The image is an airline safety instruction card titled “SAFETY ON BOARD MD-11,” printed at the top in large white letters on a red background. The card is arranged in a grid of illustrated panels combining photographs, diagrams, and symbols.

The upper section shows instructions related to seat belts, seat positions, and smoking restrictions. Photographs depict a passenger fastening and unfastening a seat belt. Red circle-and-slash symbols indicate prohibited actions, including smoking and the use of certain devices. One panel shows an aircraft seat with arrows indicating how the seat back and armrests move.

The middle section includes diagrams of an aircraft on water, showing evacuation procedures. A large central illustration depicts an MD-11 airplane floating on water with multiple exits labeled with letters and inflatable life rafts deployed on both sides of the aircraft. Smaller icons indicate brace positions and footwear restrictions, with a red circle-and-slash over high-heeled shoes.

The lower section focuses on life vest use. Photographs show adult passengers putting on bright yellow life vests, followed by images demonstrating how to fasten the vest straps. Additional drawings show how an adult assists a child with a life vest. At the bottom left, the card is labeled “swissair 0392-12063,” and at the bottom right, printed text reads, “Please do not remove from aircraft.” — The image is an airline safety instruction card titled “SAFETY ON BOARD MD-11,” printed at the top in large white letters on a red background.

The image is an airline safety instruction card titled “SAFETY ON BOARD MD-11,” printed across the top in white letters on a red background. The card uses a combination of diagrams, photographs, and safety symbols arranged in rectangular panels.

The main central panel shows a simplified top-down diagram of an MD-11 aircraft on a green background. Emergency exits are marked with letters “A” and “B,” and orange evacuation slides extend from multiple doors along both sides of the aircraft. Blue lines run lengthwise along the fuselage, indicating interior aisle paths. A small inset diagram in the upper left shows an aircraft silhouette on a runway.

On the right side of the card is a large no-smoking symbol, consisting of a cigarette inside a red circle with a diagonal slash.

Below the aircraft diagram are smaller panels illustrating evacuation procedures. One drawing shows passengers exiting the aircraft onto slides. Adjacent photographic panels show interior views of the aircraft door area, including a door with instructions and an emergency handle. Additional photos show passengers seated and demonstrating brace positions by leaning forward with heads down and arms protecting the head.

The bottom row includes images indicating differences between land and water situations, another no-smoking symbol, and a dimly lit aircraft aisle leading toward an exit.

The FAA urged aircraft operators to ensure they have enough fuel in case they are put in a holding pattern due to a rocket explosion.

We found that several planes ran low on fuel after the Jan. 2025 Starship incident. At least one declared a mayday and crossed the no-fly zone to reach an airport.

FAA Warns Airlines About Safety Risks From Rocket Launches, Urges “Extreme Caution”

The agency’s official safety alert comes as SpaceX looks to ramp up Starship tests. A recent ProPublica investigation found that explosions during previous Starship launches disrupted air traffic and forced pilots to scramble for safety.

This is a colour sunrise photo in landscape format of two aircraft approaching to land. Los Angeles (2018).

The lower half of the image is filled with a layer of white, slightly fluffy, stratus cloud. The upper half of the photo has a near transparent layer of thin cirrus cloud filling the remains of the the photo, with darker stripes stretching across the frame from left to right and is rendered golden by the still hidden (behind the San Gabriel mountain range) rising sun. In the lower left corner is a large four engined passenger plane (Boeing747) with its wheels lowered on its approach to land. In the upper right corner is a further aircraft, possibly 5-10km behind the first. This jet has 2 engines and also has its wheels lowered. — This is a colour sunrise photo in landscape format of two aircraft approaching to land. Los Angeles (2018).

Swissair Airline Caravelle Postcard flying over the Swiss Alps
.
#SwissAir #Caravelle #Postcard #SwissAlps #Travel #Ephemera #Europe #Snow #Aviation #Avgeek #Airplanes

This image shows a color photograph of a Swissair passenger jet flying over a rugged, snow-covered mountain landscape.

The airplane is seen from the side, flying left to right, above sharp, rocky peaks and glaciers. It has a white fuselage with a red stripe along the windows and the word “SWISSAIR” printed in dark letters on the side. The tail is red and displays a white Swiss cross. The aircraft appears to be a mid-20th-century jet airliner with engines mounted near the rear of the fuselage.

Below the aircraft, the terrain consists of steep alpine mountains with exposed dark rock faces and large areas of snow and ice. Several peaks rise sharply, with glaciers filling the valleys between them. The lighting suggests clear daytime conditions, with shadows emphasizing the depth and height of the mountains.

There is no visible text, border, or caption on the image itself, and no people are visible. The overall scene emphasizes commercial air travel over the Swiss Alps. — This image shows a color photograph of a Swissair passenger jet flying over a rugged, snow-covered mountain landscape.

The imposter syndrome is real!
Yet again, I find photos of planes that some of the larger, better-known, aviation sites seem not to know existed.
I'm writing the blurbs for some of Monday's photos, and am looking on sites like ABPics and JetPhotos for precise type details of G-GAGA, a Grumman AA-5B Tiger, and they seem not to know that this plane exists, they certainly don't have any photos.
And yet, I still can't bring myself to submit this to their databases, because I'm not convinced it's good enough.
