#Russia Covering #Aircraft With Tires Is About Confusing Image-Matching #Missile Seekers U.S. #Military Confirms
A “sort of classic unclassified example that exists is like a picture of a plane from the top, and you’re looking for a plane, and then if you put tires on top of the wings, all of a sudden, a lot of #computer vision models have difficulty identifying that that’s a plane,” Moore said as part of a larger discussion about #AI models and data sets.

Cathay Pacific Grounds Its Airbus A350-1000s
For all those fans who think only #Boeing has issues with their aircraft these days:
Airbus is taking a turn on the negative-publicity rollercoaster. Cathay Pacific, the flagship carrier for Hong Kong, announced it has grounded its fleet of Airbus A350-1000s for inspection after finding faulty engine components in 15 of 18 aircraft. According to a report today (Sept. 3) in online outlet Channel News Asia, Cathay Pacific Flight CX383 took off from Hong Kong for Zurich, Switzerland, yesterday, but turned back after the failure of an unspecified component of one of its Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engines. The twin-aisle Airbus landed safely 75 minutes after takeoff, following two holding circuits to burn fuel.
Reuters reported that a person familiar with the incident said the discrepancy involved a fuel nozzle. It is not clear whether the engine lost power. Cathay Pacific said in a statement that the flight was the “first of its type to suffer such failure on any A350 aircraft worldwide.”
California Legislature Passes Leaded Avgas Ban
California is a governor's signature away from banning leaded aviation gasoline statewide. Politico Pro is reporting the California state Senate on Thursday passed bill that would outlaw the fuel starting in 2031. California is the first state to pass a leaded fuel ban. Several other states have similar legislation moving through their legislatures.
About time!!!
Today’s New Manhattan Project would necessarily require a fleet of dedicated #chemtrail #spraying #aircraft. When looking back in #history for large, covertly operating fleets of American aircraft, one finds plenty. Loads of other circumstantial evidence is presented here and a strong case is made for a certain breed of aircraft dedicated to fouling our biosphere and ruining our lives. We need to understand what is being done to us in order to stop it. Please watch this video and learn about the depths of the #evil that has #befallen #us.

Arizona Teen Finds Lost Pets Using Drone Technology
Pastore said he does most of his best work at night. “I don’t normally do my searches during the day because it’s so hot. What I’ll do is, I’ll get this one up in the sky at nighttime, and it has a thermal camera, so I’ll look for any heat signatures, like cats, dogs, anything moving, really.” TRACC Pet Recovery has already been successful at reuniting pets with their owners. “Once they realize that their dog [or cat] has been found, they get super emotional, and of course, happy,” he said.
FAA Greenlights Amazon Drone Delivery Beyond Visual Line Of Sight
With FAA clearance secured, Amazon is set to begin drone deliveries later this year in College Station, Texas, where the company began its drone deliveries in 2022. According to Amazon, this regulatory approval paves the way for it to reach customers in densely populated areas, laying the foundation for scaling operations across the United States.
What could go wrong? Aside from the constant noise and potential for accidents, this will launch a whole new class of "porch pirates" following these around neighbourhoods. The comments on that article outline many of the concerns, like how will this work for apartments, etc...

Travolta’s Pilots Charged With Embezzling Almost $800,000
A gutsy and ultimately unsuccessful attempt to rob actor John Travolta
Two pilots are charged with embezzling close to $800,000 from actor/pilot John Travolta’s production company. The Marion County (Florida) Sheriff’s Department confirmed to AVweb that Jean Paul Lacruz-Romero is in custody. Local news outlets have reported that Lacruz-Romero is charged with organized fraud, grand theft and money laundering. The second pilot, identified as Jorden David Coursey, is being sought for similar charges. Both have since been terminated by Constellation Productions, which lists Travolta as president.
Russia currently refuses international commission to investigate Il-76 crash
An international commission is needed to establish the cause of the Russian Il-76 transport plane's crash, but Moscow currently rejects this option
Russia has alleged that the military aircraft that crashed in Russia's Belgorod Oblast on Jan. 24 was destroyed by Ukrainian forces and that it was carrying 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs).
Ukraine has called Russia's narrative into question and demanded an international investigation.
"Concerning specific causes of the plane's crash, the request to create an international commission is logical and well-founded," Yusov said. Such an investigation could examine the wreckage of the plane and uncover its black box, he noted.
"At the moment, as we hear, Russia rejects the possibility of such a commission."

This article feels like it should be just the preface to a much longer piece, but it's a start. More analysis of how Boeing was previously successful as a boring, steady, reliable company would be nice as well as the predictable (but accurate) narrative of 'corporate greed run amok' explantation for the fall.
Walmart-Google Linkup Adds Drone Delivery To 60,000 Households
Last month, a supermarket news report detailed a recent partnership between Walmart and Google-owned drone delivery firm Wing centered on the Dallas area, adding drone delivery capability to some 60,000 households. A Wing Supercenter in Frisco, Texas, could be followed up early this year with a second Supercenter in the region.
The comments on this article (generally written by pilots) are worth reading, like this one:
Basically they’re just saying that today, the general public, is just too lazy to do their own shopping. With door dash, Uber eats, and grub hub, American families will be getting ever more lazy.
And fatter and even less healthy. I could put in an order for Bourbon, have it flown to me, and claim that I am just protecting the general public by not driving drunk. But the reality would be completely different….
