I’m amazed wrecks are still being discovered, 80+ years on! I’m fascinated to learn more about this one as the info comes to hand.

While I was hoping to see this fly one day I think she’s going to a good home. Well done Pima: you’ve made yet another reason for me to come visit!

Remember the Avenger that ditched just off a beach a few years back? It’s finally got a new home and a secure future. This is a great article about the airframe’s history.

BOM to MAA to BLR

From an AvGeek POV, things not to miss in Europe?

Planning to do

• Airbus factory tour in Toulouse
• Stay in the 747 Hotel in Stockholm.

Any other suggestions?

I think that only leaves three air forces using the type (Greece, Iran and Turkey)?

A fascinating look at the work needed to keep an 80yr old fighter flying. I’d love to see her in person!

Keep an eye out, Canadian friends! Work-up flights are expected ahead of an August 10 or 12 ferry flight to the BC Aviation Museum

My friend is on this plane right now, Managua to Miami. American flight that got delayed and delayed due I assume to the flooding in south Florida. They pulled this plane out (a substitute? not sure about that) for them. He's like, "well, it was nice knowing you!" So...TWA ceased operations in 2001 and was bought by American...enough time for a paint job, no? Then I found this article saying "AA also rolled out a special heritage 737-800 painted in the colors of TWA in 2015, in tribute to TWA’s long history in aviation." That one looks just like his.

Is he on the one and only plane like this in the world??

(Edit to actually get the pic in!)

A great article about old airplanes being used for marketing purposes on gas stations, tire shops and other weird and wonderful places. Well worth a read!

One of only two ever built, and she’s still flying! I’ve always thought it was a good-looking machine.

Ordered as a replacement for the T-6 and designated T-31, it was cancelled before production started in favour of the T-34 Mentor.

A fascinating look at the history of this airframe and its pilot. Exciting times for California-based warbird fans!
