Thanks Gary for that background on the tragic accident to the L188. The report that I read stated that he taxiied out on engines 1 and 4, starting 2 and 3 on the way to the runway. It must have been a short taxi out because they were rolling onto the runway and setting up takeoff power just 2 minutes and 10 seconds after starting the first engine at their parking position on the ramp. The air start access door that had not been secured measured just 8 inches by 11 inches, but that was big enough to create so much buffeting and vibration once the Electra was airborne at 120 knots that the Captain thought he had an engine or propeller problem...

This was the last Airbus that retained the conventional control column.

Nice shot of the Grumman and the Aztec out of Danbury CT.

This is a great early morning shot Gary! Just by chance, yesterday I came across a copy of a safety document that my airline used to distribute to their pilots back in the '80s. It's dated July 1988. On opening it up, the first article is about a Galaxy Airlines L188 Electra that crashed a couple of minutes after takeoff at KRNO in early '85. He was enroute to MSP, more than 3 hours to the east. One passenger was the only survivor.

Not many classic Comanche 400's were built. Around 150 airframes out of Lock Haven PA from 1964 to '66.

I hadn't realised that there is still a DC8 still operational. This has made my day! A great shot including the practically deserted Covid19 beach at TNCM.

Hi Steven, those used F18's Canada is getting are ex RAAF Royal Australian Airforce. They are the classic A model Hornet which Australia has been flying since around 1985 and they've been well maintained! We have also been operating Super Hornets for the past 10 years. We are now taking delivery of F35's.

Great to see this 100 series taxiing at Toronto Pearson.

It's called reality. Which is the environment that aircraft exist in. Think of FIKI.
