Whilst I was a teenager I bemoaned how little autonomy I had compared with my earlier peers, but *God*, I got lucky not to be a teenager now.
State-sanctioned arrested development. You're 8 until you're 18 then you're expected to be able to handle all of adult life overnight.

Tired of the incessant need for some to proclaim their 'intelligence' and say 'it's all clickbait' pointing at a 2wk old NOTAM as proof that nothing unusual is up, despite aircraft rushing to depart with low vis waivers + confirmation via DoD sources of increased security levels

Patrick Stewart. Turned up so early and so unobtrusively to be a star in the reasonably priced car, we mistook him for a delivery driver and asked him to go round the back. Took his hat off and said, “But I’m the captain of the Enterprise”. Fucking nice guy.

I know there are many great journalists, who I respect and imagine have a great output, involved in it, but this really is not a great advert for Sky's Defence Insider 😶
While aboard USS George Washington, @Stone_SkyNews calls Michael Clarke to test his knowledge of US military equipment.

Underrated pro of MacOS for photographers and anyone who works with external storage: drives defined by name, not letters. No matter how many times I assigned permanent letters in Windows it would eventually change and Lightroom couldn't find the files. On Mac that never happens.

Imagine being a high level government official cheering on the bombing of a country and the killing of individuals over a Signal chat, and then seeing:
"Jeff Goldberg left the group."
The chat has finally been officially released to me by ODNI in response to my #FOIA request.

So past few days of the aero/space news firehose:
Terror plot at RAF Fairford
Starship flight 14
A350F first flight
F/A-XX awarded
Flightdeck punch-up and alleged pilot suicide(?) on flyDubai averted
Petition to slow news down to allow some of us to catch our breath...
Airspace around Whelford is now restricted out to 4 nautical miles and 9,500 feet, so no more news helicopter coverage. I'm publishing regular updates for @TheAviationist here: theaviationist.com/2026/09/2…

Scoop: There will soon be a new operator of Boeing's 737 MAX---the U.S. Air Force.
The service is going ahead with buying a MAX for its C-40 fleet and starting to train current 737 pilots to operate the new variant.

The absence of an accident doesn’t mean you were operating safely, it can just mean that you got away with it this time. Being safe is about stacking all the odds in your favour, not eroding them and trusting to luck. And experience isn’t a cheat code, it teaches you the above.
The two aircraft were flown by highly-experienced crew, with each comprised of three senior captains operating in the roles of commander, co-pilot and safety/technical officer.
The flight data recorded by both aircraft confirms that the flights were performed within the SACAA’s approved and rehearsed safety altitude and speed limits for the flypast.
