SWISS is installing a 1.5-ton counterweight in the tail of its A330s because the new first class suites are too heavy for the front of the plane. Wild engineering workaround. The full SWISS Senses retrofit kicks off in earnest mid-2026, one plane every six weeks.

Fun at a baseball game in Hiroshima!
Baseball stadium in Hiroshima.
Baseball stadium near Sapporo.
Baseball crowds in Japan are indeed much more fun than MLB. Everyone participates in various chants/rituals and there’s a section reserved just for visiting fans (who are as boisterous as the home fans).
Definitely try to buy tickets in advance if you know for sure which game(s) you want to attend.
At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause
What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling
Zip!
Working version of a Japanese railway ticket gate machine, with a clear plexiglass cover to show its intricate interior workings, on display at the Kyoto Railway Museum.
Yes, they have working one (with a clear cover) on display inside the “Let’s Ride The Train” section of the Kyoto Railway Museum. The tickets really zip through a complex interior design.
Let’s just say I went through and tried it… more than once!
Even more interesting because Porter Airlines PD783 YYZ-LIR initially diverted/returned to FLL today, and then resumed its flight by giving Cuba a wide berth.
FlightRadar24 screenshots of AC972 and PD785 (both scheduled YYZ-GCM) on Feb 10th.
Interesting indeed, especially because AC972 was able to overfly Cuba on its way to GCM from YYZ today (but PD785 wasn’t, as you said).
Big oops...

The entrance to Terminal 3 at Havana’s main airport.
Over the weekend, Cuba issued NOTAMs warning of a lack of jet fuel at airports around the country, including Havana beginning Tuesday. Now airlines are beginning to cancel flights and make other contingency plans ahead of tomorrow’s cut off. www.flightradar24.com/blog/aviatio...
Every kid that attended my 10th birthday party got chicken pox shortly thereafter (one of them probably already had it though) except me. 🙃

Gulfstream obtained FAA and EASA approval for a software fix for the G500 and G600 aircraft that limited operations to low wind conditions after an Airworthiness Directive was issued last May. This approval removes the operating restrictions on the aircraft and https://airinsight.com/?p=67733
WestJet goes back on plan to reduce legroom on planes following ‘feedback’ #Canada
This was stupid, and cost them money 🤣
WestJet says, it will remove one row of seats — converting all 180-seat planes to 174-seat layouts.

Can a crew not have a duty “day” that starts just in time for the 9:45pm departure from JFK and finishes with the 7:40am arrival back into JFK the next morning? I believe that WS used to do that with very late night arrivals into YKF followed by a very early morning departure back out.

During AGF15, I went to a WHL game in Everett and had a fun time. Good hockey, nice arena, great crowd!

One pilot in Canada took to the skies for a #RemembranceDay tribute. Dimitri Neonakis has a history of special sky art in Canada, most recently a flight path supporting the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series. See www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraf... for playback of this flight and others.
The stone church
Looking towards the church from an overhead walkway, where the wide Jefferson Blvd and various driveways are much more prominent
Plaque text: MARINERS CHURCH In 1842, according to the will of Julia Ann Anderson, Mariners Church was organized to serve the spiritual needs of Great Lakes seamen. Anderson had come to Detroit in 1818 with her husband, John, a brevet lieutenant colonel with the U.S. Topographical Engineers. Designed by Calvin Otis of Buffalo, New York, the Gothic Revival church was built in 1849 on the northwest corner of Woodward Avenue and Woodbridge Street. In 1955 the church was moved to make room for the Civic Center plaza. Hauled 880 feet steel rails to this site, the 3,000-ton limestone structure blocked Woodward Avenue traffic for 21 days. The church was immortalized in the 1975 ballad "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" as the "cathedral" where "the church bell chimed til it rang 29 times.” Mariners Church is in the National Register of Historic Places
The last thing you see before returning to Canada from Detroit before entering the tunnel is the Old Mariner’s Church, a place of prayer for those who sailed the Great Lakes.
Built in 1845, it was moved to the tunnel entrance to make way for a civic plaza.
The bell tolled 29 times 50 years ago.

Airplane lav scene showing passenger with face paint that won’t come off. WestJet flight attendant says from outside door “It says here you can try mayonnaise?”.
Key moments from a short WestJet commercial currently airing in Canada (albeit the face paint is in support of a sports team rather than for Halloween). 🤣
