A few shots from today’s Japanese festival here in Boston. Japan airlines is teaching you how to make paper airplanes, showing off models, and will teach you how to taxi a 787.

We went to the Sale airshow in beautiful Gippsland yesterday, took some photos in between watching the show.

Found a model of this plane, in the military museum on site.

Man the Midwest has been hammered today with tornadoes. At Omaha’s Eppley Airfield (KOMA), what looks like at least four rows of T-Hangers took a direct hit from an EF2, and wiped dozens of airplanes off the FAA registry. Man I am sad for the owners, no idea if there were injuries.

Screengrabs from #wunderground, just look at the tornado warnings!

Boeing whistleblower says 787 Dreamliner could 'fall apart' in midair

> Ahead of his testimony before the Senate Wednesday, #Boeing engineer #SamSalehpour gave an interview to NBC News once again sounding the alarm about issues he found with Boeing’s #787 Dreamliner plane. He alleges that the model has fuselage flaws that could cause it to rip apart mid-air due to problems with how the metal skin is affixed to the rest of the aircraft.
