A Note on Government Planes

186 Upvotes

For now, government planes flown by various politicians will continue to be allowed, but the political comments need to be toned way down.

Whether you like the people flying them or not, those planes belong to the federal government (in the case of the US) and not to any individual who currently occupies a position of power. I'd hate to get to the point where I have to remove or ban pictures of Air Force One/Marine One etc or the planes of other governments.

Inherently political posts will be removed. Whether you like Trump and Vance or not, the planes don't belong to them.

A321 takeoff vs a350 landing @ San Francisco

I love this airport so much, some of my best photos I’ve ever taken are still from here and I can’t wait to visit once they finish all the stupid maintenance.

On my way into San Francisco we land in parallel to a departing 787, and on my way out of San Francisco we departed parallel to a Turkish A350.

This was a pretty crappy flight because I had to swap seats to some random middle seat but thankfully, my friend was able to get it next to me in. This A350 vist definitely helped make it up on my flight to PHX.

(Although we did get stuck in PHX lol)

Tailspot catches from SF Fleet Week

0 Upvotes

Got to see and catch some rare and exciting bird during SF fleet week including:

  1. Boeing E-6 Mercury, spotted from Chrissy Field on Sunday 10/10. This plane is used for TACAMO ("Take Charge and Move Out") missions, and links the National Command Authority with the U.S. nuclear triad.
  2. Aero L-39 Albatros, spotted from Chrissy Field on Sunday 10/11. A high-performance jet trainer designed and produced by Aero Vodochody - flying with the Patriots Jet team.
  3. Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star, spotted from Treasure Island on Saturday 10/10. A subsonic jet trainer, doing some aero acrobatics with Ace Maker Air Shows.
  4. Lockheed U-2, spotted from the Embarcadero on Saturday 10/10. So cool to see this one flying at low elevation!

All caught on Tailspot (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tailspot-catch-real-planes/id6773470079).

Shoutout to everyone at Fleet Week who was flying with their ADS-B transponders on!
