Santa came a little early this year, after a super rare to the Americas Harbin Y-12 visited Vancouver YVR today.

It is on the way to Chile, having begun its journey in Harbin, China 16 days ago (according to @flightradar24.com). Since then it's gone HRB>BQS>YKS>GDX>DYR>TLA>ANC>JNU> and now YVR. 1/

Godspeed to New Pacific, aka Northern Pacific, which finally ran out of reinventions.

The airline has been a charter only operator since the spring of 2024, after calming it quits on short lived commercial service.

2/3rds of its 3-strong B757 fleet made the trek to the boneyard today.

Two things can be true:

You should not take off your shoes and put your feet on the chair ahead of you.

Looking to crowd source some new airplane adventures for 2026, especially ones that involve unusual aircraft.

Only requirement is that it has to be scheduled, more or less. Charters and scenics don’t count.

What’s out there, especially in North America?

Barring any last minute changes, my year in flying is wrapping up unexpectedly early this year.

Not a bad run, but crossing my fingers for that last minute change in plans

Crumby photo through a crumby B763 window, but still cool to see a few long retired Ethiopian Airlines DC3's in Addis, 2011.

The carrier operated a post-War fleet of C47s and DC3s into the 1990s.

Every few weeks we gotta make posts like this”call your dem reps to tell them to not vote to allow Lord Killdude to shove people into a volcano” and then the dem reps go “we’ve made an amazing deal where Lord Killdude can have his volcano so long as he promises not to shove people into it”
