Navion had a small, minor mishap on the runway today. Whoops. ๐
Landing gear is important. Especially when landing.

An elevated runway edge light with an alignment tool set on top. It is used to make sure the lights are properly calibrated.
Side view. The V shape on the left of the tool is a mirror. You look down and align the light with the next light. Each light gets adjusted and cleaned.
Looking into the mirror the sight aligns with the next light.
This is how runway lights are checked and calibrated. See alt text for details.
You may not realize the work it takes to keep an airport operating safely.

How do you tow a Super Guppy? Very carefully. #avgeek #aviation #airplane #airportops #osh23

Refueling a 737-800.
Refueling a 737-800. An Airbus 220 in the distance.
220 holding short before take off while a 737 taxis behind.
737 taking off. Jet wash kicking up dust behind the aircraft.
Diversions are usually gas and go. We appreciate the landing fees and fuel flowage.
The Airbus was being flown by Tex and Chris. Nice guys. Cat 2 aircraft though which meant they couldn't land. Didn't have a chance to speak with the other two crews.

Nothing quite like Ground radioing for an Ops person to respond to an aircraft fire. AARF was there just a few moments after I got there. We just about had it out by then.
This aircraft was parked and awaiting maintenance for a couple days. 4 hours after this photo it was on fire.
As if three diversions in 15 minutes wasn't enough, we had a GA aircraft being towed catch fire at the exact same time.
Busy day. Just airport operations things.

When the A350 in my previous two posts taxied out to 10R for departure, we moved to a location off the end of the runway to watch them go. Love this view of them coming right at us! #avgeek #aviation #airplane #airportops #Airbus

A white operations vehicle is parked on a taxiway. Two people are standing next to it. An A350 is landing on the runway right in front of them.

Picture of the side mirror of a truck. In the mirror is a regional airplane. The sun is rising yellow in the background with darker clouds above.
Warning: objects in mirror are closer than they appear. ๐
(I still canโt believe they let me do stuff like this. So much fun!)

An American Airlines airplane sits on the ramp at PHL with the ATC tower in the background.
Friendly reminder to anyone in the US who will be traveling through an airport this week: Itโs going to be busy. There will be delays. Please extend some grace to those who are working hard to get you safely to your destination. #airline #airportops #ATC #security #avgeek #aviation #holiday

An American Airlines airplane is parked on the deice pad. Thereโs a deice truck with someone in the bucket spraying fluid on the tail.
I bet thereโs a lot of this going on today. #avgeek #aviation #airplane #airport #airportops

I thought I read somewhere that the Airbus Heron project was delivering recent results related to #TBO. The only thing I can find is this, though : www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/... Anyone else hear about results? Maybe I should check SESAR for info? #airportops #aviation #sustainability
