Here they finally are! The airliner trio. Some sketches I made recently, and did not want to postpone their introduction because drawing them takes time unlike sketching.

First up, here's the Boeing 787-8, Julian, with his wife who is Boeing 747-8 heh. He works for American airlines where as the 747 works for UPS.

-> I uh need some help in naming the 747 so I am open to suggestions.

Second is Charlie! He works for Delta airlines and is an Airbus 350-900.

Last one is a 777-300ER who works for United. His name is Austin :)

P.S: sorry for shitty camera quality as always lmao.

"STS-92 Discovery at the Mate-Demate Device

The early-morning sun provides a golden backdrop to the Space Shuttle Discovery encased in the Mate-Demate Device (MDD) at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards, CA. The gantry-like MDD structure is used to prepare the shuttle for its ferry flight back to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, including mounting the shuttle atop NASA's modified Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft.

Shuttle Crew: Commander Brian Duffy; Pilot Pamela A. Melroy; and Mission Specialists Koichi Wakata, Leroy Chiao, Peter J. K. Wisoff, Michael Lopez-Alegria, and William S. McArthur."

Give me a 100k+ fic where Nico, Will and Percy (don’t ask me why he’s here) go on a quest to retrieve something. An object let’s say. Turns out the object is with a pilot, so they end up boarding on the flight the pilot is flying. For 2/3 of the fic they’re just trying to figure out how to make it to the cockpit without getting caught. When they miraculously make it, they find out that both the pilot and the co-pilot are monsters. They end up killing them and retrieve the object, only to realize that now there’s technically nobody to fly the plane.

Cue to panic. The oh-shit-we-may-have-just-doomed-400-passengers-and-ourselves kind of panic. Percy suggests he prays to his father and they just let the plane crash into the ocean but nobody dies. Nico suggests he shadow travels the entire crew, one by one– which obviously got rejected. Then Will chimes in and casually reveals he flew a plane before. All eyes are on him.

And then the last third of the fic aka the climax just consists of Will learning how to land a fucking Boeing 747-8 even though he only has 150 flying hours. Oh and of course he has to manage to 1, not crash the flight; 2, not to land in Tokyo given that their destination is supposed to be London. Luckily it’s a transcontinental flight so he has alllll the time in the world to figure this shit out. Good luck Will!

Breve storia.

Al signor Mario si rompe il telecomando della tv e scende al negozio sotto casa per comprarne uno nuovo. Il negoziante puzzone però non accetta il pos.

E allora lui indignato lascia la merce sul banco e se ne va. D’altronde al signor Mario fottesega che quello c’ha la tassazione al 45%, le bollette da pagare, l’affitto del locale, le commissioni bancarie.

È un evasore e deve fallire, punto e basta. Tornato a casa e compra il telecomando su Amazon, che quelli sono onesti e si fanno pagare cashless. Starà un giorno senza televisione ma sticazzi. Vuoi mettere perdere una comoda sera spaparanzato sul divano a guardare Lilli Gruber a confronto della lotta contro l’evasione fiscale?

Passa un anno. È quasi sera e il signor Mario, assiduo lettore di Repubblica, è seduto sul cesso a leggere il giornale. C’è scritto che Amazon ha pagato 700 milioni di euro di tasse a fronte di 9 miliardi di ricavi. Più o meno l’8%. E un dubbio atroce lo assale.

Ma proprio nel momento in cui l’illuminazione del momento Fantozzi mentre legge i libri del compagno Folagra sta per redimerlo per sempre zzzzzz clap! Si fulmina la lampadina del bagno. Buio pesto.

Cerca tentoni la carta igienica ma la sua mano non incontra nessun rotolo di morbidezza.

Pare sia finita. Allora il signor Mario tutto sporco e trafelato scende di casa per comprare il necessario dal piccolo negozio sotto casa.

D’altronde è un’emergenza e non si può andar troppo per il sottile. Le questioni di principio possono aspettare.

Con suo sommo sgomento, però, scopre che il piccolo esercente ha chiuso i battenti per sempre.

Come hanno fatto la merceria, l’alimentari, il fruttivendolo, la macelleria, il panificio eccetera eccetera. Abbandonando il quartiere al suo destino di dormitorio senz’anima.

Certo ci sarebbero sempre il minimarket pakistano e il bazar cinese, ma le recensioni online dicono che le lampadine Made in China consumano quanto un Boeing 747, emettono più radiazioni di una Tac e rischiano pure di esploderti in testa.

E la carta igienica è talmente chimica che la pelle ti diventa color verde palude e ruvida come carta vetrata grana 40. Allora apre l’app di Amazon per fare l’ordine, tanto il corriere arriva al più tardi domani pomeriggio. Per stasera si arrangerà.

E invece no. Il colosso dell’e-commerce ha fagocitato tutta concorrenza e pertanto non consegna più in 24 ore.

