Robins at the Airport

So a fun fact about IRL me is that I work in shipping & logistics and I work closely with a lot of the major airlines as both vendors and customers. And it had me thinking. How do the Robins fly? (And no I don't mean with their suits lol)

Also I'm aware that Bruce is a billionaire. Bruce without a shadow of a doubt has not only a private jet but access to a lot of personal travel supplies. That being said, even though some of our boys have definitely flown on Bruce's jet. I have no doubt since most of them are adults now, if they wanna travel they're probably flying commercial.

I'm also a filthy ♌ Leo Sun ♌ and fire signs stereotypically love to travel. So! Here's the Robins and their travel traditions.

Tim Drake

Tim is interesting because he, like Damian, actually grew up with money. Like. The Drake's were in the same tax bracket as Bruce.

Tim likes to travel and has flown everything from small little turboprops to big commercial jets to his family's and Bruce's private jet.

I feel if Tim is going commercial he's that guy who arrives at the airport 4 hours before his flight. He's catching a 7pm flight? Expect Tim to be there at 3pm.

He's that person who can find an outlet by his gate, get some overpriced airport coffee and/or food at a standard fast food restaurant, and wait down the time for his plane to arrive.

Tim dresses pretty smartly but casually. Usually a button up and some jeans with some tennis or boat shoes that are easy to slip off in security.

I don't think Tim sleeps on planes easily unless it's a red-eye. But he does just spend his time on his phone or on his laptop either watching movies or doing coding to kill time.

Dick Grayson

Prior to inheriting all that fortune from Alfred Dick loved to travel and loves airports. Both for the people watching and the jet-set atmosphere.

Traveling around alot as a child helped out with that. The Flying Grayson's almost always traveled by car so anytime Dick gets to go on a plane he gets excited.

Dick has a fascination with Technology and I can certainly see Dick being a low-key Avgeek. Seeing how these huge planes carry hundreds of people across the sky through feats of human engineering is something that makes him smile.

That being said Dick is not often on time for traveling. He always either shows up WAY too early or he's sprinting through security because his flight departs in 45 minutes and he just got to the airport.

Hell even when Dick is EARLY he ends up running late for his flights because he always ends up eating at a restaurant/bar post security with the best views of the planes and loses track of time.

Dick has missed many a flight/connection because he gets lost in the moment much fo Bruce's chagrin. Granted dropping a couple hundred to rebook Dick at a moments notice is literally just a minor hindrance for billionaire Bruce Wayne.

That being said, more than once, Bruce has had to call a charter for a private jet to pick up Dick when he got stuck at an airport and he HAD to be on the last flight out from San Francisco to Newark or Gotham.

Dick can sleep on a plane no problem. None. It's one of the few times he does ever get truly good, restful sleep. Much to the shock of everyone.

Dick always wears something athletic for flights. Usually sweats or compression pants and a hoodie with tennis shoes. He always carries his Nightwing outfit in his carry-on though much to the chagrin of his family.

Damian Wayne-Al Ghoul

BRAT

He's that person I, myself, would hate at an airport. He demands to fly private all the time because he can't be bothered to deal with the riff-raff of us poors.

He gets better as he gets older though. He still demands to fly first class at a BARE minimum and will give Bruce hell for it regardless.

Damian may be a bit snobbish when it comes to trying restaurants but he always wants to eat before he gets on a plane because plane food is gross to him.

He's fine most times though. Like Tim if you plant him in front of an outlet and give him a sketchpad and/or his video games/manga he'll be fine.

On a flight he's always very respectful to the flight staff but he will use them for what they're worth. He takes full advantage of all the perks he's given. He's not old enough to drink but he certainly will take advantage of the snacks he can get (Damian insists on flying Delta because he loves the Biscoff cookies. He doesn't like many sweets, but Biscoff cookies are his weakness.)

Damian is way too vigilant to sleep on a flight. Even if it's a red eye and even if he's flying private. He just can't seem to find a way to be comfortable.

Damian is like Dick, casual and comfortable in dress. It's an airport not a gala.

Jason Todd

So fun fact: we actually have a canon representation of Jason on a regular flight from Red Hood & The Outlaws!

Boy literally wore a blazer on a flight while Roy wore a freaking Tank Top lmao. And he was uncomfortable with Roy's behaviors but flirted with a flight attendant and one of my personal favorite minor characters/love interests in Red Hood's lore, Isabel Ardila.

