...and one more photos to complete my shots of #Vancouver posted over the last three days. This photo was taken early Monday morning in the typical Vancouver pouring rain and shows our Porter Airlines Embraer E195-E2 #airliner at the gate, ready to load for the trip home, just before boarding. However, as always, up at cruising altitude the sun was shining!
Why most of the Boeing stories this past week are "not news"
and when some are:

Ph.D. Meteorologist Documents Impact Of Global Warming On Turbulence
Compared with La Niña years that have the opposite effect, El Niño increases the incidence of wind shear—conflicting airflows that create severe turbulence not associated with visible storms caused by convective activity. Williams found “when there’s a strong El Niño event, there is 50 percent more moderate-or-greater CAT over large parts of the U.S. and the North Atlantic. And when there’s a strong La Niña event, there’s about 50 percent less moderate-or-greater CAT than normal.” Williams did note that the climate-based effects are not as strong in Europe.
But Williams’s research doesn’t stop with the predictable effects of warmer El Niño years or cooler La Niña interludes. In research conducted in 2019, he concluded that global warming across the board has demonstrably contributed to increased air turbulence, worldwide.

An advance in aerospace technology, an airliner designed by Stable Diffusion AI!! Yes that wing is on backwards, among other things. The choice of company "Snail Airlines" sounds about right, though.

Stowaway Bodies Found After Three Days In Gear Well
Authorities in Colombia say an Avianca A320neo likely flew around South America for three days with the bodies of two stowaways in a gear well. The airline said it found the two, likely teenage boys, on Friday night when the plane went in for scheduled maintenance.
People really need to stop doing this. You never get a free ride to America. Instead you get either crushed by the landing gear when it retracts, frozen to death, dead from hypoxia, or in some cases, probably all three.
Dozens Injured In Severe Turbulence Near Hawaii
I guess if this incident doesn't convince people of the need to wear their seatbelts in an #airliner, then nothing will.
We set the #StableDiffusion #AI to work to design our next generation #airliner. All aboard!
Interesting. At around #sunset, the #contrails of passenger #aeroplanes glows very brightly and is visible from very far out. I spotted an #airliner near the #horizon which was heading this way and very roughly measured the time it took to pass by. That was around 15 minutes. Assuming that it was cruising at about 1000 km/h, it means that I must have spotted it about 250 km in the distance! Even if my timing was grossly overestimated at it was a mere 10 minutes, that still means I saw it around 170 km away when I first spotted it.
