Tower A terminal facility that uses air/ground communications, visual signaling, and other devices to provide ATC services to aircraft operating in the vicinity of an airport or on the movement area. Authorizes aircraft to land or takeoff at the airport controlled by the tower or to transit the Class D airspace area regardless of flight plan or weather conditions (IFR or VFR). A tower may also provide approach control services (radar or nonradar).
Aero Linx: Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA) The Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association is a craft specific, independent aviation union. It is not an industrial union and represents only aircraft maintenance technicians/engneers and skilled trade employees actively involved in the aviation industry. These employees work directly on aircraft and/or components, support equipment, and facilities in accordance with the National Mediation Board (NMB) or the Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) dictates. AMFA is committed to elevating the professional standing of technicians/engineers and to achieving progressive improvements in the wages, benefits, and working conditions of the skilled professionals it represents.
The Total Duration Of The Flight Was About 30 Seconds On April 19, 2026, about 0834 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 401B, N122AT, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Land O’ Lakes, Florida.

From 2023 (YouTube Edition): A Bone to Chew Envisioned in the 1960s as a platform that would combine the Mach 2 speed of Convair’s sexy but temperamental B-58 Hustler with the range and payload of Boeing’s rock-steady B-52 Stratofortress, Rockwell’s B-1 Lancer was meant to ultimately replace both aircraft. Following a long series of studies, Rockwell International (now part of Boeing) prevailed—besting Boeing, General Dynamics, and North American—in the U.S. Air Force’s Advanced Manned Strategic Aircraft (AMSA) design contest, submitting a concept that would, years later, emerge into the Cold War world as the B-1A.
From 2023 (YouTube Edition): Very Cool and Highly Collectable An offshoot of MotoArt, the first and only concern to handcraft one-of-a-kind articles of furniture from the salvaged structures and components of decommissioned aircraft, PlaneTags is an ever-broadening line of aviation mementos fashioned—hand-cut, stamped, shaped, and individually etched—from the skins of retired aircraft. Cognizant of the innumerable stories preserved figuratively and literally throughout the forlorn carcasses of once-proud aircraft relegated to the world’s boneyards, PlaneTags’s personnel scour the globe in perpetuity, seeking out and salvaging vintage military and commercial aircraft.

During my two-part birthday trip to the Golden Triangle, I checked out four different hotels in Bangkok, given that it’s one of the world’s best value cities for luxury hotels, and the market keeps getting better (separately, I’m reviewing the Rosewood Bangkok, Four Seasons Bangkok, and Aman Bangkok). In this installment, I’d like to review the 101-key Capella Bangkok, which opened back in 2020. I was very excited about this stay for a few reasons: I made my first stay at a Capella property earlier this year (at the Capella Taipei), and I now absolutely love this brand; I actually think…
