Excuse the shitty photo, but I don’t have my DSLR with me.
Fighter jets absolutely tearing the air apart over the Welsh mountains. Loud isn’t the word.
Not Eurofighter Typhoons - not sure what they are.
Transponders off - nothing on FlightRadar.

Is this the future of urban transit, or are we just overcomplicating the sky? I’d love to hear from the #AviationSky and #FutureTech folks. 🦋

Carole Lombard #BOTD
died in a plane crash in 1942, due to pilot error.
Little known fact: the pilot who was originally scheduled to fly her, crashed into a New Hampshire mountain in a B-18 bomber during a severe blizzard two days earlier. (Two died, he survived.)

Your moment of aviation zen: there’s nothing more pleasing than to see this view after breaking out of the cloud tops. This is why I fly. Why do you fly? #aviationsky #pilot #avgeek
Flights to Reagan National Airport received false collision alerts while landing
Not an aviation expert, but could someone be spoofing a Mode Sierra transponder signal to trigger these collision alerts? cc @jeffwise.bsky.social

#AviationSky I have a bucket list item I am asking for help with. I'm looking for someone in NorCal or Southern Oregon with a Taylorcraft willing to take me up for a flight.
I recently found two of my favorite aircraft models! I’ve had these since before I can remember.

Just 2 weeks ago, we were plane-spotting at the coolest “airport beach” around! ✈️ 🇸🇽 ❤️ #mahobeach #aviationsky #TravelAddicts #SintMaarten
three white general aviation aircraft sit facing away from the camera on an empty ramp, slightly obscured by heavy dog. the left and right aircraft are cessna C172s, and the middle one is a v-tail beechcraft bonanza.
good morning sleeping beauties!!

If you have any interest at all in aviation related stuff, you should follow Colleen Mondor. Always really interesting. (And I don’t know anything about aviation!) 🧪✈️ #aviationsky
A squall line of thunderstorms can be seen from an airplane’s point of view from above. The clouds appear to be a row of supercells one after another, puffy and white like smoke from a chimney top. It looks like a row of marshmallow Peeps high in the sky
Late Night #wxsky and #aviationsky crossover!
Ever wondered what a squall line looks like from 35,000 feet up? Hard to believe these puffy patterned tops are withholding some of the nastiest thunderstorms seen on Earth.
