Fun fact: If you're on a flight that uses Viasat for Wi-Fi connectivity and have T-Mobile you get free wifi in the US but even on international flights where they hide the T-Mobile deal you can still access the T-Mobile promotion page directly

You have to get your device ID token from the URL of any of their wifi-related links

Then paste it into this URL: directaccess.viasat.com/landin

Enjoy, T-Mobile flyers!

The Return Of #Supersonic Flights Might Actually Be Real
#BoomSupersonic's test #plane could pave the way for a new supersonic #airline
The private test plane is a one-third-scale presentation of the startup’s planned Overture airliner. #AmericanAirlines and #UnitedAirlines have already placed orders for the Overture, so a successful test flight next week would be a monumental step toward the return of supersonic commercial flights.

Did glare from outdoor lighting in Washington, D.C., contribute to last month's air disaster there?

"Our examination shows how the American Airlines jet and the second plane, though separated by miles, would have appeared close to one another near the horizon and the helicopter crew could have confused the two jets when the tower first warned of incoming air traffic. The examination further shows how around a minute later, as viewed from the helicopter cockpit, the lights of the incoming American Airlines jet could have been obscured by the glow of the city skyline, allowing the jet to go undetected."
