In 1994, Aeroflot Flight 593 spiraled out of the sky after a 15-year-old accidentally disengaged the autopilot. The captain was his father. 75 people died — and aviation was never the same.

This color postcard shows an Air India Airbus A310-300, registered VT-EJL, taxiing on the runway at an airport bordered by lush green grass and a line of trees in the background. The aircraft displays Air India’s classic red and white livery with its signature palace window motif running along the fuselage and the bold AIR-INDIA titles across the cabin. The red tail fin bears the airline’s name in Hindi and English, a hallmark of Air India’s elegant branding of the late 20th century. The A310’s compact twin-engine design reflects the airline’s modernization during the 1980s and 1990s, when these jets were introduced for medium- to long-haul routes. The image captures both the grace and technological advancement of the national carrier, symbolizing India’s presence in international aviation.

ULS Cargo Airlines (Turkey) Airbus A310 Freighter TC-VEL departing Helsinki.

@alanisnking.bsky.social's post about Skycards reminded me that just two weeks ago, I saw an #AirbusA310 freighter in action for the first time. I've shot stored ones before, mostly ex-FedEx, but never one actually in operation. They're very rare now, and none fly in North America.
