The oldest airworthy, and still flying, aircraft and engine in the world.
Blériot Type XI No. 14, G-AANG, with its Anzani three-cylinder W Engine, at The Shuttleworth Collection, Old Warden.
One of the ‘Edwardians’, this 114 year old plane occasionally makes small hops down the runway on especially calm summer evenings.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dads
Pjsk x fem! reader
Summary: How do the boys act as fathers?
This writing contains.... Aged up! boys that are married to reader....
A/N: I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO REQ THIS anyway thanks for requesting! I had so much fun writing this :p hope you like it🙏
Tumblr media
Kamishiro Rui:
sweet
Hes so sweet
You guys are such a happy family
He'd be a weird dad tho
Sweet but weird
When hes feeding the baby, instead saying something normal like “Here comes the airplane.”, he'll be like “Here comes the Antoniv Boeing Wright Blériot Stratolaunch 225 Mriya.” (its supposed to be a type of airplane or airplane model)
The baby be giving him that side eye like "wtf"
He probably made a machine that automatically changes diapers
Bro was prepared
His child is prolly a mischievous one ngl
Imagine hes just talking to you using big words like "discombobulate" or smth and the child is just staring at him, confused like "thats a word??"
He would prolly teach them how to make smoll things
As if rui alone wasnt enough, you have to convice both of them not blow up the house
Thanks to rui, your child will also despise vegetables
Again, as if rui wasnt enough, you have to hide vegetables in both of their foods
Rui would find it and then dump in the childs bowl, then the child will find it and dump it in your bowl
Honestly youre the only mature one in the house(if you even are)
Other than those shenanigans, hes a pretty good father
He'll make pretty much anything if your child is feeling down or sad
And if their sick, he'll make a robot of their favorite animal to entertain them
Now, when the child was a baby, he'd probably like to sweet talk them a lot and squish their chubby cheeks
When their a toddler, he'd probably let them ride on his neck a lot while going on a walk
When their a young middle schooler, hes more likely to carry them on his back instead of his neck for obvious reasons
Id think he'd be ready for the teen years and if any drama or anything like that happens at school, he'll be right there for his child.
He was super close when they were younger, so it's somewhat easy to run to Rui when things go wrong
Hed be a silly and goofy father I feel like
He'd by the type to kiss the forehead constantly
He'll do it 10x if they pushed him away and were embarrassed by it
He'll definitely defend his child and even talk to the principal if needed if his child gets bullied at school
He'd hate it if his child felt how he did when he was in school
Does his best to cheer them up and suceeds half of the time
Probably a bit strict
If your child ever said that they liked someone, he will want to meet the person, but also give them advice
He just wants his child to be happy but also doesn't want them to get their heartbroken
Will be so surprised when his daughter brought a boy home
He welcomed him warmly and slightly seriously
Definitely asks questions
Tumblr media
Tenma Tsukasa:
Hes prolly the most fathery father if you know what i mean
Honestly idk how you child cannot be close with him
Hes literally like the best father
Definitely says here comes the airplane everytime he feeds the kid
If he tried to change a diaper, itd probably just end up tangled
Once he finallh successfully changed a diaper but then he forgot the baby powder so he had to redo it again
He definitely leaves his child with any of his troupemates for playdates if they have children
His children hangout with aunt Saki every weekend
Idek how your child can ever be sad he will literally always brighten their day
I mean he is a star after all
If your child doesn't know what they like or wanna be when they grow up, he'll definitely teach them different things like how to act, play the piano, or sing
If your child is an acter then theyve just grown 100x closer
If thats even possible
If youre an acter as well
Honestly he couldn't be happier with the family he has
If he has hed prolly want 2 or 3, or maybe even 4 children if you like
He likes his children having eachother and never feeling lonely
If one of them gets sick, he'll do his best to take care of them, but also to not neglect the other children cuz he doesn't want his chold to feel like how he did when he was neglected
His morning routine is kissing everyone in the house
He wakes up, gives you a morning kiss on your lips, then goes to his childrens room to kiss their foreheads
depending on the age and personality, I feel like his children would be embarrassed by him
He will definitely cheer for his child/children loudly if they like to play any sport and will hold up a huge sign saying something idk
Whether they do good or not, he will always run to them after the match and spin them around and compliment them
He would totally freak out if their child said they liked someone
Remember how he acted when he thought Saki was going on a 'date'?
