We have added a new rule to limit AI content on this sub. It is not a blanket ban. If you are interested, take a look at the rule below and suggest any changes in the comments.

"Content may be removed which appears to be generated by AI tools. This includes images/video and text.

What’s the coolest thing about a 737? A lot of experienced pilots I’ve talked to have flown this aircraft. What makes it stand out from the rest?

Can someone identify this part of an airplane?

2026-06-09T15:38:00+00:00

So, while on a walk I came across this huge airplane part (6-7m long), just leaning on a shed

Can anyone identify what exactly it is and what type of aircraft it belonged to?

High-wing composite design + dual floats + punching through the ground effect over La Prairie lagoon. Flew on this sub-400kg empty weight frame straight out past the reef line to track the famous "underwater waterfall" optical illusion from 500 feet.

Is Museum Aeroscopia worth the time?

2026-06-09T11:53:04+00:00

Visiting Toulouse next week, but only there for 2 days. Personally I am a big fan of Aero museums, lucky enough to visit Museum of Flight (Seattle) & the Canada Aviation and Space Museum (Ottawa) in the not so recent past, and my question is the visit to the Museum Aeroscopia worth the travel, it’s almost hour and half (public transport) from city center Toulouse. I’d love some insight who has ever visited if it is worth the time and the travel.

What would happen if a somebody in the cabin of Cessna 185 shot firearm through the "roof"?

2026-06-08T22:59:35+00:00

In the trailer of the upcoming movie The Dog Stars and there's an action sequence towards the end of video;
During takeoff roll, one of the bad guys climbs on the "roof" of the Cessna 185 Skywagon and pilot tells passenger to"shoot the roof".

Wait a minute? Isn't the "roof" filled with fuel in that thing?

While I'm interested in aircraft and aviation, I'm not that familiar with all types of high-wing or Cessnas specifically.

I'll post the YouTube video link in comments in case it's against rules.

He said \"Shoot the roof!\" while pointing up. And she obliged.

Update:
I did the work and found Cessna 185 parts catalog - https://www.mennen.org/airplanes/Logs46Q/C185parts.pdf

According to schematic in section 103. Fuel Systems, the fuel tanks are in the wings and not above the cabin like Google AI confidently told me.

It looks like a fuel line connecting both tanks crosses the roof but I don't think it would be hit by the shot(s) we can see in the trailer.

In concludion, a gunshot through the roof is unlikely to cause a fuel leak. And Google AI search lies confidently, which is nothing new.

My 6-year old wants your opinion of his airplane

2026-06-08T11:34:33+00:00

I didn’t have the heart to tell him it “doesn’t have wings” and appears to “not really be an airplane at all”.
