So i present to you the famous 080 review and how to access it( I am tagging you guys so #avgeeks and #ccgeeks can come prepared to access the lounge)
So 1st let's talk about the lounge situation at @BLRAirport
Terminal 1 at BLR has 2 lounges
BLR lounge which is accessible by almost all credit cards and many debit cards and is crowded with people (seen in the image)and the other premium 080 lounge accessible by selected cards

080 can be accessed by amex cards or cards with a visa lounge program ( in axis only magnus and reserve works) , a few cards that can be used are ( most SBI cards, AU cards, IDFC cards except classic, indusind visa cards ,etc) you can also access by j class or by vistara gold
#USNavy #USAF #avgeeks #aviationlovers - NATF-22? Yes, there could have been a navalized F-22 stealth a la F-14 Tomcat with swing wings, Mach 2.25 supercruise, heavier landing gear, and so much more. So why did the US Navy opt for the F-18 and F-35 instead? I'll tell you... 1/
2/ Congress wanted the NATF-22 but the US Navy pushed back. The swing wings would have compromised stealth and added to the maintenance woes. As it was, the F-14 was already far too expensive especially in the absence of the #USSR's military, which is why the F-14 was retired.
3/ The naval F-22, aka Sea Raptor, would have been slower than the F-14 and cost more. The F-22's unit cost was, ballpark, $138 million. A navalized one surely would have cost at least 20% more based on F-14 vs F-15 costs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_…
#USAF #avgeek #aviation #avgeeks - The SR-71 is the world's fastest jet airplane and air-breathing airplane. I only recently realized THIS SPECIFIC SR-71 at Warner Robins Museum of Aviation @MOAatRAFB IS THE WORLD'S FASTEST JET AIRPLANE* EVER!!! 1/
@MOAatRAFB 2/ In 1965, SR-71 Blackbird, S/N 61-7958, was the #USAF's 1st production model SR-71. On July 27, 1976, for the Bicentennial, Capt. Pat Blesdoe and Maj. John Fuller rocketed her at 2,092 mph in a 1,000-km closed-course loop... @Sylvia70485099 @kadonkey

La norme pour les avions de ligne, c’est un plan d’approche de 3° avec un touché des roues à 300m du seuil de piste.
Les normes imposent donc des marges qui sont nécessaires pour la sécurité des vols.
Pas de marges = pas de sécurité. ⚠️
Ici, les marges sont nulles, donc…

… la sécurité est nulle ‼️
La moindre erreur de pilotage, le moindre imprévu, et c’est un touché avant la piste avec risque de destruction de l’avion (effacement du train d’atterrissage) et de blessés / morts.
Ce n’est donc pas une preuve d’habileté, mais d’inconscience.

Ça faisait longtemps que je n’avais pas parlé d’un de mes vols…
Alors voici un petit #thread de ma dernière rotation sur #Houston ⬇️

Je vais commencer par un petit bilan carbone de ce vol : le plein de passagers et pas mal de fret (17T) pendant 9h45 de vol nous coutent 44T5 de carburant.
Ça équivaut à 1,75 litres / 100 km / équivalent passager ou un total de 377 Kg de CO2 par passager. 😎

On the night of Feb 5, 1991, Col. Tom Lennon, commander of #USAF's 48th FW, led a pair of F-111s on an experimental mission against dug-in units of the #Iraqi Republican Guard in the deserts north of Kuwait. 2/8 #avgeeks #aviation #DesertStorm #History
For the experiment, each F-111 was armed with a Pave Track pod and four GBU-12 500 lb LGBs. The crews were to see if LGBs could be guided accurately enough to hit targets as small as an AFV. 3/8 #avgeeks #aviation #USAF #DesertStorm #History
1/72 RAF Nimrod R1(P) - modelled (roughly!) on the Cosford (formerly Waddington) Nimrod - this kit has been in my stash for some time. @Airfix #airfix #nimrod #avgeek #avgeeks #pilot #aviation
Overall this was quite a nice kit with minimal filler. Quite a few errors and inaccuracies (gear config and windows - got me..)
I took some artistic licence and added some minor modifications just because it pleased me to do so..

The R1 was a secretive ISTAR aircraft - its role and capabilities largely remain classified . The aircraft was still very capable when it retired, and it was replaced, ironically, by the Boeing Rivet Joint salvaged from the desert boneyard!

