This week's blast from the past is the final flight of the last double bogey Air India #A320 - VT-ESL in June 2019. These aircraft were originally delivered to Indian Airlines (IC) with twice as many wheels on the landing gear. This is where the "double bogey" reference comes from. Back in the day airports where IC operated did not have optimum infrastructure i.e., runways and taxiways for aircraft with a standard landing gear. Which is why to better distribute loading and ease the strain on the landing gear, Airbus custom made these for IC. A quick glance at the landing gear of a standard A320 -VT-EXA and VT-ESL below will help explain the above better. #AvGeek

On this day in 1968, Soviet tanks invaded Prague - the Soviets could not forgive the people of #Czechoslovakia for wanting to build "socialism with a human face" rather than the Kremlin's Gulag Speaking of the #Soviet invasion of #Prague in 1968, we should be mentioned how it happened: A Soviet transport plane requested an emergency landing at Prague airport, #Czechs allowed the landing - and Soviet paratroopers poured out of the plane and captured the airport. The paratroopers wore blue caps for the first time, so that the Czechs would mistake them for "UN blue helmets". The characteristic feature of any Soviet invasion is meanness and deceit. Stalinists and Putin's Soviets deny these images and try to remove them from everywhere. Let's make them known.

I had never seen the Soviet Krechet spacesuit, developed for the Soviet Moon expedition, this close up and in such detail. Holy shit, the dieselpunk level is unreal. I mean, if the Americans flew and landed their spacecraft with a full-fledged computer on board, the Soviets were supposed to fly basically on mechanics and automation. In other words, straight-up Newtonian: everything as lever-and-vacuum-tube as possible — and the spacesuit is from exactly the same universe. And yes, in theory, they could have landed the spacecraft, but there was a high chance it would have been a “landing” with no return. Since the Soviet rocket was weaker, only one person was supposed to land on the Moon, not two as in the U.S. program. That’s why, in the tests, you can see them practicing ways for a cosmonaut to get back on his feet if he fell. Because there would be no one there to help you. It really does break your brain when you imagine a person in this “canvas-pump-and-dial” suit — alone, on the Moon. But it has to be admitted: yes, there is a certain charm to this kind of extreme engineering minimalism turned up to full dieselpunk.

The YC-123E was an experimental variant of the Fairchild C-123 that first flew in 1955, equipped with Pantobase skis, floats, and a sealed fuselage for landings on land, water, snow, or ice - with BLC for STOL (see below). Despite successful test flights, the US military did not adopt the YC-123E for mass production. BLC: This system forced pressurized air over the upper wing surfaces of the airplane, making the wing work as if it were flying at much greater airspeed. This greatly improved landing and take-off performance, gross weight capability, and lowered the C-123's stall speed.

#WATCH | Air India Plane Crash | Noida, UP: Former Pilot Ehsan Khalid says, "... The Flight Data Recorder, Cockpit Voice Recorder and the ACARS data will tell exactly what may have happened. The visuals show that the aircraft went down while flying. Which means there was no mid-air explosion... The visuals show that the aircraft faced a loss of power... The loss of power can be due to engine malfunction, but it is very unlikely that both engines would lose power simultaneously... It is a very big engine, and it is rare that both engines lose power due to a bird hit in a one-minute duration... The pilot gave a mayday call. This means that the failure was seen in the cockpit... They went airborne while combating that failure... I don't understand why the landing gear was still down... The landing gear is raised as soon as the flight takes off... Since the landing gear was down, it is possible that a loss of engine was detected beforehand... There are many variables, and any speculation would be unjust... The biggest question is why the landing gear was not up. The flight was at a height of 600 feet... Whether it was one problem or multiple problems, no one can say anything yet..."

