I just finished my aviation-themed pumpkin carving for Halloween this year! After seeing the Mig-17 flying at Airshow London, I was inspired to make that the subject of my carving this year. Apologies if the flair is wrong, I wasn't sure what would fit best.

Forgive the bad camera work, I was busy watching the plane with my own eyes

What the title says. Rare bird, even rarer that we get permission to photograph or video on the flightline. Enjoy!

My sister recorded this video while flying from Delhi to the USA. She was flying over Singapore when she noticed numerous large ships illuminated across the sea at night.

I found it fascinating to see so many ships from the aircraft. Is this a common sight on flight routes passing over Singapore, given its role as a major shipping hub?

Sharing the video to learn more about what can be seen from the air in this region.

Been spotting at luke the last week. This guy aero-braked at least 4,000ft

I actually really love this photo that I took yesterday. But I’ve actually never seen this livery before.

Have always been interested in aviation and I pay very close attention to small details, like the positioning of the primary flight controls as those interests me the most.

I've recently noticed the ailerons behave differently on the A321XLR compared to the A321neo upon touchdown.

On the XLR, the aileron essentially deflects upwards and almost acts as an extra ground spoiler along with the main spoilers. I understand this is what's called the "aileron anti droop" function which is found on the A320neo, A350/some Boeing aircraft as well.

But looking at the A321neo, the aileron remains at neutral after touch down and does not deflect upwards.

I've watched a lot of landing videos and it does seem to support this hypothesis.

The above screenshots of 2 landing videos, shows the XLR aileron deflecting upwards while the A321N's ailerons remain neutral.

Any A321 neo/XLR pilots here can explain why does the A321XLR have this function while the regular A321N doesn't?

I've searched online but can't seem to find anything.

Would be great to learn the underlying reasons of why the XLR's flight controls are designed as such!

Last-ever revenue flight (4Y 51) for the A330-200 in Discover paint.

Happened to be at the right place at the right time. An-124 coming into ORF this afternoon. Never thought I’d see one with my own eyes.

I had no idea lightning could cause that much damage to asphalt. This must happen quite often, and lead to a lot of delays?

lift off at London City Airport

First Everett-built Boeing 737 MAX 10 outside today at the factory. Line Number 9504 for WestJet.

Date: 10/26/2026
Location: Everett / Paine Field (KPAE)

My first time seeing a C17 in flight, and they treated us to 5 passes.
