If they fly and they take your money, then this is the place for you to read about them. And hey… we don’t charge any of those new fees.
Everything that goes up, must come down. Sometimes, though, it happens in ways we don’t want it to. Aviation accidents, incidents, and sometimes just dented planes. Its all here.
Here you’ll find stuff like “look both ways before you cross that runway young man”. You know… things like that.
The wacky and weird happen everywhere and aviation is no exception. Nope, Velozia doesn’t have anything on Big Foot flying an alien spaceship through the Bermuda Triangle, but some other post may rouse your curiosity.
Airplanes, helicopters, blimps… you know. If it flies, this is your category. Disclaimer: Frisbees not included.
I discovered this video after reading an article about it today on my local newspaper. Over the past few years, some airlines have been improving the in-cabin safety videos by changing the bland, boring look that most of them have and making them a little bit more interesting using animation, comedy, and other elements. The goal of the airlines is to actually get everyone to look at the videos as the airplanes prepare to depart. Air New Zealand took this a bit further by featuring their flight attendants and pilots giving the safety briefings wearing nothing but body paint. Of course, we’re not talking Sports Illustrated risque body paint, but still a lot different than your average safety video. The video is part of an advertising campaign by Air New Zealand in which employees of the airline are featured in body paint. You can search for other videos in the series on You Tube. Of course, the videos also amount to free publicity as the ads and safety videos go viral and spread through the Internet in websites such as this one.
