Just did my first cross country (120nm) #flight at night in #VFR! KORL to KOCF back to KORL.
Most important lesson I learned? Don't #fly at night under visual flight rules. I should wait until I get my instrument rating if I want to fly at night.
We were driving on a back road into town when we saw four vultures perched on a fence. I had the "wrong" lens for a great capture, but I love the essence of this one as he took off towards the trees. I think vultures are very cool birds.
NASA's Ingenuity helicopter continues its exploration of Mars, recently completing its 70th flight on December 22nd, 2023. That flight was fairly average, completing 260 meters. The previous two were record breakers, with flight 68 going 702 meters and #69 flying 705 meters across the Martian surface. With the helicopter having completed its primary objectives, NASA is finding its limits, pushing it farther, higher, and faster than ever.
An off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot had to be subdued by a flight crew and handcuffed to a seat after attempting to turn the engines off by pulling the emergency handles, officials say. He is now being charged with 83 counts of attempted murder and reckless endangerment, as well as one count of endangering an aircraft, after the flight was diverted to Portland.

Air Force funds 'blended wing body' plane design for long-range, fuel-efficient flight (www.popsci.com)
Although funded by the military, this design could one day be applied to commercial flight as well.
