#ThisIsTextron: More than eight decades ago, a small aircraft company started in Wichita, Kansas, to do what others said could not be done — to build a monoplane that used a wing without supporting struts or braces. When the Cessna All Purpose aircraft took off August 13, 1927, the aviation world was forever changed. For much of the mid-to-late 20th century, the Cessna brand was one of the highest-volume and most diverse of general aviation aircraft in the world. Today, the Cessna brand, part of Textron Aviation, remains one of the most known private aircraft brands in the world with a wide breadth of products finding solutions for the novice to most advanced aviator.

Just finished watching The Blue Angels in IMAX… I have always been fascinated with Aviation since I was a kid. If you’re looking for your new Ted Lasso Ah ha moment or team building moment in 2024… This is it! Here was my takeaway… “Perfection is never going to happen. In pursuit of perfection, excellence can be obtained on the path to perfection”. - Greg “Boss” Woolridge This documentary demonstrates: - Trust, precision, teamwork, strategy, importance of individual contribution, being humble first, then listening, and then leading. - Essential to screen and pick the best talent to join the team. No room for error. - 100% commitment to both team and family - Support team members growth and support one another with encouragement, while celebrating wins and correcting failures together. - Family sacrifice and communication to ensure support of goals These pilots have significant experience and a decorated career, but when they join this elite team, it’s like starting from ground zero - just like starting any new role or challenge for many of us. Everyone on the 150+ team has a role. Sometimes roles feel remedial but if those roles didn’t get performed properly - it creates breakdown or downstream impacts to the team, which could lead to a safety issue. Two Great Foundations You Can Support: Warrior Foundation Freedom Station The Blue Angels Foundation Finally, we are a small business. We can’t compete on the same scale with many of the larger companies that are in Private Jet Charter and the Drone industry. However, we do aspire to be something greater one day. Those companies started small and with a great idea. Most of them wanted to chart a new direction and serve others on their path to Excellence. www.staboaviation.com Excellence | Efficiency | Reliability #theblueangels #baf #blueangelsfoundation #usnavy #navy #usa #f18 #hornet #f18hornet #warriorfoundation #freedomstation #flight #aviation #ahhamoment #teamwork #teambuilding #generalaviation #businessaviation #strategy #staboaviation #linkedinnews #postoftheday LinkedIn

Attention drawn to pilot fatigue as Batik Air pilots reportedly nod off mid-flight. In Europe, pilot fatigue persists as a significant issue: A 2023 survey of 6,900 pilots revealed 72.9% feel they lack sufficient rest between shifts, with three-quarters experiencing microsleeps on duty in the last month. Gain deeper insights into this critical topic with our latest post, and don't miss the thought-provoking article linked below. https://lnkd.in/dMHDyiT2 (Credit: Getty Images & BBC By Zaria Gorvett, Features correspondent) #simbuddy #aviation #aviationnews #airlines #pilots #aircrew #aviationindustry #captains #captain #fo #firstofficers #firstofficer #airlineindustry #cityjet #atc #AirTrafficControl #airtrafficcontroller #pilotfatique #luchtvaart #bombardier #boeing #embraer #pilot #flightsafety #aviationsafety #humanfactors

I flew business jets for many years, then got hired at the airlines to fly the Boeing 727-200. When you get hired at the airlines, you already know how to fly, but you have to spend hundreds of hours in the classroom and simulator learning how to fly a specific aircraft before you get to touch the real thing. I vividly remember the day we finally got to preflight the actual aircraft after weeks of flying the simulator. I thought the King Air, Gulfstream and Falcon were enormous compared to the Bonanza I flew for the American Red Cross, so I still get goosebumps thinking about standing next to the landing gear of the B727 for the first time and taking in the sheer size of what I'd be flying. 197,000 lbs gross max weight. .90 Mach in level flight (but it could do .965). It's awe inspiring and humbling. This photo is of a main landing gear strut of a B-36 Peacemaker and it dwarfs the B727. The Peacemaker is 166,000 lbs empty. It can carry 86,000 lbs of payload, it's the largest mass-produced piston engine aircraft and has the largest wing span of any military aircraft. What's the aircraft that made you say, WOW, I get to fly this?
