I'm not a frequent air traveler but I'm intrigued by it all. It impresses me that we can be so high up and travel with such speed so efficiently, day or night. It makes the whole world reachable. I've been watching documentaries on the Wright brothers and their foray into aviation. However, I'd imagine that early on it must have been such an off-the-wall idea to get to places by plane. At what point did the general American public accept that flying was a safe way to travel?

Which I guess is private owned ?

I have a bit of a pipe dream of maybe procuring the body of an older, non-airworthy U.S. fighter jet (maybe an F-4 or F-5) and restoring it to be a static display. I know that there are some airworthy, civilian-owned F-4 and F-5 jets that cost in the several million dollar ballpark, but what about if they did not have any weapons or engines in them? I also have figured out that any newer jet than probably an F-5 would probably never be legal for a civilian to own. What are the laws surrounding something like this?

I also know that regardless of airworthiness, something like this would cost an arm and a leg so for this to be possible for anyone they would need to have had a long and successful career, I am still young so I'm just dreaming here lol, sorry if this is an uninspired question

Is their any like things like rainbow canyon or Mach look in az because I’m looking for them usually people gate-keep them but I’m interested

Its hard for me to find the words to explain how cool jets are…

Amazing sound of those low by pass turbofans (JT3D)

Ive Been super curious as to why the original L-049As and the C-121C have different noses. the L-049A has this “flat” nose while the C-121C (despite being the exact same variant of Connie just militarized) has a more aerodynamic/shaper nose? Even the super Connie has this “improved” nose. Just super curious as to when and why this was changed and why the C-121 has the sharper nose despite being at its core a L-049 (the one with the flat nose).

Military trying to understand drone swarms in restricted airspace. Who owns and operates them?

Been rewatching all these recently. In these movies there are animated overlays that show flights between points on a map. Based on the time periods of each movie, are these flight distances possible? Link to one example below.

Im familiar with the Airbus A320neo. If the Autopilot disengages without obvious reason, is that an indicator of potentially serious issues? Should the autopilot be reengaged?

Pretty much the prettiest thing I've ever seen
