An #altiport is an aerodrome for small #airplanes and #helicopters, situated on or within mountainous terrain. Altiports are generally characterized by having a #runway with an atypical slope to fit in the local topography. Ultimately, this slope helps #aircraft decelerating when landing and assists acceleration during takeoff. High altitude results in less lift available to aircraft wings, which requires aircraft to achieve higher speed at #takeoff and #landing. Such airfields with unusual physical characteristics are frequent in regions such as the French Alps, Himalayan regions, as well as Pacific islands. #Courchevel Altiport. Extremely challenging and demanding operations. #Pilatus #PC12 is one of the best aircraft to fly here.

Juan Terry Trippe, the visionary President of Pan American, was determined to maintain the airline's position as a leader in global passenger service. In 1944, Pan Am boldly placed an order for 26 Douglas C-74s, also known as Clipper 9 (also 1st DC-7), which boasted a capacity of up to 108 passengers. These state-of-the-art aircraft were designed with luxurious lounges and private staterooms for the proposed New York to Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires service. The estimated cost of each plane was approximately $1,125,000, a significant investment for the airline. However, following the Second World War, the commercial air travel market did not grow as anticipated, and market analysis indicated that the high passenger loads required to justify the operational cost could not be guaranteed. Undeterred, Pan Am strategically canceled the C-74 order in October 1945 and opted for smaller aircraft. As a result, the opportunity for a commercial version of the C-74 Globemaster I was lost forever. This refers to an image of the Pan American Douglas C-74, Clipper 9, NC4201, as it could have looked in 1945, from the Zoggavia collection. #classicaviation #aviationphoto #aviationphotography #civilaviation #stockphotos #kodak #slides #aviationgeek #panamerican #zoggavia #douglas #globemaster #c74

Great insights from Jason Wynn & Nikki Wynn about deciding on the best choice of registration for their yacht. This has an interesting US citizen slant and touches on insurance issues faced with the USCG flagged yachts outside of US waters. Eugene Samarin gives his thoughts in favor of the Marshal Islands under 24m program: 🔹 Best value 🔹 Ease of progress for registering 🔹 Safe flag (White list on Paris MOU) 🔹 No Survey for yachts under 24m 🔹 Global team (including in Fort Lauderdale) 🔹 Digital Certification (can be instantly emailed) 🔹 More financing options (than the more obscure flags) 🔹 RMI vessels can call on the US Navy for assistance 🔹 Lower rate insurance (being a reputable flag) 🔹 No extra scrutiny on arrival in foreign countries I would argue that Marshall Islands unrivaled 20 years within the USCG's Qualship 21 program would make us the highest quality flag (not CISR), but I will let this one go.... for now 😉! ⬇️Check out the video here⬇️ https://lnkd.in/ejT_Dtfv (This is not an advert for the RMI Registry or sponsored content) #RMIRegistry #RMIFleet #superyacht #superyachts #yachting #Yacht #Yachts #marineindustry #maritime

Looking forward to talking more about planes, trains and what rail can learn from air as the industry goes on its retailing journey. I also think there's lots air can learn from rail, and I'm looking forward to meeting with leaders in the rail ecosystem to do so. Below is an article posted by the World Passenger Festival that outlines how the Protect Group can help transport retailers develop their proposition as the importance of a hyper-personalised, customer-centric offer gains momentum.

What do you know about "Water Salute" A water salute is a distinguished tradition in #aviation, symbolizing respect, honor, and celebration. It is a ceremonial practice commonly used in aviation to mark significant events. The gesture involves one or more fire trucks spraying arcs of water over an aircraft as it taxis on the runway, creating an archway for the aircraft to pass through Occasions for a Water Salute include inaugural flights, retirement of aircraft, final flights of pilots, VIP arrivals, and marking special occasions in aviation. The practice requires coordination between the airline, airport operations, and the fire department. Fire trucks are positioned on either side of the taxiway or runway, spraying water to form an archway as the aircraft approaches, and the aircraft then taxis through the water arch This ceremonial gesture adds a special touch to notable moments in air travel, making them even more memorable and honoring the events and individuals involved #aviation #watersalute #ceremony #emiratesairlines
