The price of an airline ticket has actually plummeted, while safety/modernization of aircraft has significantly increased.
It's the cost of a bus ticket now, without the highway deaths. #statistics #facts
First... and only comment.
Are they flying to the Ponderosa, with Little Joe riding along?
I was fully qualified as pilot and fight engineer - requiring separate FAA certificates.
This aircraft is still flying.
The gages were for all of the aircraft systems - which were manually run and monitored... such as generators, hydraulics, pressurization, fuel, etc.
...when a 747 flies into the EAA Oshkosh Airshow and you get to take your seat from 1990.
35 years later - same aircraft. 💙
For a deep dive into the personal life of an airline pilot - here you go. 🙂

She's a beauty!
I’m not so sure about that. He is against gender equality in any respect.
In my occupation, gray hair brings women more respect and credibility.
Being young brings instant misconceptions.
When a passenger sits on the armrest...
This is not an AA interior or aircraft - regionals are separate companies.
This is Speed Tape, an FAA approved pressure sensitive tape for temporary repairs - it costs $16,700/pack. This temporary patch kept your flight on time and safe.
You're welcome.
It’s also publishers, editors and illustrators who didn’t do what they were paid to do. Lots of misses here.
When a tour group from Italy doesn't believe their interpreter telling them I'm Italian... and you have to call your dad and put him on speakerphone to convince them. #proudItalian #SmithsonianAirandSpaceMuseum

Elephant crossing. I’ll wait. #Africa
and windy... yes let's make it really windy.
When you’re just waiting to be carjacked in Washington DC - red light after red light.. and you’re the only car on the road.
What does that mean?
...or a cape.
The Jeju pilots got their aircraft down minutes after declaring Mayday. They put it down hot, right on the centerline - then an uncharted solid barrier disintegrated them in the overrun.
Let's wait and see what crisis/failures they were dealing with before crucifying them. RIP 💔
These will be the ‘good old days’ for this generation - just like the Vietnam war era was for mine.
Here kitty, kitty, kitty.
It worked!
Classic! 😅
That should cover the bases! 😅
As a true Jersey girl, I’m honing my identification skills.
When you get to party with astronaut Frank Culbertson, the only American not on the planet on 9/11.
9/11 is our past in this great country… and always the present. The unity we all felt is the most significant part the history.

Alyssa, excellent video. Outstanding analysis of an emergency landing and the thought process… in the moment. Very glad you did everything right and you’re here to pass your experience forward.
Indeed. Takes a lot of people working together.
They also blame their every personal failure on DEI.
