My personal favourite this year is Airbus' Racer. It's a clever design that seems to hold what it promised.

Nice find here by @twz.com of an unidentified PLAAF large flying wing aircraft. The geometry screams ISR/recon, but speculative. The two biggest questions are whether its crewed or uncrewed and what its operational (vs experimental) status is. www.twz.com/air/massive-...

Suggestion re horrific 787 crash in India: No one has any clear idea of what exactly went wrong, at this point. Engines /flaps /gas /settings /landing gear /electronics /mx /pilots /Boeing /etc All that's known now is a huge number of people were killed. Zero value in (public) guesswork. RIP

Ok KMSN area pilots, you can blame me for the bad weather. I planned to fly to ARV today and return Sunday. Then fly on Monday to see a friend. Then for work on Tuesday. Then a Student on Wednesday. Sorry for making it rain. I will try to use aviation less in the future to have better weather.

Rural broadband is a huge issue. Fiber is the best way to solve it for the long-term. Technologies, such as Starlink are good for the short term, but we really need fiber out there.