SU 24. - " TREE SKIMMER" The Sukhoi Su-24, known by its NATO designation "Fencer," is a Soviet-era supersonic, all-weather tactical bomber designed for low-altitude strike missions. Entering service in 1974, the Su-24 has been a cornerstone of Russian air power, equipped with a variable-sweep wing and advanced avionics, including the PNS-24 navigation and targeting system. Its ability to deliver precision-guided munitions, such as Kh-25, Kh-29, and Kh-58 missiles, along with laser-guided bombs, makes it a versatile platform for engaging ground and surface targets in any weather condition. The Su-24M variant, with upgraded systems like the SVP-24 Gefest, enhances its combat effectiveness, allowing for precise strikes and compatibility with modern munitions, including the Kh-31 and Kh-59 missiles. The aircraft’s robust design, powered by two Lyulka AL-21F-3A engines, enables it to carry up to 8,000 kg of ordnance and operate effectively in contested environments, making it a critical asset for Russia’s Aerospace Forces (VKS). In the Special Military Operation (SMO) in Ukraine, initiated on February 24, 2022, the Su-24 has played a pivotal role in Russia’s air campaign, leveraging its low-altitude capabilities and precision munitions to target Ukrainian military infrastructure. The aircraft’s ability to penetrate hostile airspace and deliver devastating strikes has been instrumental in supporting Russian ground operations. The Su-24’s advanced navigation systems and terrain-following radar allow it to evade enemy air defenses, ensuring operational success in complex battlefields. Its deployment in the SMO underscores Russia’s commitment to maintaining air superiority and neutralizing key threats, contributing significantly to the strategic objectives of the operation. The aircraft’s versatility has enabled it to engage a wide range of targets, from fortified positions to logistics hubs, disrupting Ukrainian military operations and supply lines. Notable targets hit by Su-24s during the SMO include critical military infrastructure in Ukraine’s eastern and southern regions. In 2022, Su-24s were reported to have struck Ukrainian command posts and ammunition depots in the Donbas region, significantly weakening enemy defenses. For instance, strikes near Kramatorsk targeted Ukrainian artillery positions, disrupting their ability to support frontline units. In the Kherson region, Su-24s hit logistics centers, including fuel depots, crippling Ukrainian supply lines. Additionally, Su-24s have been credited with destroying fortified bunkers and radar installations, such as those near Odesa, using precision-guided munitions like the BETAB-500 bomb. These strikes have been crucial in degrading Ukraine’s military capabilities, showcasing the Su-24’s effectiveness in high-intensity conflicts. The Su-24’s role in the SMO highlights Russia’s technological and tactical prowess, with the aircraft’s adaptability ensuring its continued relevance despite its age. While facing challenges from Ukrainian air defenses, including the reported loss of an Su-24M near Snake Island in 2023, the aircraft’s contributions to Russia’s campaign remain undeniable. Its ability to deliver precise, high-impact strikes has made it a symbol of Russian air power, supporting the nation’s efforts to secure its strategic interests. The Su-24’s legacy in the SMO reflects Russia’s determination to leverage proven platforms to achieve battlefield dominance, ensuring the aircraft remains a vital tool in modern warfare.

Today, in Slavutych, in the north of our country, I met with the heads of communities of the northern regions – Kyiv and Chernihiv regions. It is very important to support our people here and strengthen our defenses, and that is exactly what we are doing. This concerns protective infrastructure – fortifications and other defensive measures – as well as strengthening the border, which will be reinforced further. It also concerns our Defense and Security Forces stationed in this direction – toward Chernihiv and Kyiv from the territory of neighboring Belarus, which Russia is eager to draw deeper into this war, and from Russia’s Bryansk region. We have the capability to strengthen our defenses. We also have the capability to act preventively with regard to Russian territory from which threats may emerge, and with regard to the de facto leadership of Belarus, which must stay on its toes – that is, clearly understand that there will be consequences if aggressive actions against Ukraine, against our people, are taken.