Jason is also like Dick in that he actually really enjoys traveling. That being said, being legally dead and not on Bruce's best terms means Jason's a well-versed economy traveler.

I read somewhere that Jason has a small personal fortune from the assassinations he's done. But I think he still chooses to fly economy when he can. He sees flying first class as unnecessary and would rather use airline miles for free tickets than free upgrades.

Is a master of getting crap past the radar (it's called checked bags friends. Also if Jason needs to move heavier firepower he knows it's easier to just ship that shit ahead of him.

He's like Damian in that he gets everything he can out if a service. Free pretzels? You bet. Complementary drink? Give him a coke with extra ice (it's canon he likes extra ice in his drinks)

He's always extra nice and polite to all the flight staff and any TSA he sees because Jason knows he's a monster and has to work extra hard to blend in.

#Jason todd #dick grayson #tim drake #damian wayne al ghul #robins #batfam #rants #posts for me but you all can enjoy too if you want.

17 for the travel ask game (:

-🦕(your local dinosaur anon)

Thank you very much, dinosaur anon! ❤️ I am sorry for the delay in my answer and how long my it became! 😅

17. Tell me a travel horror story

I thankfully haven't really experienced anything I consider horrific, or anything really bad that I can think of at the moment, but I have found out that I haven't had much luck at airports! So a longtime family friend of ours is a pilot for Southwest Airlines and he likes to give us free tickets to take a trip to wherever Southwest flies. While the free tickets are awesome, you aren't guaranteed a specific flight since these tickets are standby. So while he has access to let us know in advance how full a specific flight may be at the moment, it can always change and the plane may suddenly have full capacity while you're at the airport waiting to board. So if you aim for a specific flight to go somewhere on a limited route, you may be stranded at the airport if your specific flight is full and there isn't another one on the same route until tomorrow.

So this had happened to me both times we have used these tickets, but one of them was a little more "adventurous" than the other. My dad and I were trying to go from Seattle to Chicago late in the afternoon and the flight we were aiming for got filled up so we had to wait for a few more hours. My dad called our pilot friend to tell him that our flight was full and asked what the capacity looked like for the next flight back to Chicago. It had room but wasn't coming until nighttime. At the same time, there was a very delayed flight at the gate our new plane was supposed to be arriving at later so it was pretty chaotic at our end of the terminal with tons of angry people. So our flight became delayed but there were seats available and we eventually boarded and were now leaving Seattle for the nearly 4 hour flight back to Chicago.

With these tickets though you sit wherever there are empty seats, so my dad sat towards the front of the plane and I sat towards the back and in a middle seat. The ladies I sat between were really nice though, but the woman to my left warned me that she easily gets sick on flights. So when we took off she held up a Kleenex to her mouth like she was going to throw up and I immediately thought "Well this isn't going to be a pleasant flight." She thankfully didn't throw up though! As we got closer towards Chicago we ran into a thunderstorm, which gave us some turbulence. It was a small amount of turbulence but the lady next to me started gagging into her Kleenex again, but again she thankfully never threw up but had a death grip on her arm rests.

So we were beginning to descend now and the turbulence got a little stronger and it really wasn't too bad but it was bumpy. I could see that we were passing through low clouds as we got closer and closer to the ground. Right as we were about to land the engines suddenly spooled back up and we went right back into the air. The copilot let us know that the go-around happened because the airport had decided to change the landing direction because the wind had suddenly shifted. That part wasn't scary or anything, as an avgeek I actually thought that it was awesome to experience a go-around, but as we were climbing back up you could see off in the not-too-far-but-not-too-close distance the landing lights of the new traffic pattern lining up on final so that was odd to think about being close to oncoming traffic. So anyways we finally landed at about 3:00 am at Midway and began our 3 1/2 hour drive back home. My dad eventually had to pull over to sleep a little bit so we ended up getting home even later than we had planned.

And that's my story! It's nothing too horrific, or really horrific at all, but it wasn't very pleasant lol. One really awesome part about this story though is that we departed Seattle while the sun was setting and it was getting dark out. We climbed through a layer of clouds on our way out and I saw the top of Mt. Rainier sticking up through the clouds and it was so cool and pretty to see! :]

#I don't think I've ever had a themed anon before haha how sweet!#sorry this got really long though lol #if I do think of anything really bad that has happened to me while traveling I'll reblog this again #thank you dinosaur anon!#dinosaur anon 🦕#ask game

Welcome to hell my unpopular Tumblr blog :D

(Please read this though I doubt you will lol)

A little bit about me:

My name is Jay (obviously it's literally in this blog name)

I am part Ukrainian. I will make war jokes. It's just my way of coping. If you make war jokes, however, I will find your ip address

I'm a recovering sh addict, and no life isn't perfect but trust me I'm fine. Perfectly fine.

