STARLINK: British Airways has revealed that its first aircraft fitted with Starlink is a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with registration G-ZBJJ. It is currently in flight as BA197 from London Heathrow to Houston, Texas; the first BA commercial flight with Starlink! It departed London around 3:25 p.m. GMT, and should arrive in Houston around 9 p.m. CST. Per British Airways CEO Sean Doyle, "The roll out of Starlink is making excellent progress... This is a complex and highly-skilled upgrade to our fleet, and I want to thank all our teams who are working hard to make this possible. I know our customers will be looking forward to using this service soon." Kudos to BA making the service free for all passengers in every cabin. Starlink is complimentary, gate-to-gate, with no extra charges for streaming, working, or connecting on multiple devices.

🚨🇺🇸 Boeing announces a milestone for the U.S. Navy: the first operational MQ-25A Stingray has completed autonomous taxi tests, paving the way for unmanned carrier operations. Built to refuel Navy jets mid air, the MQ-25A will extend the range of F-35C fighters, with its maiden flight slated for early 2026. A major step toward the next generation of carrier based warfare.

🚨🇺🇸MID-FLIGHT CHAOS: PASSENGER RESTRAINED AFTER CRACKING PLANE WINDOW A Frontier Airlines flight from Denver to Houston turned chaotic when a passenger began punching seats, then kicked a window, cracking its interior panel. Passenger Victoria Clark: "I was freaking out. Tears. Screaming for help." With flight attendants unresponsive, several male passengers, including Clark’s fiancé, used shoelaces and flex cuffs to restrain the man for over an hour. The plane landed safely at Bush Intercontinental Airport. Frontier Airlines has opted not to press charges, but the FBI is now investigating. Source: KHOU

🇺🇸 SPACEX JUST COMPLETED ITS 100TH STARLINK LAUNCH OF THE YEAR A Falcon 9 rocket lifted just off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, sending 28 more Starlink satellites into orbit and officially marking SpaceX’s 100th Starlink launch of 2025. Each of these missions adds to a massive satellite network that’s delivering internet from space to users around the globe, from NYC to the most remote spots on Earth. SpaceX is making it look easy, but building a space-based internet system at this scale is something no one else has even come close to pulling off. Source: Black Hole

AIRBUS A320 FIRST FLIGHT ANNIVERSARY On this day, 22 February 1987, the first Airbus A320 — MSN 001 (F-WWAI) — took to the skies from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport for its 3.5-hour maiden flight. Unveiled just days earlier on 14 February 1987 in Toulouse, the A320-100 prototype was powered by CFM56-5 engines and became the first commercial airliner with fully digital fly-by-wire controls and sidesticks — a revolutionary advance in cockpit design. It received its type certificate on 28 February 1988, and by April 1988 Air France and British Airways had begun regular operations. Fast forward 39 years, and the A320 family has officially surpassed the Boeing 737 as the most-produced commercial jet in history.

🚨 JUST IN: 15 minutes after takeoff from Houston to Atlanta, chaos erupts mid-air. A man reportedly starts throwing punches at passengers — landing multiple blows — then turns on women and children before charging toward the cockpit screaming he needs to “talk to the pilot.” Passengers and crew tackle him in the aisle and restrain him. Delta says he never breached the flight deck. Houston police detained him at the gate. What is going on with these planes lately?! 🇺🇸 ⬇️