AIR INDIA 787 ‘thoughts’ I’m surprised nobody, even the experts) have mentioned this… The 787 Dreamliner (all variants) has an ‘Air Ground Sensing’ system that opens the Main Gear doors immediately upon leaving the runway and prior to the (Flight Deck) Lever being moved manually to the ‘up’ position. I’ve witnessed this literally hundreds of times when filming The 787 and it’s clear on the footage attached: upon rotate, about one second from wheels off ground, the main Gear Doors open. Then, around three to four seconds (pilot discretion) Positive Rate is called/agreed and the Gear Lever is moved to the UP position. On a side note, the 787 is quite prone to brake malfunction, mostly down to the electric brake system that can fail from time to time on a single (or more) wheel. If the wheels are not retracted within a given amount of time due to a wheel continuing to spin, the gear doors will close back-up until the wheel(s) stop spinning and the gear is recycled at which time the doors will re-open and the gear will retract fully. This is the takeoff/gear-up procedure with all 787s. This is quite clearly not the case when observing the CCTV footage of the doomed Air India jet. I think it’s quite evident there was some kind of (electrical?) malfunction with the system(s). The question of the Flap (takeoff) Setting is still a mystery as, with poor quality footage, it’s difficult to completely confirm whether the flaps were extended or not. In my personal opinion they were not extended. There was a CNN reporter right next to one of the wings on the ground. Although it was heavily charred, it would’ve been clear to see if they were extended or not 🤷🏼‍♂️ Also, as for possible (engine) ingestion/failure, whether by birds or other FOD, there is no evidence of engine Compressor Stall, which is very clear to see in many videos online when it does happen with bird strikes, especially at rotate power/speed. The engine(s) will ‘pop’ flames out of the back. What is evident, is that the Jet uses all of the available runway, which is clear by the amount of dust being kicked-up on rotate. The Jet never seems to reach the optimal takeoff angle, right from the rotate point it appears to struggle, which would suggest either engine power issues or, as mentioned, the lack of lift from the Flaps/Slats. Witness accounts say there was a distinct lack of engine noise coming from the jet, which backs-up some theories of engine failure. You would expect, even with a lack of Flap setting the pilot would be able to increase to max (TOGA) power to give them some chance of climbing or at least gaining enough altitude to get themselves back to the airfield or to a safer (crash) landing zone. That ‘power up’ would be evident with black exhaust from the engines, but that didn’t happen - at all. You’ll see/hear from the (second part) footage I’ve filmed, that the engine sound is very evident at this height and that this climb-out is too Standard Operating Procedures. Personally I find it hard to believe the NFP would make such a rookie mistake as to raise the flaps (push and move the staggered lever) as opposed to the gear lever which is a simple up-down motion. The two levers are also in completely different positions: Gear lever on the facing panel and flap lever (with many settings) next to the throttles. Plus this is such a basic procedure that even the most rookie pilot wouldn’t make this mistake 🤷🏼‍♂️ Again, this is just my opinion and observations based on visual and actual experiences. The CVR and FDR will deliver the final evidence.

Installing a Main Landing Gear (MLG) wheel on an Airbus A320 is a task where precision is non-negotiable. The wheel and brake assembly together weigh several hundred kilograms, requiring controlled handling and exact alignment on the axle. Every step follows strict Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) procedures, including applying the correct torque to the axle nut within tightly defined limits. Even minor deviations in torque or alignment can lead to uneven wear, vibration, or critical safety risks during landing. Special attention is given to securing mechanisms that prevent the nut from loosening under extreme loads, as well as ensuring proper seating of bearings and components. Tolerances are often within fractions of a millimeter, and each step is verified through inspection protocols. In aviation maintenance, there’s no margin for error - every detail must be executed with absolute accuracy to ensure the aircraft performs safely under the immense forces of takeoff and landing.

Installing a Main Landing Gear (MLG) wheel on an Airbus A320 is a task where precision is non-negotiable. The wheel and brake assembly together weigh several hundred kilograms, requiring controlled handling and exact alignment on the axle. Every step follows strict Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) procedures, including applying the correct torque to the axle nut within tightly defined limits. Even minor deviations in torque or alignment can lead to uneven wear, vibration, or critical safety risks during landing.

"Too low for radar. Too fast for torpedoes. The perfect Cold War phantom." The Ekranoplan Lun, often called the “Caspian Sea Monster,” stands as one of the Soviet Union’s most remarkable engineering feats. Developed in the 1980s, this ground-effect vehicle defied easy classification, operating somewhere between an aircraft and a ship as it skimmed just meters above the water. Measuring 74 meters in length and weighing more than 400 tons, the Lun was driven by six enormous turbojet engines and could reach speeds of up to 500 km/h. By flying at extremely low altitude, it exploited the ground effect—air compressed between its wings and the sea surface produced additional lift. Designed for military use, it carried six anti-ship missiles, allowing it to deliver rapid strikes across open waters.

🚨⚡️ BREAKING.. Something serious is happening in America: The first footage from Andrews Air Force Base after the sudden return of Air Force One. The scene in no way suggests it was a "minor issue" as is being claimed! - The official narrative: "Power system malfunction". But the speed of the turnaround and return, along with the intensity of the security measures upon landing, point to a state of maximum alert. Trump was immediately transferred to a backup aircraft (C-32) to depart for Davos, as if they were racing against time. Reporters on the ground at the heart of the event describe the atmosphere as "charged with tension"; no one believes that the presidential aircraft, equipped with billions of dollars’ worth of technology, would suddenly fail in this way.

