Travel for Aircraft By joseph may on March 11, 2021 at 9:24 AM British Airways Concorde (G-BOAF) rudder damage at FAST (Farnborough Air Sciences Trust) ©2017 Joseph May/Slipstream Photography Nearing their destination of Sydney Australia, enroute from Christchurch New Zealand, the flight crew (as well as the 100 passengers) of British Airways Concorde G-BOAF (9 years in service) felt a bird strike-like thud while traversing the Tasman Sea at Mach 1.7 and passing through 44,000 feet. But there are no birds at FL440 and instruments indications were normal. But there was that thud? Possibly an engine surge? The flight continued as all appearances were that nothing definitively concerning had occurred. Sydney was as close as Christchurch was at their position so the flight continued as planned.

The FAST Lady of the Night - Travel for Aircraft

Travel for Aircraft By joseph may on February 25, 2021 at 8:20 AM 51° 16′ 56″ N / 00° 45′ 12″ W This unique 1955 vintage Hawker Hunter is known as Hecate (the goddess of the night in Greek mythology) since it was the aircraft utilized to trial a pair of HUDs (heads up display, one each for each of the crew) as well as LLTV (low light television) and FLIR (forward looking infrared). Also trialed was the  Penetrate pod which was a terrain database that provided visual cues in the HUDs (an earlier version is mounted on the port wing). This Hunter was meant to rule the night by way of all weather, low-level, high speed flying. Amazingly, this airframe accumulated 3,670.3 hours before ultimate retirement and can be seen at FAST (Farnborough Air Sciences Trust)
