Confine people for a year, let them out, put them through 2hrs of security theater, enclose them in a small tube, add in a little American entitlement, and light the fuse.

Landing an A340 (high gross weight version too) on the Antarctic ice. Pretty cool. It is an actual airport, believe it or not!

I didn't always like riding home in the cold and dark but the low sun could give some pretty ambience.

Fml I forgot what drag UEFI is when you have to get a non automatical distro working

The wellness industry is a scam that lets an HR department think they can outsource their duty of care and claim stress is yesterday's problem. Thr companies laugh all the way to the bank.

I had this very strange dream that Amazon bought my workplace, outsourced all the IT and made us become truckers.

Generally speaking if you get frustrated with Linux you will probably end up ar Arch, Gentoo or Slackware.

This is a weird article. If Slackware is right for you you already know it. Also the comment about Lilo shows the author doesn't really get it.

And off it goes on those blazing Klimov RD-33s.

A Polish MiG-29UB (formerly of East Germany) bathing in a rare bit of 🌞 in Yeovilton. If you'd have told me growing up I'd be taking pictures of a MiG-29 alongside RAF aircraft at a Royal Navy base I'd have never believed it.

Panavia Tornado of the Royal Air Force leaving Yeovilton. Very much the aircraft that accompanied a rural childhood in Yorkshire, with them thundering all over the wolds on low-level sorties, practicing for a war in Germany that thankfully never came.

A Hungarian An-2 having a fun little run at Yeovilton in 2011. It has a party trick where the minimum speed is so slow in a headwind it appears to be hovering (groundspeed of zero).

Max performance climbout for the A380. The telephoto exaggerates the angle, it was nevertheless a sight to behold. The aircraft stayed pretty much inside the display box the whole time, like an elephant doing ballet.

The Airbus A380 demo at Farnborough, this time with the Engine Alliance power (Pratt & Whitney and GE, iirc) prior to its absolutely bonkers demo flight.

EGHI had loads of General Aviation movements. This is a Turbo Arrow that despite being in the UK full time has an American Registration.
