The Fight To Save The Former Air New Zealand Boeing 747s
A group of aviation fans in New Zealand called
“Bring Our Birds Home” is battling to save a former Air New Zealand 747 from the scrapyard and use it as a hotel at the National Transport and Toy Museum in Wanaka, South Island. The group had its sights firmly fixed on a Wamos Air 747 that had been sent to storage at Aeropuerto Central Ciudad Real (CQM) during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sadly the group was not able to rescue the plane as its Spanish owners decided to scrap it.

A next-generation satellite can peer through the Earth regardless of visibility or the time of day. Thanks to its high-frequency imaging instruments it can penetrate through clouds, fog, moisture, smoke, haze, and even some types of buildings. Don’t worry though, it can’t see what you’re doing inside your home.
The satellite, known as Capella-2, was launched last year in August, but it was only recently that it was made public. It is operated by a company called Capella Space, founded by Payam Banazadeh, a former system engineer at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
