Look away, Harrier fans… Caught this lineup of ex-RAF jets at AMARG in 2021. Not a graveyard—these were donor airframes keeping USMC AV-8Bs flying, one part at a time. By 2022, with the fleet winding down, they were hauled off and scrapped. June 2021 - Davis Monthan Air Force Base (Tucson, Arizona) #Aviation #AvGeek #DavisMonthanAFB #Harrier

@CaptBob_Nomadic @pilotedgeATC recently created a web interface that allows other users to trigger failures in the simulator. This has the added bonus of having human ATC alongside the aircraft whilst working the failure. Other failure systems work on the network too if ATC is all that is needed.

I am intrigued about home sims and want to incorporate an entire area of KittyHawk to it. My question to the sim community: Are there any sim programs that randomly create emergency or abnormal situations? Any that ask you limitations and immediate action items while you’re flying? Seems it would be a fun way to learn and stay current on various aircraft.

Introduction to E-7 Wedgetail Challenges 1/25 The UK E-7 Wedgetail programme, replacing the RAF’s E-3D Sentry, delivers advanced airborne early warning & control (AEW&C). It faces significant hurdles, from delays to budget cuts. This thread explores these challenges & who’s responsible for them.

Don’t worry if your A level results aren’t what you were hoping for. I got a C and two Us, and here I am, 46 years later, with my own pub. It opens next weekend if you fancy dropping in.

@WandrMe @teemaction I’ve seen new trains in the UK have to go back to Alstom (formerly Bombardier transportation) for modifications prior to entering service. Perhaps something similar?

@sentdefender Lakenheath only has F-35As and F-15Es. They’d only usually launch from RAF Fairford if they’re in the UK, which currently doesn’t have a bomber deployment.

Trip is starting with a slight annoyance; @Delta requested I be here 2 hours before my flight, I get here and discover the check in agents aren’t here until around 1:45 - 1:40 before my flight. Could have slept another 20 mins!
