Aeronca LC in its striking red finish, showing the elegant low‑wing lines and gently tapered planform that made the LC one of the most distinctive American light cabin monoplanes of the 1930s. The faired undercarriage, smooth cowling and Art‑Deco styling capture the period’s push toward refinement and aerodynamic cleanliness.#AvGeek #Aeronca #AeroncaLC #VintageAviation #ClassicAircraft #AviationHistory #AirVenture #Oshkosh #Taildragger #GoldenAgeAviation

The aircraft, known by its military designation SAM 2900, first entered presidential service during the administration of President George H.W. Bush. Since then, it has transported every American president, carrying them to historic summits, state visits, crisis meetings, and moments that shaped world affairs. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/features/specials/us-air-force-one-last-ride-boeing-747-retires-klv20y6m?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #AirForceOne #DonaldTrump #Boeing747 #USPolitics #AviationHistory

🚁 Oh, joy! Yet another riveting tome on #airfields that time and maps forgot, lovingly compiled by someone with a penchant for defunct runways. ✈️ Surely, nothing screams excitement like a field of weeds with a side of #nostalgia, dedicated to an audience of, well, Paul. 😂

A beautifully kept Grumman G‑44 Widgeon on the grass at Oshkosh, its classic yellow‑and‑green scheme showing off the clean lines of this twin‑engine amphibian. Designed in the early 1940s as a light utility flying boat, the Widgeon went on to serve in both civil and military roles worldwide. This example captures the type’s looks perfectly — compact, capable, and unmistakably Grumman.#AvGeek #AviationHistory #VintageAviation #GrummanWidgeon #AmphibiousAircraft #Oshkosh #AirVenture #Photography

107 years ago this week, John Alcock and Arthur Brown flew the first nonstop transatlantic flight: roughly 16 hours, open cockpit, a converted WWI bomber, Newfoundland to Ireland.

In SkyChart, your early-1930s fleet tops out well short of an ocean. It's the Bering 307 Stratoliner (1940, 3,850 km range, 33 seats) that finally turns that crossing into a passenger route you can sell.

USAF Lockheed C‑130J Hercules on the AirVenture 2004 flight line, being repositioned with a tow tractor while crowds move across the show grounds. A classic Hercules silhouette in perfect summer airshow light — four props, big presence, and that unmistakable ramp‑ready stance.#AvGeek #AirVenture #Oshkosh #EAA #C130 #Hercules #USAF #AviationHistory #PropellerPower #Photography
