Say no to AI slop

So the NYT can have an excuse not to write about authoritarianism

I’ve always wanted to try corn smut

You love to see it 🇺🇦

This beautiful F-15 currently resides at the Empire State Aerosciences Museum in Schenectady, NY.

The "Mirage III NG" was an attempt to modernise the old "Mirage III".
Based on an existing architecture to reduce development costs it was equipped with fly-by-wire controls derived from the Mirage 2000, and a fixed canard plan, a refuelling boom.
First flight in 1982.

Love what everyone involved with Artemis II was able to accomplish, however this is unfortunately an AI generated image.

I would encourage people to use the report function and report this as a fake image.

This is tasty 😋

A close up of the afterburners of F-15C 78-0547 from Kingsley Field Air National Guard Base in Klamath Falls, Oregon.

Do we like closeups? Because in 2022, this F-15C Eagle 78-0547 from Kingsley Field ANG Base in Klamath Falls, Oregon, gave one of the best closeups I've seen of the Eagle in full burners at Airshow London. If you were there, you know exactly what pass this was!

UH-60 Blackhawk practicing with a firefighting water bucket at a reservoir in western Massachusetts, 04/10/26. Lots of spray from their rotor wash necessitated drying the UV filter on my lens after every pass 😂 #uh60 #blackhawk #airplanes #aviation #avgeek

A thing of beauty 👌

I would be ready to choke someone.

I went to Derby Line VT for this, it was amazing. One aspect I didn’t know to expect was the appearance of a 360° sunset on the horizon during totality.

Interesting, this has been talked about for quite some time. It is a VERY contentious topic with the locals.

KORH is a modern and well appointed airport but only features very limited commercial service, and relies on state subsidies to stay in operation. #saab340 #sf34 #korh #airplanes #aviation #avgeek

So brave 😑

Can’t tell you how much I appreciate learning about all these fascinating and rare French designs thanks to your account!

The 1958 "Breguet 941" was a STOL transport aircraft with the particularity of having a wing entirely blown by the propellers and flaps that could be deployed to 95°, enabling it to land and land over very short distances.

Easter treasure hunt in Providence. This Sikorsky S-64F Skycrane (N600HX) is helping today install new HVAC equipment on top of Providence Place Mall.

Awesome! Glad someone caught it in action.

It’s definitely a lot of the latter. When I go on legacy social media now it is jarring how toxic it is, just the absolute worst people imaginable running amok spewing hatred and ignorance.

Good analogy

A yellow and black S64 Skycrane parked on a taxiway. There are few people milling about, and one standing on the tail boom.

Two de Havilland Vampires at RIAT 2018.

Great shots! That’s a good looking jet right there.

In town for the Artemis 2 launch no doubt

Forgot that you Ozzies were a day ahead of us in the states 😂
