    How to almost die in the mountains

    Looks fake. Notice the shading on the rocks in the background. The Sun is to the left in the photo and shading to the right. The undersides of the wings should be shaded but they are awfully bright looking to me. The undersides of the wings are brighter than the vertical stabilizer as well. If...

    Mexican notamed airspace

    According to Wikipedia they operate F-5's as interceptors! Who knew! "Due to high operating costs, lack of parts, and the extreme age of the aircraft, the Mexican Air Force retired all but three F-5s in late 2017."

    421 down at SBS

    "The flight data shows the aircraft circling in the vicinity of the airport for 25 minutes before the crash." Was he trying to burn off fuel before landing? It also says "interpreters from Integrated Community were called to the scene". Did it crash in an ethnic neighborhood?

    Can anyone identify this plane?

    That is a very interesting design but I can only guess what happens on take off at 15-20mph and you lose one engine and your "locally enhanced" lift goes away on one side with the loss of thrust.

    Strike Finder or ADF

    Well, it's cheaper than an SiriusXM subscription AND you can tell if a thunderstorm is close by the loud crackles in the audio when lightning strikes! The crackle is in real time by the way.

    Strike Finder or ADF

    The Strike Finder can't play cool AM radio stations while in cruise. You probably shouldn't be flying in thunderstorms anyway so ADF for the win.
