In December 1941, Pan Am flight 18602 was trapped the wrong side of the Pacific by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

To get home, her civilian crew would need to do the near-impossible: circumnavigate the world in commercial seaplane.

Holy crap. Space Nazi and all his de-orbiting satellites?

I'd welcome both reposts and comments, and my material is surely of interest to at least a few 'Aviation Cultures'.

Sharing this again because it brings me something like comfort.

Why do they need to hire extra protection? Just arm themselves like they expect teachers to be?

... Asking for a few million school kids

Before I answer… Do I have to come back?

Third time's the charm. Red orb sunrise behind the Nubble Lighthouse that intercepted some clouds as it rose higher, making it look like it developed rings like Saturn for a moment. Also, note the little black dots on the sun - sunspots.

Also failure to raise gear could be the result of distraction due to emergeny, procedure to leave it down due to increase in drag during the retraction cycle or failure so bad the gear system was inop.

Obviously I/we have NO IDEA, just reiterating that fact... So many variables at play

I love it!

United and JetBlue are officially partners.

Initially the deal is all loyalty, and an interline agreement.

In 2027, the airlines will swap slot pairs/runway timings that see United gain 7 flights at JFK, and JetBlue 8 at Newark.
