That is NASA’s 10th crewed translunar injection burn since 1968. TLI is the quintessential American maneuver.

Artemis II has been cleared by Mission Control for the translunar injection burn.

Making a hole for #ArtemisII last night. Some flights over Florida were able to get a fantastic view of the launch.

D.C.-area ATC evacuations followed 2025 smoke event which injured controllers Previously unreported smoke event left multiple air traffic controllers with health issues that resulted in the loss of their medical certificates

SCOOP: A year before the two recent evacuations of D.C.'s ATC center, a previously unreported incident caused smoke to enter the control room but did not result in an evacuation. Controllers lost their medical certificates.

Our coverage from last week on this approaching milestone for global aviation: The Middle East jet fuel air gap is about to reach the tap theaircurrent.com/geopolitics/... (via @theaircurrent.com)

On March 29, 1991, a 757, powered by only one of its engines, took off, circled, and landed at the 11,621-foot-high Gongga Airport in Tibet. The airplane performed perfectly even though the airfield was in a box canyon surrounded by peaks more than 16,400 feet high.

The Boeing 757 would like to remind you that it is better and cooler than anything else flying.

Finish the loop, you cowards.

The Middle East jet fuel air gap is about to reach the tap With the last jet fuel tanker to transit the Strait of Hormuz yet to reach its destination, the air gap in global supply is about to reach the tap.

Half of Europe's jet fuel comes from the Middle East and the last shipment out of the Gulf before the war is set to arrive around April 9. And Australia imports 85% of its jet fuel from Asia, also hit hard by supply shocks.

What happens when the jet fuel gap hits the tap?

The Rong Lin Wan is the most important ship on the seas...in all of global aviation.

Even before this energy crisis brought on by the war with Iran, @iata.org warned in November that Europe in particular was staring down “waning jet fuel supply reliability.” theaircurrent.com/geopolitics/...

Forget decarbonization, carbonizing aviation starting in the second half of April is going to be hard enough.

It’s called Relaxed Row. Coming to all 787s and some 777s. On 200 aircraft by 2030.

Well, it looks like United is bringing the famous Air New Zealand sky couch to economy long haul.

That is correct.