Adesso fa un po’ come gli pare e consegna in 7 giorni lavorativi. Morale. Il signor Mario passa un’intera settimana a cacare a lume di candela e pulirsi il culo col suo giornale preferito. Chissà.

Magari riflettere in penombra lo aiuterà a capire il problema vero dove sta.

Fine.

Buenos Aires, 01.01.24

Die Boeing 747 war voll besetzt. Wir sind um 22:15 Uhr mit leichter Verspätung gestartet. Die ersten Turbulenzen fingen über der nordspanischen Küste an, aber so richtig los ging es, als wir östlich der Kanaren flogen. Wir hatten über dem Atlantik so heftige und langanhaltende Turbulenzen, wie ich es bisher auf meinen zahlreichen Flügen noch nie erlebt habe. Wir wurden so durchgerüttelt und geschüttelt, dass an Schlafen nicht zu denken war; erst über Südamerika ließ es nach. Wir waren froh, als wir um kurz vor 8 Uhr pünktlich in Buenos Aires landeten. Die Paßkontrolle absolvierten wir zügig, nur das Gepäck ließ ewig auf sich warten. Mit Uber ging es dann zum Hotel in der Innenstadt. Wegen Neujahr war wenig los auf der Straße. Glücklicherweise konnten wir nach einer halben Stunde Wartezeit um 10:30 Uhr auf das Zimmer, wo wir erstmal ausruhten.

Gegen Mittag habe ich einen kleinen Erkundungssparziergang zum Obelisken, dem Wahrzeichen von Buenos Aires gemacht bei sommerlichen 27 Grad. Dieser 67,5m hohe Obelisk wurde 1936 in nur einem Monat von deutschen Firmen erbaut.

Am späten Nachmittag sind wir durch die Fußgängerzone gegangen und haben in der Lavallestraße ein Restaurant gefunden, wo wir draußen gegessen haben.

Austria: F-35 to replace the Eurofighters

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 11/10/2022 - 22:09em Military

Austria is considering the fifth-generation F-35 Lightning II stealth game as a potential replacement for its Eurofighter Typhoon fleet after 2030.

The information was revealed on October 7 by the American website specialized in defense Jane's. With a defense budget of €16 billion (US$ 15.5 billion) by 2027, Jane's reveals that the arms management of the Austrian Ministry of Defense (MoD) was tasked with collecting information, allowing a value assessment of a possible acquisition of the fifth generation "stealth fighter" in the next decade.

The Eurofighter flight hour cost is expensive. In addition, the lack of coordination between customer countries, as well as in the method of assembling the devices (their elements are built by each of the parts) poses problems, especially in the supply of spare parts. Having become complicated for a dignified modernization, the T1 standard is simply no longer popular. And to make matters more difficult, the Austrians do not find a buyer country.

In addition, the current 15 Typhoons jets are insufficient to ensure 24/7 air policing. Only a few hours a day (6 to 8) are possible, when the availability of the fleet allows it.

The Armaments Directorate of the Austrian Ministry of Defense has been working on the future aircraft for several years. But this time, a commission was created to study the possibilities offered by Lockheed Martin's F-35. This is just a first step. If the latter is validated, the country will carry out a new evaluation with a possible request for an official offer.

The new Austrian federal government has set the goal to allow the armed forces to effectively and efficiently perform their constitutional tasks of maintaining neutrality and ensuring security in airspace.

It would be the latest European country to choose the American plane manufactured by Lockheed Martin. Last week, the Czech Republic began negotiations for the possible purchase of 24 F-35 stealthmen. Before that, Greece sent an official request to the United States for the purchase of 20 F-35 fighters last July. Spain is considering the acquisition of the F-35, as well as Portugal.

Austria is very interested in a future collaboration with its neighboring Italy, which is producing it, Switzerland, which has just ordered it, and the Czech Republic and Germany, which are heading towards the American plane. The possibilities of training, sharing experiences and maintenance are therefore numerous. There is no doubt that all these options will weigh a lot on the final decision.

In addition, the company said it could deliver the first F-35 fighters to Germany in 2026. Berlin will also acquire the F-35 multifunction fighters, as announced by the German Ministry of Defense last March. In 2030, the F-35s will replace the Tornado fighter fighters, supplied to the Air Force (Luftwaffe) since 1980.

But with regard to Austria, time will reveal whether Jane's report is a concrete hypothesis.

Meanwhile, last February, at the Singapore Airshow, the American defense giant revealed its production goal of the F-35 for 2022, Shepardmedia reported. Lockheed Martin said it expects to produce between 148 and 153 F-35 fighters this year, an increase over the 142 aircraft produced in 2021.

At the end of June, the American defense contractor had declared that she expected an increase in orders in Europe for her fifth-generation fighter.

Lockheed Martin predicted in June 2022 that more than 550 F-35 fighters will be operating in Europe by 2035, above 128 in June 2022.
