The final flight of this decade for me was on L23 glider aircraft. What an surreal experience to fly over the city which is not connected by civil aviation yet.Thanks to @VisitJharkhand joy ride @MoCA_GoI @tourismgoi @prahladspatel @pspoffice @DCDumka @khabri_lal @UtkarshThakkar

@a_flyguy Winds are favourable, she will get through on 308

Mum's turn now to pray to the NonRev Gods. She's listed for the Air India B788 Melbourne-Delhi, which is payload restricted as well despite seat availability. Luckily I have a backup Revenue option lined up for her on the same flight thanks to points 😁

Some fancy call signs, @airindia @AirIndia_News 😀💯 #Avgeek #Aviation

Update...

Effective today, we enter into @IATA's Northern Summer season. Hands down it's one of the most challenging season cutovers for the airline industry across the world, full of uncertainty and surprises. If you are flying, please be patient with the frontliners. Happy Landings!

Oh damn. Kudos to their production and creative team 👏

@a_flyguy Heavy Head winds + high performance factor on these old birds make the route payload heavy

Thought the Non-Rev gods loved me when I saw the seat availability on a Qantas A333 NRT-MEL. Buttt...the aircraft is heavily payload restricted (not a 330 driver, but puzzling for me given the 10hr20min flight time though cargo is quite full too), so last avail seat as usual!

@AirIndia_News @IndiainItaly @AeroportidiRoma Congratulations @yes_it_is_rahul, good to see you!

We touched down in Rome yesterday after six years, launching our 4x weekly non-stop services to the Italian capital from Delhi ✈️ The inaugural flight received a warm welcome at Rome Fiumicino airport, with dignitaries from @IndiainItaly and @AeroportidiRoma joining us to celebrate the occasion. 📸 Photos from the inaugural ceremony.

Flew around the world by doing trans-pacific and trans-atlantic on SFO run. What a timeless machine 🫡

One of the rare known images of Frank Abagnale Jr. — the legendary con man, scam artist, and master forger. Pictured in the pilot’s seat of a Pan American World Airways airliner, he managed to fly over 1,000,000 miles in full uniform, travelling for free on more than 250 flights to 25 countries … He was never their employee. He was never a pilot. Let that sink in.

And all power to them! Air India was one of the world's finest airlines as long as JRD was running it, right up to 1977 when he was dismissed by Morarji Desai. While it was nationalized in the 1950s, the glory days were the late 50s thru the 70s, as the govt had JRD run it.

@BOMgirltweets @RonitBaugh Likewise A, hope to see you again for more aviation conversation and shopping at the ✈️ candy store :)

Lovely meeting you both @RonitBaugh and @rishavr9.

@AviationAll_ @KadamAnshul Definately Not!
