It's #TakeYourDogToWorkDay! Did you know more than two dozen TSA K-9s work at Chicago's airports? For #TakeYourDogToWorkDay, we're taking a look at a few of them. Figor, Ranger, and Joco patrol the concourses of Midway International Airport, while Asi and Jam hit the busy terminals of O'Hare. The dogs are trained to sniff out explosive devices. They work closely with their handlers and even live at home with them, so they have a real bond beyond their professional mission. Figor is an 8-year-old German Shepard who loves to play at the park when he's not at work. Ranger and Joco are both German Shorthair Pointers. Ranger likes playing in the snow and being near the water, while Joco prefers relaxing in his bed and playing with his toys. Asi is 4 years old and loves munching on organic chicken chips! Jam, on the other hand, would rather enjoy apples and bananas in a park filled with squirrels.

Happy Flag Day! I love America and I have great respect for our flag. No, I don’t like everything that is happening these days, but I still love this country and show respect for our flag, nonetheless. Did you know that there are specific guidelines for flying and care for our flag? Flags should be sized appropriately for the pole they’re flying on. A rule of thumb is that the flag’s length should be one-quarter to one-third of the flag pole’s height. A 20-foot flagpole, for example, would need a flag that’s at least 5 feet long. For more ways to show respect to the flag, check out this article: https://lnkd.in/eeFQU9v2

What makes a perfect fiery sunset even more perfect? An airplane, of course! ORD Airport Watch member Adhemar Dellagiustina caught this Air China Cargo Boeing 777F crossing the South Access Road on Taxiway Zulu at ORD on September 30, 2023, with the last of the day's sun peeking over her fuselage. While much of planespotting revolves around the "big" stuff - takeoffs, landings, rare aircraft - there is much joy to be found in the mundane business of aircraft on the ground. To capture a shot like this requires planning, situational awareness, knowledge of the airport's layout and of typical traffic patterns, and a bit of luck. You may have to have some patience, if you have your heart set on making truly unique photographs that feature more than just a big flashy airplane. You may need to be ready to run back to your car and book it to a totally different location when your aircraft doesn't follow the pathway you thought it would. And you may end up with a totally different shot than the one you imagined taking. But all of that is part of the fun of what we do as planespotters, and if we're really lucky, we end up pulling over on the side of the road to photograph a beast of a cargo plane soaking up the last of a beautiful day's sunshine. Come join us in the adventure: https://lnkd.in/gAwk3hXb #avgeeks #avgeek #ordairportwatch #planespotting #planespotters #aviation #aviationphotography

Aircraft Marshalling: Guiding Skies Safely ✈️ 👋 As aviation enthusiasts, we often marvel at the sleek planes soaring above. But behind the scenes, a silent choreography unfolds—the art of aircraft marshalling. Let’s dive into this vital dance: 🚀 What Is Marshalling? Marshalling is the precise guidance of aircraft on the ground. Armed with illuminated wands, skilled ground personnel orchestrate the movements. 🌟 The Steps: Clearance: The marshaller awaits cockpit clearance. Positioning: They stand at designated spots, ready to guide. Signals: With deliberate gestures, they direct the pilot—forward, backward, left, right. Safety First: Marshalling ensures safe distances from obstacles, other planes, and ground equipment. Pushback Prep: When departure beckons, the tug arrives. Pushback: The aircraft inches back, following the marshaller’s cues. Final Farewell: As the plane taxis away, the marshaller signals “all clear.” 🌠 Teamwork in the Skies: Pilots, ground crew, and marshals—each move matters. It’s a symphony of safety, ensuring smooth departures and arrivals. 🔗 #AviationInsights #GroundOperations #SafetyFirst Next time you fly, remember these unsung heroes orchestrating the skies. 🌠✨ #airline #travel #aviation #airports #ramp #safety #operations

Prior planning and preparation is key to any UAV operation.
Day 4 at Ulendt.no Preparation is key for any successful operation, and today, we dedicated our efforts to testing the flight path for the upcoming rescue exercise scheduled for Saturday at Leirdalsbu. Utilizing our trusty DJI Flycart 30, we simulated the challenging 5.4-kilometer route through the rugged terrain of Leirdalen. This exercise allowed us to assess the drone's performance and identify potential obstacles or areas of concern along the flight path. By meticulously planning and testing the route in advance, we aim to ensure a smooth and efficient execution during the actual rescue operation. In addition to our rigorous preparations, we underwent a routine inspection by the Civil Aviation Authority Norway. Their thorough evaluation of our equipment, procedures, and documentation is a testament to our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety and compliance. We are pleased to report that everything checked out satisfactorily, further reinforcing our dedication to excellence. As we approach the rescue exercise, we remain focused and determined, drawing confidence from our extensive training and the capabilities of the Flycart 30. Our team is well-prepared to tackle any challenges that may arise, ensuring the successful completion of this critical mission. #ulendt2024 #djidelivery #flycart30 Foto: Jørgen Hauge Skogmo
