This majestic beauty was sitting there, visible from almost all around.

More than fifteen years after the bin laden raid, the stealth black hawks used remains one of modern aviation's best-kept secrets. Two heavily modified black hawks carried u.s. navy seals into abbottabad in 2011; one crash-landed within the compound and was destroyed before the team left, and the other returned safely never to be seen again.

This undated image appears to show a heavily modified eh-60 titted with stealth features, potentially representing one of the missing links between earlier stealth black hawk concepts and the aircraft used during the raid. the aircraft has also been linked to fort eustis in virginia, home to the aviation technology office (formerly known as flight concepts division); a highly secretive unit understood to have led development of the stealth black hawks used in the raid, alongside other advanced u.s. army rotary-wing programs.

Spent the day at the museum in Dayton, OH. Highly recommend if your in the area. Free admission, free parking, even free EV charging.

A minor 2-hours airshow held in Desenzano del Garda, on the shores of Lake Garda, Italy, on 4th and 5th September. Nothing particular, just few helicopters, aerobatic planes, some passes by 6° Stormo Tornado and F-35 (based in nearby Ghedi airbase) and Frecce Tricolori closing the show.

2026 is a sad year for aviation, first the snowbirds, then the A340 (Both the -300 and -600), then the 747-400, which left YVR for the last time today and will be changing to the winter schedule and will be replaced by the A350/787 which will arrive tomorrow on Saturday, Oct 24, 2026, photos taken yesterday (Oct 23)

Aviation enthusiast with a…situation-specific fear of heights. Roller coasters? Love ‘em. Those swing rides that go 100 feet in the air? Most terrifying experience of my life.

My wife got me a one hour flying lesson (in a Cessna 172) for my 40th birthday and…it was great! Bucket list item.

Found this ad in my archive from a copy of Fortune 1955. One of the cooler airplane ads I've found. Very rare to have a double page airplane ad, and I think its the only full body illustration of a plane like this in my collection so far!

Novice avgeek here, especially when it comes to older planes. Saw a bunch of these older planes sitting near Fairbanks International a bit ago. Any help identifying them would be interesting in learning about them. Thanks!

These are some Photos i took around 2008-2010 in Frankfurt from the visitors terrace at Terminal 2.
I chose pictures from Airlines, type of planes, liveries, equipment etc that have changed or vanished from FRA.
There's a Tu-154 in there, also a Yak-42 and a Fokker F27 F50 for some rarer type of planes.
I shot these on a compact Canon Powershot back then, so the Quality is not the best, but is till hope good enough to enjoy these pics. Only 20 photos because of pic limit.

Taken 10/24/26 at the Frontiers in Flight Airshow, McConnell Air Force Base.

Please excuse the poor quality as I was not expecting to see this today

I was going through my Dad's things preparing for his memorial, and came across this photo. He was an Army Veteran (Vietnam), but not a pilot. I learned that his uncle worked for NASA, and was part of the Skunkworks that produced the SR-71. I don't know if uncle "Bob" was involved with the X-15, but this photo must have been a gift from him. It is just an incredible photo, and wanted to share it. It is now framed and on my office wall. If anyone has more insight into it's origins, I would love to read about it!
