Yesterday, Japan Airlines and Finnair flights from Helsinki to Tokyo took very different routes. Even though it flew further, Finnair beat JAL to Haneda. We look at some of the flight planning considerations. flightradar24.com/blog/flight-...

Annotated graphic showing flight paths of JL48 and AY61 from Helsinki to Tokyo compared to the great circle distance between the two airports.

Sounds of 1994: Back in 2018, I walked through one of our original class 373 trains to capture some of the noises of equipment and doors.

I wouldn't be surprised if Turkish are making more on Manchester than any of their long haul routes!

How amazing does this Virgin Atlantic A330-300 look as it passes the tower at Manchester Airport in some glorious early morning sunlight.

I've only kept my X account open because there are still one or two accounts who haven't made it to bluesky yet.

I left because it just became way too toxic and I couldn't handle seeing some of the posts on there anymore

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes.

Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

This one's come out to play at last. Thought it'd be rude not to come and say hello!

I'm taking this through to Brum so I can get the lie of the land, see what's changed (and, indeed, what hasn't) and get a photo or two for work.

It has a been a busy week!! Faro x2, Jersey & Geneva, Belfast & Amsterdam and an Athens.

The highlights were seeing an A340-600 in Amsterdam and a Boeing 737-400 in Geneva. The Athens was meant to be a Berlin, with my first flight on our A321NEO as crew, I was not impressed.