He'd prolly freak out 100x for his child
While his child was away and on their date, he would be panicking
He'd constantly want to call his child to see how its going, but of course he doesn't want to interrupt them
Once they come back home, he bombards them with questions
If they say it went fine then he'll sigh in relief
If they say it went bad, then he'll get super tense and only ask them more questions
Hes definitely the one who talks the most at the dinner table
Loses all his sanity if his child ever brought someone home
Nervously asks them questions while they eat
Tumblr media
Aoyagi Toya:
hes definitely the most careful dad out of the bunch
He thinks about everything he does and says very carefully before speaking to his child
He just doesn't want to mess up or accidentally say something wrong
On the babys 1 yr birthday, they plopped their hands all in the cake and them rubbed toyas face with their hands
He just sat there, blinking before chuckling and licking some of the cake
probably doesnt know how to change a diaper
Plz help this man
He tries to be strict but hes not very good at it
He definitely read his child bedtime stories when they were younger
Will do anything for his child to be happy
Even playing the piano or violin
He might teach them how to use them if they want
Hes super careful though cuz he doesn't want them to feel pressured and uncomfortable like how he felt when he was taught
He'll definitely give the best advice to his child if they are ever in need of it
When the teenage years arrive, he'll try his best to be by his child
If they get bullied in school, then, like Rui, he might have to talk to the principal or even switch schools if it gets that bad
I feel he's a very good role model maybe idk
I feel like An would babysit his child if needed often
Akito would be that one uncle that takes the child out often(maybe?)
If his child ever wants to go on a date, he will be supportive and try his best to give advice and to warn them about how difficult or how relationships take a lot of effort
If the date went well, then he'll prolly just pat their head and smile
If the date didnt go well, then he'll just quietly listen to them explain or talk or whatever they wanna do and just try to cheer them up with his soft words and advice
If his child likes to play sports and when they win, he will quietly congratulate them and maybe make a small celebration at home
If they lose, then he'll compliment them regardless and tell that there's always next time
Tumblr media
Shinonome Akito:
the most aloof
He'll act like everythings fine and he knows what hes doing, but in reality, he doesn't know a thing about parenting
he tries to be strict.... And it works.... Sometimes
Auntie Ena would definitely occasionally steal the baby away from him and take pictures of her and her niece/nephew and post them on social media
Akito definitely gets suspicious and starts to think she only likes his baby for the fame/hj
he'll definitely sweet talk his baby and play with their fingers but immediately stop when you enter the room
if you tease him about he'll just deny it of course
But then you see that the baby is happier then when you last saw them so you no hes lying
Doesn't know a friggin thing about changing diapers
The first time you asked him to change their diaper he was like “Uh.... Yeah.... So um.... What do I do again?”
Of course you have to teach him to change it and it probably took him three tries to get it right
He once swore in front of his toddler but then immediately cut himself off after remembering his child was there
He was like “W-Wait, no, don't say that..”
And then of course he had to deal with your scolding afterwards
One time he almost swore but stopped himself after seeing that his toddler was watching “Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiioooot....”
I feel like he'd get embarrassed if his child asked him to sing them to bed
But of course he cant say no to him so he does
And then you walk in
He immediately stops singing and then the child is just staring at him like why tf did you stop
Then youre like, “Did I interrupt something?”
Suddenly the atmosphere is awkward
He coughs it up and then searches for a book so he can read to the child
If your child plays sports then he will happily and loudly cheer them on
Bonus points if they play soccer
He will always ruffle their hair and tell them good job whenever they win
Whenever they lose hes like “Don't sweat it, you still did great.”
If his child ever goes on a date, he'll try to act chill but again, he'll be freaking out in the inside
While the child is gone, he'll unintentionally ask you every 10 minutes “You think they'll be okay?”
Of course you have to reassure him theyll be fine or he will literally go crazy
When they come back he immediately greets them at the door and asks them how it went
If they say it was good, then he'll let out a huge sigh of relief he didnt even know he was holding in
If they said it went bad, then he'll be like “What?! How? Did something happen?”
If his daughter ever brings home a boy then he will mildy freak out and will watch him like a hawk and subtly glare at the boy as if to say “You make one mistake and youre out.”

Earlier this year, I went to Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, and I was struck by who I saw using some of the accessibility features of the exhibits.
