Could try the VMware or VirtualBox virtual machines, but might need to look into some emulators for games and sims from the 90s for the best experience. https://youtu.be/mWEE2RJj3YI https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/index.html

Well, they do say in the video that one of the DC-3s they have flew in D-Day, but was rebuilt after the war and grandfathered into the newer regulations. All their Electras were civilian models (I think almost all were civilian in general). The Beavers and Otters were likely old enough to be grandfathered in too or were just simply cheaper to get re-certified for civilian use. Laws do change, but I wouldn't expect them to change any time soon in this case.

As Mike in the video says, in Canada you can't operate surplus military aircraft, at least at the moment. Doesn't matter how resourceful any of the operators are if it isn't permitted. Maybe like his dad says, if the demand from mining increases dramatically, they could afford a brand new civilian Hercules. Until then, however, I suspect the Air Lynden outfit across the border in Alaska will be enough to handle any loads that require a Herc. Canadian operators will either need to convince the government to change the regulations, or find a lot of money somewhere.

I wouldn't hold my breath on that.

They do have a few changes in the rocket for the next launch. https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/06/spacex-making-more-than-1000-changes-to-next-starship-rocket/

Look up the Ice Pilots NWT TV show. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Pilots_NWT They also re-created the bouncing bombs used in the RAF Dambuster Raids from WWII.

Speaking of Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks, there is a cross-over episode coming to SNW this season. https://www.cbr.com/star-trek-strange-new-worlds-lower-decks-crossover-complicated/

You first! https://youtu.be/rbE53XUtVw0

Microsoft already did that.

While impressive, I'm not sure I would want to fly on this (assuming someone else was paying for it as I certainly don't have the money). At least with New Shepard and Dragon there are escape options if something goes wrong, like the engine blowing up for any reason.

The blancolirio channel has a video out about this accident that gives a good look at the ferry tanks used.

Sounds like they had fuel problems and had turned back. https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/2-dead-after-plane-that-took-off-from-santa-rosa-crashes-40-miles-off-half/

The distance from the west coast of North America to Hawaii is a bit longer than any of those legs hopping across the Atlantic though.

While the normal operating MTOW is 12,500 lbs, for ferry flights they are certified for up to 17,500 lbs. Being this is a -400 model, it is a relatively new plane.

They fill the cabin with additional fuel tanks. http://www.worldwideferry.com/ferry-tanks.html https://youtu.be/Wv1gGCP0-U8

Here's the blancolirio video covering this incident. Looks like the gear may not have been angled properly when it touched down. https://youtu.be/y0JU8u0kPOc

Which was almost entirely to do with people thinking God (or gods, of whichever religion one followed) created the Earth for us, especially kings and emperors (cause they're the chosen ones, dontcha know), and little to nothing to do with whether they thought it was round or flat. As they also had little ability to go up very far, and not much further down either, claiming everything to the heavens and below was an easy way to describe it.

We've known the Earth was round long before modern property rights and laws were written. The ancient Greeks figured it out millenia ago, and Columbus wasn't trying to prove the world was round, only that he thought it was smaller than everyone thought. However, many of the concepts behind those laws were written when we did think the world was the centre of the universe before things like aircraft and spacecraft existed. https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/post/busting-a-myth-about-columbus-and-a-flat-earth/2011/10/10/gIQAXszQaL_blog.html

Obstruction of a federal investigation, including lying about not knowing the location of the crash site as well as removing and destroying the aircraft. https://www.thedrive.com/news/youtuber-crashed-plane-for-views-and-cut-up-aircraft-to-hide-from-feds

Bombardier already had plans for the CS500 model to follow the CS100 and CS300 before Airbus bought the program. The potential for the CS500 to be built was a big part of why Boeing essentially tried to kill the program.

There are some interesting features in those Iranian mountains.

Leaving aside the overly hyperbolic headlines, for some of the Commonwealth realms (it wasn't just the UK that got a new king), King Charles could well be their last monarch.

Boeing could have been the one doing this, but were instead shortsighted and tried to kill the CSeries.