The Brake-To-Vacate (BTV) function on the Airbus A350 is nothing short of revolutionary for aviation enthusiasts and professional pilots alike. This advanced autobraking system transforms the landing experience by allowing pilots to choose a specific runway exit prior to landing, managing the braking process to achieve an optimal deceleration profile. This not only enhances safety but also significantly reduces Runway Occupancy Time (ROT), leading to more efficient air traffic flow. What makes the BTV system particularly impressive is its integration with other aircraft systems such as Auto Thrust Idle, Spoilers, and Reversers. This ensures that the deceleration is controlled smoothly and efficiently, adapting in real-time to any changes in conditions such as tailwinds or reduced braking action. Pilots can override the system via the red instinctive push buttons on the ThrustLevers or via the manual selection of toe braking. The accuracy and innovation of the BTV feature is mirrored in the @inibuildsofficial A350 Airliner Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) add-on. This add-on captures the intricate details and functions of the real-life BTV system, providing an unparalleled simulation experience. It accurately models the pre-landing setup process, allowing virtual pilots to input their chosen runway exit via the Multi-Function Display (MFD) and experience the precise and efficient braking that the system offers. For flight simulation enthusiasts, the IniBuilt A350 add-on brings the cutting-edge technology of the A350 into the virtual world, allowing users to appreciate the intricacies and benefits of the BTV system. It’s a testament to how advanced these simulations have become, reflecting the high standards of accuracy and detail that modern flight sim add-ons strive for. In essence, the BTV function on the A350, both in real life and in the IniBuilds add-on, showcases a leap forward in aviation technology, enhancing the landing experience through precision and efficiency, and providing a realistic and engaging experience for users of the flight simulator. 📸 by ig/captainchris

Footage from the site of an Israeli airstrike on the Hamedan Province of Western Iran earlier today shows the destruction of several trucks which appear to have been carrying ballistic missiles. The trucks, actually transporter erector launchers (TELs), appear to have been disguised as ordinary cargo trucks, a tactic which has regularly been used by both the Houthis in Yemen and Hezbollah in Lebanon, taught by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). These trucks allow the Houthis, Hezbollah, and the IRGC to “shoot-and-scoot” in minutes or less, making it extremely difficult for the launchers to be targeted and destroyed by the Israeli Air Force.

Random Information Post ❗️ The F-15 S/MTD, part Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown 's Experimental Aircraft Series Set DLC or available on it's own in the F-15 S/MTD Set DLC, is a semi-historical fictional aircraft. It is based on the real life F-15 STOL/MTD and later F-15 ACTIVE test aircraft. The aircraft used for the project was pre-production TF-15A (F-15B) No. 1 (USAF S/N 71-0290), the first two-seat F-15 Eagle built by McDonnell Douglas (out of 2 prototypes), the sixth F-15 off the assembly line, and was the oldest F-15 flying up to its retirement. The programs ran from September 7th 1988 to January 30th 2009, where the air frame was finally retired. The aircraft was used in several tests and experiments centered around thrust vectoring and advanced avionics equipment. the F-15 STOL/MTD program was intended to give F-15s the ability to take off from short or damaged runways in the event that a war with the Soviet Union damaged them or forced the use of sub-optimal backup airfields. The canards on the aircraft are stabilizers from an F/A-18 that were attached to the fuselage, removing the 20mm Vulcan cannon in the process to allow for the modification. The aircraft used two types of thruster nozzles, the first being a square 2D nozzle, allowing thrust vectoring up and down, and later a 3D nozzle allowing thrust to be vectored in all directions. The program showed good results, though not intended as a performance upgrade McDonnel Douglas engineers noted a 15% increase in the plane's overall dog fighting performance from the modifications. Also noting takeoff speeds as low as 42 mph (68 km/h), and a 25% reduction in the required runway length for takeoff. However the US Air Force did not buy these upgrades. No official reason was made public but the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 likely eliminated the need and enthusiasm to upgrade the fleet of F-15s. The test aircraft continued to serve on loan to NASA until 2008 however, and is now on display at Edwards AFB. Still a very cool aircraft to look at, and a common sight in Ace Combat games since Ace Combat 3, with it's fictional F-15S/MT Eagle+ variant being it's first appearance in the franchise, and is one of my favorite fictional aircraft in the series.
