips from the Earth to the Moon. This is from Episode 5 about the LM. Challenge every requirement, simplify and delete until it hurts, rapid prototype and test, iterate.

@scottiebateman Retrofit kit option for A models? Extended storage volume option into the tail boom?

Blackhawk News is not what I was expecting!! It’s a new uncrewed variant with no cockpit and a cargo door. It looks awesome and will certainly have utility on the modern battlefield. But would you get in it if the pilot didn’t have ‘skin in the game’? The scenario I immediately thought of was the Chernobyl disaster where crews exposed themselves to douse the fire… with this, no need to put the crew anywhere where near that type of danger‼️ thoughts ?

Flying out of WMKK-OOMS today as OMD181 with @Gargamle2 #NomadicLife

Finally some signs of life in the industry after a relatively SLOW year so far. 6 planes to move in the next week or so and OMD crews are on the move! ATR-72, B757, A330, A321, and 2 A320s!

OMD168, an A330, now in Cairo getting gas! Departing to Guangzhou, China in a few hours. Tried to upload some vids from Chateauroux before departure, but data upload was too slow. Let’s see if these upload…

@troyb55 @vaqarkhan @Nomadic_OMD Thank you

Eat your heart out Sully…. We got Nathan Fielder! #MiracleOvertheMojave

Reality is cruel. Instead of soaring, they’re grounded. No job. No prospects. Hundreds of Filipino pilots, perhaps even more, are trapped in this limbo, their dreams mocked by a system that churns out talent but offers no runway for takeoff. READ: insiderph.com/insider-insigh…

@InfantryPilot Dude! Go back and ask about the sauce!

The Pat @pm_roa and Wes show hits the road again! We are headed to #NKG to move an Airbus to Europe tomorrow as #OMD122. @Nomadic_OMD #Nomadiclife #Nomadic

This bird is so old, it’s got the Thrust Bumps on the levers. A flying relic @flightradar24 “ADS-B ADS-B on my phone, is this the oldest of them all?”

@simple_flying The C919’s objective is to gain EASA certification & it is a compliant design. All the noise against it is political & not technical, a lot of western engineers worked alongside Chinese during its development. I believe COMACs challenge is building an assembly line to meet demand

Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary isn't ruling out China's C919... but only if the price is right. With Boeing's delays and the C919 gaining momentum, could we see a shift in Europe's low-cost skies? COMAC’s up-and-coming narrowbody jet might just rival the 737 and A320, especially if it fits Ryanair's famously cost-focused model. O'Leary's latest comments add fuel to the debate on the future of budget aviation and global aircraft manufacturing dominance. Is the C919 about to shake the duopoly? 🇨🇳🇺🇸✈️ Find out what this could mean for passengers, pricing, and the industry👇 @Ryanair simpleflying.com/ryanair-consid…