I made dark jokes to cope with depression, if you're offended then I'm sorry that you're a pussy

I used to have a bird named Tori. He will always be superior to all of us.

If you talk shit about my favorite YouTuber, I *will* end you (I already got in a fight once and won when someone way older then me called him a Neo Nazi)

I'm an ✨avgeek✨ and I can and will talk about my favorite airplanes for long periods of time

I'm also doing art trades now as well as willing to take requests (please I'm bored tell me to draw shit) and also feel free to draw my OCs!

I've spent the last 3 years creating a project titled 'Nebo- tse Dim' or 'The Sky is Home' where you will occasionally receive art, character info, and lore dumps here.

The story 'Nebo- Tse Dim' (Небо- це Дім/The Sky is Home) may include dark themes such as:

Life in war-torn areas

Loss of a parent

Maternal mortality

Corruption

Suicidal ideation

Self harm

Extreme amounts of violence (it's a war fantasy it's not going to be all sunshine and rainbows)

Gore. So. Much. Gore.

Substance abuse

Loss of close friends

Abusive parents (but hey it's one of the antagonists, mc is perfectly fine)

Witnessing the homicide of someone you love at a young age

Terrorism (obviously cuz the main antagonist is the head of a major terrorist group)

Undiagnosed depression/anxiety

Major PTSD flashbacks

Minor hints at domestic terrorism (it was only in one scene)

War (because it's a war fantasy! Of course there's going to be war!)

Child abuse/neglect

Abuse of power

And probably a lot more that I forgot to mention

Anyways please be nice and thanks for tolerating my shenanigans

🔫 also read my webtoons dammit

Slapping a dumb clock app vid up I had in my camera roll from when I got a custom wrench made by Boeing. Got it from a guy that used to build 747s at the Boeing factory. C:

I'd like to invest in a whole set of these offset wrenches one day (theyre like 10-12 bucks a piece, cheaper than snap on & cooler too B) ), or maybe make some myself from a $8 set of harbor freight sockets. Maybe even incorporate a small magnet inside too so I can quit losing washers in hard to reach areas 😅

“Roses are Red and Sunday is painted Blue” - An A220 sits at C15 @flylogan loading up for its next route. This day was extremely overcast, and If you wonder how many shots you’ll see versus what I took here’s an idea…out of 500 on a cloudy day you may see 50. Lol goes to show how important it is to take as many shots as you can!!

On the Douglas DC-9, the thrust reverser buckets when deployed were vertical- top bucket in line with the bottom bucket. This became problematic with some airlines as the lower bucket’s thrust efflux would kick up all sorts of FOD that could get sucked into the engine. ⁣ ⁣ Air Canada had a fleet of DC-9-10s and DC-9-30s and came up with a fix by angling the lower bucket out 17 degrees which toed in the upper bucket when reverse thrust was selected. Anything kicked up by the lower bucket was blown out to the side away from the engine intake. Many other airlines picked up Air Canada’s modification and McDonnell Douglas introduced the 17 degree rotation of the reverser buckets as production standard beginning with the Series 50. Any Series 30 aircraft built after the start if Series 50 production also had this fix as factory standard. ⁣ ⁣ So for example, all DC-9-34s have it fresh from the factory, but not all DC-9-33s did. ⁣ ⁣ When the MD-80 came along, that angled out reverser buckets was kept despite the newer engines as seen on N984TW- note the fairings for the thrust reverser actuator arms aren’t exactly horizontal with each other. Interestingly, despite all new engines and nacelles, the Boeing 717 (which I will insist on still referring to an MD-95 at times. Or most of the time, LOL) also has the same angled out reversers!⁣ ⁣ #Avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #KDFW #DFW #dfwavgeek #airport #planespotting #airlines #McDonnellDougas #MD80 #American #AmericanAirlines #N984TW #instagramaviation #splendid_transport #instaaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #flight #AvGeeksAero #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge #AvGeekNation #TeamAvGeek #MD80Sunset (at DFW Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2iS9cgBToS/?igshid=f4v3zodhl71q
