'“Russian Sky Will Be Closed”, #Zelenskyy Warns Air Companies Operating in #Russia'
Just to be clear, because fake outrage concern #troll idiots and #vatnik liars always clutch their pearls over #Ukrainian actions and never mention #Russia's constant mass murder of civilians:
" #Zelensky noted that #Ukraine poses no threat to civilian aviation itself, yet the war initiated by #Moscow is effectively shutting down its own skies"

Biggest thanks as always goes to the crews, ground staff, dispatchers, ATC, who keep us all moving through the bullshit inflicted upon them. We thank you, and recognize that you likely didn't expect to have to deal with as much poo as you do on a daily basis.

#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 1️⃣: Points ⏺️
Oh boy, another year of daily mapmaking!
For Day 1, I decided to create a map of the extant airports of the 🇵🇭 #Philippines that have either an IATA or ICAO code. I thought it would be a simple job, but parsing the data from #Wikipedia was pretty gnarly. Once I had clean data, the actual map creation using #D3js was pretty straightforward.

Best cockpit announcement yet.
After a long taxi: "Well Folks, we've driven about as far as we can. We're going to have to fly the rest of the way. Flight attendants, please take your seats."

"The Last Flight: The Untold Story of the Search for JFK Jr. and the Race Against the Atlantic" by Captain W. Russell Webster & Theresa M. Webster. My rating: 4 out of 5 stars. Published in 2026.
Book description: "On a hazy July night in 1999, John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife Carolyn, and her sister Lauren vanished over the waters off Martha’s Vineyard—triggering a national vigil and one of the most ambitious search operations in American history. For days, the world watched and waited. This book is the full story of what happened after the crash. Captain W. Russell “Russ” Webster, the Coast Guard commander who led the search, and historian Theresa Mitchell Webster, take readers inside the mission to locate the missing aircraft and recover its passengers.
A sad but informative read--one not filled with speculation, but a chronicle of that time, the subsequent search, recovery and investigation of this tragedy.
