Use of the Hawaiian callsign and HA code concludes tonight as Alaska moves to a single air operator certificate at 00:01 Hawaiian Time on Oct 29. All the airline’s flights will be Alaska from here on out.

Wild times: There’s a fake AI generated accident report for Air India 171 claiming an aircraft fault brought down the flight. Multiple factual inaccuracies give it away, but could look very convincing to the untrained eye.

#OTD in 2009: Air France Flight 447, an A330, crashes NE off Brazil, all 228 aboard die. Aircraft disappeared on a transatlantic route, wreck found 1300 Mi NE of Natal. Investigators pointed combination of frozen sensors and pilot actions/training resulting in loss of control.

What you're seeing are wet microbursts—intense downdrafts from thunderstorms that slam rain into the ground, creating those stunning lobes. Like a reverse explosion from the sky. Captured in Perth, #Australia

#OTD in 2014: Malaysian Airlines MH 370, a B-777 with 239 aboard, disappears off Penang (Malaysia). Contact was lost some 40 mins after take-off, on the Thailand Gulf. Jet was never found; light debris later surfaced in the Indian Ocean. Cause officially undetermined.

Today, 11 years ago, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, a Boeing 777-200ER (9M-MRO), disappeared, with 239 people aboard. Last seen over the Indian Ocean, its fate remains unknown despite extensive searches, making it aviation's greatest mystery. #Airways #Aviation

Let’s rebuild #Aviation Twitter on Bluesky! For a decade, I enjoyed the AvGeek banter with a huge engaged community over there. That place is now DEAD TO ME.

I’m a Ferry Pilot, former Airline Capt, and for the last 25 years, I’ve been moving airliners around the world with my company #Nomadic

🧵So it may appear that we do grab-and-go’s like a bunch of maniac cowboys, but the reality is, by the time I get to a project - a lot has already happened on the airworthiness side. Every aircraft needs to be airworthy, both in the physical AND legal sense. Regardless of registration, each aircraft

Great news today from Boeing about the end of the 787 Shadow Factory. Boeing was using the old 747 line space on the west side of the Everett plant since winter 2023 to inspect/finish 787’s.
Now, the ultimate question. What will Boeing use the old 747 space for? Boeing Everett Factory Map 2016

Remember folks, if you've chosen in your reporting to identify the unconfirmed gender of the pilot flying at the time of an accident you have to do it for every incident and accident going forward. That's the rules. That's equality.

Under international aviation safety agreements, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada will lead the investigation into the CRJ900 crash in Toronto. The U.S. NTSB will be accredited representatives on the American side of the inquiry.

A major incident at YYZ involving a Delta/Endeavor Air CRJ-900. The wings appear to have come off? And aircraft upside down?

YYZ statement: "All passengers and crew are accounted for."

#HowlandIsland is roughly 1700 nm southwest of #Hawaii, just north of the equator. It is a widely believed theory held by the US government that #AmeliaEarhart and #FredNoonan crashed near this point when the plane ran out of fuel.

It's marked as N00W176 on my Nav display.

NTSB Chair @jenniferhomendy.bsky.social is an absolute pro. This briefing is a master class in professionalism.

When it comes to aviation, there is only one high standard to meet. None of us get a free pass when it comes to our qualifications. The idea that DEI played a role in this crash without any evidence is preposterous and irresponsible.
