A blog about planes and other flying machines
I went out to DFW Airport’s Founder’s Plaza recently and took a bunch of fotos and video. Here are a couple of pictures that I took while I was out there that day. The weather was not very cooperative that day, however there was a nice headwind for the planes to fly into. I tried [...]
This is crazy video footage of the collision between an Air France A380 with a Delta Connection CRJ at JFK Airport in New York. I couldn’t figure out how something like this could have happened. I mean, I know the A380 is a huge plane, and maybe the pilot didn’t see the smaller CRJ and [...]
This is some really cool plane to plane video shot from one airliner showing an Air France Boeing 777 flying side by side. My bet, is that they were transatlantic somewhere, but I could be wrong about that.
Well, well, well, what have we here? It looks like it’s an old JAL, aka Japan Air Lines, Boeing 747. I’m glad to see that this one will be spared from being scrapped. For now. I would imagine that General Electric will use this plane to test new engine technology, but also electronics and other [...]
Cool video from Boeing showing off the unveiled Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental. The plane was painted in a new livery which symbolizes prosperity and good fortune. Personally, I like this plane.

This is some really cool cockpit video of the contrail of an Airbus A380. The footage was taken from the cockpit of a KLM Boeing 747-400 that was heading in the opposite direction.

The company has installed an interim version of updated power distribution system software and conducted a rigorous set of reviews to confirm the flight readiness of ZA004, the first of the six flight test [...]
Saudi places an order for an additional 12 Boeing 777-300 planes to add to their fleet of B777-200ER series planes
Over the summer, I had the opportunity to do some plane spotting over in San Francisco. I arrived early enough that I was able to snag the very best spot. I captured a rather mundane picture of a SouthWest Airlines Boeing 737 touching down at SFA, that just didn’t speak to me. I liked that [...]
This is the first of, I believe 3 parts, of my personal 2011 aviation highlights. This was a very active year with my aviation hobby as I got to see planes that I hadn’t seen before, I went to a couple of airshows and also went plane spotting out of state. Part 1, comes from [...]