Tumblr media
[Image Description: Photo of the Command Module Columbia exhibit at Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. The command module, which sits behind glass, is a full-size truncated cone with a docking probe and dish-shaped aft heat shield. In front of the glass is a sign with information about the command module on the left, a photograph in the middle, and a labeled smaller model on the right. The smaller model is labeled in both slightly raised text and Braille, and has a slightly raised hand icon next to it inside of a yellow speech bubble. End Image Description.]
This exhibit, like several others, included a part of the sign you were supposed to touch, as indicated by the hand symbol. This meant that people who couldn't see the actual thing behind the glass could get a very good idea of what every part of it looked like by touching the model and reading the label, which was offered in both raised letters and Braille.
Tumblr media
[Image Description: Close up of the right side of the exhibit sign from the previous image. The light shining on the black surface of the exhibit sign shows darker spots where people left fingerprints. The entire Braille label is a near solid dark spot. End Image Description.]
This is obviously very cool and it's great that they invested inclusive design. But what really struck me about this was how much it was being used. You can tell from the photo that the Braille part of the sign has had many fingers on it, but I don't actually think all of those were from members of the target audience.
I could be wrong, of course, you can never really tell if someone is blind or low vision simply by looking at them. But I saw multiple children come up and run their hands over the smaller model mounted to the sign. At least one of them was running their fingers along the Braille too.
And it wasn't just children either. I saw at least one adult (other than myself) interacting with a similar model in another exhibit, one of a footprint on the moon. This one openly encouraged you to touch it rather than just implying permission like the one in this picture did. And that got me thinking: how many more adults would be doing the same thing the kids were if they weren't held back by this unspoken "oh, this feature is not for me" assumption? There are many haptic learners out there, after all.
If the people who design these museums realized the potential for a curb cut effect here, how many more exhibits would have these features?
And having full three-dimensional modules for people to touch weren't the only thing this museum offered either. You don't have to have all that to make the sign more user-friendly to those who have trouble seeing it.
Tumblr media
[Image Description: A sign with a two-dimensional diagram of the Blériot XI aircraft. Each part of the illustration, including the person next to it for size, is slightly raised off the surface of the sign. All words on the diagram are labeled in both raised text and Braille. Beside the diagram is a slightly raised hand icon next to it inside of a yellow speech bubble. The labeled parts are the front, propeller, rudder, and elevator, most of which have arrows pointing to the respective parts of the illustration. End Image Description.]
You can make two-dimensional diagrams accessible too.
Finally, as an aside, the videos at the exhibits, the ones you could play on your own, all had open captions, and at least one had open audio descriptions as well.

Dark Aircraft...
Tumblr media
Dark Blériot Type XI.
Dark aircraft have a long and hallowed history stretching back to the dawn of aviation.
(actually it is just an excuse for me to post these cool aircraft silhouette images.)

The Blériot XI was such a beautiful design. Primitive by today's standards, sure, but look at this thing! What grace and elegance! Also while it's no longer considered a good idea, it doesn't have normal control surfaces on the wings - instead the controls warp the entire shape of the wing, instead of just wiggling flaps.
And there are still examples that fly today! They are over a hundred years old!

Adventuresses We Love - Jerrie Mock
60 years ago this week, Adventuress Jerrie Mock became the first woman to fly solo around the world. On March 19,1964, Mock took off from the Columbus, OH, airport in her single engine Cessna 180, the "Spirit of Columbus." She headed east, spending several days crossing the Atlantic before touching down for her first stopover in Morocco, where "…there were no nightmares of thunderheads over the Atlantic. Dressed in red satin, I danced in marble palaces." From there, she continued on, her route taking her over Egypt (where she touched down at a secret military base she'd mistaken for the Cairo airport,} Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, and the Pacific, before finally returning to Columbus. She touched down in Columbus on April 17, 1964 - two weeks ahead of Joan Merriman Smith, who was circling the globe at the same time, following Amelia Earhart's westerly route.
Mock would go on to set several more records in the world of flight. Among her many honors, she was awarded the Louis Blériot medal from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, the Federal Aviation Agency Gold Medal for Exceptional Service, and the Amelia Earhart Memorial Award. In 2022, she was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame.
Jerrie Mock died September 30, 2014. The "Spirit of Columbus" is on display at the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center outside of Washington, DC.
