Avgeeks & Aviation

Sup, #avgeeks? I made a @graze.social feed to try and track posts for #aviation news, liveries, spotting, etc. Check it out, pass it around. It's been made in the past hour so may not have a ton of information in it. I'll do some tweaking over the next few days. #adsb #planespotting #DCA #flight

The alt text was a forgotten by accident. Normally add it..

Is there a way to do that in other browsers for anyone that doesn’t have edge?

A380 upper deck MUC-LAX, on 7 September 2019. I'm not sure that was broadcast to the ground rather than just in the cabin, but there was definitely a TV studio on board.

Ok I’ll just keep doing what I do, I’m confident I’m doing my part and not driving people away from the cause of a better world. Because that all this stupid behaviour does.

So campaigning internally to find ways to use less fuel, to use sustainable fuel, to be more efficient in planning and eliminating holding that’s not doing nothing. Ok if that’s nothing then we should all give up trying then.. it’s the small changes that make the biggest difference.

Yeah I am, but instead of throwing stones from the outside and archiving nothing other than entrenching views I’m changing things from the inside… thats the way we change things, otherwise all you do is drive people away.

I am, and proud of it… but instead of throwing stones from the outside changing nothing I’m changing things for the better from the inside…

Ah… It’s worth looking to see if you can see an old nhs number back from childhood. Maybe look on the app or ask to see your records (they have to provide them by law)

The 'Command Optics' subsystems handled the initial CLOS phase: "… "Command Optics" to cover our novel Temporal Mode Laser Optics (TMLO) and our novel Missile Tracker Zoom (MTZ) devices, which are combined essentially into a single package." (same source)

The reason for the initial CLOS phase (using the IR signature of the motor plume instead of a beacon) was to guide before the minimum smoke motor burned out. Laser beam riding, unobstructed by the motor plume, took over for the non-powered stage. 🔗📷 worldwide.espacenet.com/p….

🧵 ADATS (Oerlikon-Martin Marrieta MIM-146 Air Defense Anti-Tank System) is quite interesting in many ways. For example, guidance begins with a spatially-coded laser Command to Line Of Sight (CLOS) stage, then switches to a spatially-coded laser beam riding phase. 🔗📷 www.google.gr/books/editio...

This is the patent for the 'Command Optics' "optical system utilized to provide guidance information in the form of a modulated beam for a beamrider missile during its rocket powered flight phase" 🔗📷📑 worldwide.espacenet.com/p….

Same

🙄 then so is using a smart device powered by a data centre…

Did you get a new NHS number when you updated your records or did they just update your old one? Wondering if it’s limited to those that updated and didn’t get a new number, either way worth checking when I go in next…

It’s to poke the fun out of the Mini mega’d with their Trump worship… make their slogan mean something they hate.

Not forgetting a Cymru version..

The previous airport closure alert at SAN has been closed. #AvGeek

Something newer then. For your viewing pleasure. bsky.app/profile/baa4...
