A personal jet, half a century before the #Cirrus Vision: The Morane-Saulnier MS760 "Paris Jet": https://youtu.be/YCBdEh_k3TQ
Except for noise and fuel consumption, this looks like the ultimate personal transport. I want one, but only few were built, and less than a handful survived in airworthy condition.

If you ask people about the great marvels in #AviationHistory, I think only aficionados and experts will name the #Antonov #An124 and yet it is unrivalled in many categories and although it has been designed to fulfill the needs of the #SovietUnion it has proven almost irreplaceable in the civil air cargo transport market. And all that with now 40 years in service!
To me, it doesn't get a lot more impressive than that!

Vol en première classe dans les années 1960.
La vie était autrefois plus simple. Il n'y avait qu'une seule classe pour les passagers sur les vols aériens.

Aircraft and ships, a match made in heaven. Unless it involves one of these floating failures...

Back in 2015 I was invited to the homecoming of #TWA's #WingsofPride. #N948TW was an MD-80 bought by TWA employees and donated to the airline to help it reinvent itself "from the inside out." That's the reason for the reverse livery. WoP presently lives at MKC airport.

@cvvhrn @clemensv Aesthetically pleasing? Not really.
An outstanding building block of #AviationHistory? Absolutely! 😀
#introduction from me - I'm Damien Burke, I run Thunder & Lightnings - www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk - a website about cold war military aviation in the UK. This account will mostly post related news and any significant updates from the T&L website.

The DeHavilland DH115 was the trainer version of the Vampire jet fighter. Often seen with brightly coloured panels to allow others to identify the student pilot. Which let me mock up this advert using as much Day-Glo orange as I could fit on screen.

@futurshox Welcome Jo! Looking forward to seeing more of your art :) Do you happen to have anything #Beaufighter or #Mosquito related? :) #RAF Fighter Command night fighter squadrons from WWII era are one area of #AviationHistory I'm particularly fond of :)

On this day in 1972 (50 years ago!) all commercial traffic shifted from the downtown #KC airport up to Kansas City International. The first scheduled passenger flight was a Delta DC-9 to Memphis. #AvGeek #KMCI #AviationHistory #OTD

@explorergrace Do any of those fly?
I have a few #ModelPlanes of that sort of size that fly with radio control.

The easiest way to find things is by #hashtag.
They are so important on here for finding other people with the same interests. I've added a few below to help but don't know much about the topics myself. 😀
Hope you find your people! 👍

In an attempt to anger as many people as possible hushkit.net asked me to list the 10 most over rated military aircraft. Consequently I'm still banned from RIAT.

Having a big name in #AviationHistory doesn't prevent you from mishaps, as you can see with this P-51 "Mustang" 😁:
