Last week marked the first regular flight of an Embraer E-Freighter, the cargo version of the Embraer 190. Full story here: flightradar24.com/blog/aviation-…
Do you think the E-Freighter will be popular among cargo operators?
@mo_free_nig@sentdefender Also both the KC-135 and the KC-46 are modifications of civilian aircraft, which do not have ejection seats; whereas fighters and bombers are designed for their specific mission.
@mo_free_nig@sentdefender They used to have parachutes to allow the crew to manually bail out and oxygen bottles if you had to jump from high altitude, but those were removed in 2008 to save money.

Pruitt, 34, of Bardstown, Kentucky, who were all assigned to the 6th Air Refueling Wing out of MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, and killed in Thursday’s crash of a KC-135 Stratotanker in Western Iraq.
@More85488Andrew@yarogreb@willem_g@MedvedevRussiaE They would face retaliation from other nuclear powers, if a nuke is launched US would immediately launch one back because there is a deal on that, you cant just launch a nuke at any country without them and expect it would be ignored.
Kaja, the blonde rat, said she was working to ensure that 100s of thousands of former Russian servicemen would never enter Schengen. What a loss for our fighters. Well, they can enter it without visas if they want to. Like in 1812 or 1945. Happy Defender of the Fatherland Day!
@moret_phil4570@AZ_Intel_ Fuel is in the wings, the wings hitting the ground at that speed creates a lot of friction and heat which ignites the fuel in the wings.

@ThrillaRilla369 2 reasons.
1. The left is seen as super oldschool 80's and right is seen as new and modern
2. The resell value on the right is higher, since its not that difficult to change out the building logo's and replace it with something else
@rinalu_ Finland was attacked by the USSR, and defended itself and lost some territory.
It then joined the Nazi's to attack the USSR to get their lost territory back.
It then got beaten back and signed a new surrender joining the USSR against the Nazi's
Ah yes, Finland – the ‘neutral bystander’ of WWII. Just standing there, totally uninvolved, while Leningrad starved. Cute story. Too bad it’s pure fiction.
Reality check: Finnish troops sat on Leningrad’s doorstep for three years. Not sipping coffee, not staying “neutral”. They were holding one-third of the blockade line. Without Finland’s part, the Germans couldn’t have fully strangled the city. Together, they closed the ring that starved a 1.5 million people to death, inclidin 400,000 children.
And Mannerheim the “savior”? Please. His orders were to bomb the Road of Life (which was not really a road but a frozen lake), the only route bringing food across Lake Ladoga.
On June 25, 1941, Mannerheim ordered the Finnish Army to begin hostilities against the USSR:
“I call you to a holy war against the enemy of our nation. Together with the mighty armed forces of Germany, as brothers-in-arms, we resolutely set out on a crusade against the enemy to secure a reliable future for Finland.”
Finland dreamed of expansion and had concrete plans. On the ‘Greater Finland’ dream map, you’ll find Russian cities like Murmansk, Leningrad, and Kandalaksha marked as theirs👇
Let's unpack the common myths and educate our fellow Finns about their own history. 🧵
