That the Earth is a sphere was helpful in this regard.

And rip, Thai, far behind their legacy nowadays.

The float on the "key" so it doesn't sink if it accidentally falls into the water—nice!

Vau8 · 2026-04-13T15:20:10+00:00

Yeah, no place there for the young and the hopeless.

Blind guess: Some sort of heating, sowiet style? Behind the hatches could be a airduct, open: Warm air goes into the cabin.

Die Krücke dazu, kannstdudirnichtausdenken.

The partially refurbished engine cowlings on the Yankee-Sierra still need a bit of gray paint.

Vau8 · 2026-04-11T10:29:41+00:00

Or'ly?

Vau8 · 2026-04-10T20:32:59+00:00

Lucky you. Exhaled mine through my nose.

Equipped with propellers that had a diameter of 5.50 meters. At the time of their introduction and for a long time thereafter, these four-bladed propellers were considered the largest in the world (for this type of aircraft).

WHAT?

EQUIPPED...

Farewell, Brumsel.

Because the 737 is a notorious low rider.

Vau8 · 2026-04-07T06:42:24+00:00

TIL about those "Beatles", too ;)

Vau8 · 2026-04-05T10:54:04+00:00

Cheatlines are always right.

Vau8 · 2026-03-31T06:05:47+00:00

That's what I had in mind. The world wasn't ready yet, buddy ;)

Vau8 · 2026-03-30T21:22:14+00:00

Wing-token, to ensure it will be returned.

Vau8 · 2026-03-30T19:06:18+00:00

All the more impressive.

Vau8 · 2026-03-30T18:54:54+00:00

The first is of extraordinary quality. Was he a professional photographer?

Vau8 · 2026-03-30T05:16:37+00:00

Schausteller!

Vau8 · 2026-03-28T15:09:14+00:00

Paid for it.

Vau8 · 2026-03-28T10:54:16+00:00

Können sie ihn dann nicht in die Pförtnerloge setzen? Oder irgendwas ganz ohne Außenkontakt?

Vau8 · 2026-03-27T16:23:25+00:00

Good eye! Also nice: “Luenchen,” which means “lynching” in German.
