The November issue just dropped. 💥 It kicks off with an essay on remembrance appropriate for this time of year, triggered by the photo of this magnificent Lanc. Thence onwards to Avergreen, a new feature for viewing article photos and an adorable 🐸 little green frog. (📸 @goodnrg.bsky.social) | 🛩️ ⚔️ 🥇

Captain Flippie Vermeulen's Beech 18. There's no bad picture of this incredible plane. She has quite the story, too. She starred in the movie 'Amelia', playing the role of Earhart's Electra. She was abandoned in Africa after the loss of an engine and rescued by Capt. Vermeulen

The Matrix premiered 25 years ago today. (The Wachowskis' film was released on March 31)
To celebrate this sci-fi gem, I'm delighted to make available to everyone my oral history of the Matrix art department, without doubt the piece I'm most proud of.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

Model planes imitating life. (I know they are not the same plane, but I couldn't help but see the similar composition.) Model is a 1/200 LOT TU-154, real plane is A TU-134 at the Polish National Air Museum in Kraków

What you're looking at is an aprox 3 million dollar computer.
This is the FADEC module for a Pratt&Whitney PW1500 geared turbofan jet.
This is the brains that controls everything about the engine and also everything going to the aircraft about the engine.
It also weighs about 20kg.

Today's failed airliner is the precursor to one of the best selling commercial aircraft of all time: The DC-9!
The Model 2067 looked almost like a scaled down version of the DC-8 with 4 engines.
The twin version was one of 2 designs that lead to the final version we know today.

Why do I have the urge to construct a missle that will be sold to shady groups in the Middle East all of a sudden?

Time for my daily appreciation of failed airliner projects; today's edition: the DC-10 Twin a.k.a. the DC-X-200.
What you get when you lop off engine #3 of the DC-10 to try and compete with the A300/A310.