#Throwback to when 🇻🇪 Venezuela showcased it's first light trainer aircrafts: the Simón Bolívar 100 and 200 (SIBO 100/200), which are locally built 🇮🇷 Iranian Fajr F.3-B and Fajr F.20. #avgeeks
The Fajr F.3-A/B is an all-composite 4-seater single-engine piston aircraft intended for pilot training and light transport. It is powered by a 🇺🇸 Lycoming AEIO-540-L1B5 6-cylinder piston engine (300 hp/220 kW) with a 3-blade 🇩🇪 Hoffmann propeller. The -A has a fixed landing...
...gear while the -B has a retractable one. The flap system is of Fowler-type and the use of composites for the Fajr F.3 structure has increased the overall strength while reducing weight. An emergency gear extension system has been installed in addition to the main extension.
Understanding the Flight Fare Breakup for your airline ticket : A Basic Knowledge that everyone should know.

#AvGeek #Avgeeks #indianmilesguide
A/C to rules governing airfare – Rule 135(2) of the aircraft rules 1937 states that airlines must show a consolidate or single fare amount along with its clear breakup in form of– taxes, fees and other charges for the knowledge and convenience of the passengers.
#indianmilesguide
#indianmilesguide
Now let's understand each components of airfare breakup in simple manner.
1. Base Fare: It's the amount on the air ticket before addition of fees, taxes and surcharges.
2. Passenger Services Fees (WO) : It's to cover security and facilitation at all AAI & private airports.

So for #TyphoonTuesday today, I'm going to expand on the 'kick in the balls' analogy I used in Saturday's Mortain thread.
Because accuracy and effectiveness are variables as Close Air Support and Interdiction do slightly different things. #WW2 #History #avgeeks #thread /1
Because accuracy and effectiveness are variables as Close Air Support and Interdiction do slightly different things. #WW2 #History #avgeeks #thread /1
So let's look at Close Air Support (CAS).
The Army have a love/hate relationship with this as there is a high chance of friendly fire and finding a target from the air is rather tricky. So, let's think of the battlefield as the school playground.
The bully is the Germans. /2

The bully is making a nuisance of himself. So you look to your mates and find a fast one with more bravery than sense, they are your Air Support.
They race up and get a good shot into the Bully's 'vulnerable areas'. They may get two, but the Bully is staggered. /3

Bonjour les #Avgeeks
Aujourd’hui, retour de Atlanta et expérimentation de nouvelles procédures de contrôle aérien. Une des conséquences, c’est que l’on a retardé notre début de descente et que les moteurs sont restés au ralenti du FL280 (8500m) jusqu’à 1000 Ft en finale (300m)

C’est du bruit en moins pour les riverains et une consommation carburant plus faible. Si c’était appliqué à tous les vols, l’impact économique et environnemental serait énorme. Ca fait partie des améliorations à venir dans l’industrie qui limiteront la pollution sonore et CO2.
Je rajoute que la procédure prévoit normalement de passer le point MOPAR (Gisors) entre le FL110 et 120, puis Creil au FL110. Soit 30 Nm de vol en palier... durant lesquelles les départ vers le nord sont bloqués au FL100 pour assurer la séparation.
We summarize here data concerning the acquisition of 18 @Dassault_OnAir #Rafale F3s for #HellenicAirForce:

[#THREAD] Alors que le 8 novembre prochain, #AirFrance sera la dernière compagnie aérienne à décoller de l'aéroport mythique de #Berlin #Tegel avant sa fermeture, (après avoir été la première à s'y poser en 1960), voici un rappel des grandes dates d'Air France à TXL ! #avgeeks
Le 2 janvier 1960, pour la première fois, un avion civil, le Lockheed Constellation F-BAZK d'#AirFrance, atterrit à #Berlin-#Tegel.
La compagnie aérienne française ouvre ainsi des opérations régulières sur l'aéroport, qui était jusqu'à présent utilisé à des fins militaires.

I just filmed it landing in Kyiv Boryspil.
Moved to the other side of the terminal to catch a bus leaving the vicinity of the Tu-204, accompanied by a black SUV.
Could not see if anyone entered or exited the bus. Several people around the plane.

By the mid 1800's #RAFLuton had so many Display Teams it gave one of it's Runway Boats to the teams for their world tour, covering over 3 countries the teams displayed to a record 1017 #AvGeeks!
Unfortunately after an accident during a formation landing the world tour was stopped and the remaining teams returned to #RAFLuton. This was the last photo taken of the Phantom aircraft seconds before they landed on the Runway Boat hitting the Chinook #AvGeek
After the Formation landing disaster of 1861 the #RAFLuton Navy wanted in on the Display Team action and formed The Runway Boats, the average display lasted over 4 days! Here they can be seen in their famous Triangle formation!
