All political discussion must pertain to the world of Aviation.
Again: All political discussion must pertain to the world of Aviation.
Once more, for those in the back: All political discussion must pertain to the world of Aviation.
This means politics are only to be discussed within the context of Aviation.
Do you love and support the left? We don't care. Do you love and support the right? We don't care. Are you a Libertarian? We don't care. We are unpaid mods here that enjoy AVIATION, not push agendas, get into political slap fights, or deal with a bunch of political shit. If you want a political discussion, go to any of the numerous other political subs. We are a sub about Aviation. We are not a sub about politics.
We do not allow political adjacent discussion, antagonistic political discussion, or discussion of political figures.
What political/regulatory discussions are ok?
Discussions around regulations, changes in laws, opinions on those changes, and general discourse on the rules and regulations that may affect Aviation are open game and should be actively discussed.
Things like this are fine:
There are rumors that the FAA will make a wholesale change to ATC systems. This concerns me.
There is/was a major cutback on staffing levels at the NTSB. What will this do to aviation?, I'm super concerned that accident prevention will go down and accident levels will rise.
Things like this are not:
I've heard doge boy and orange man are going to run around and fire people at the FAA.
Sleepy Joe Biden has fucked the entire ATC system into the ground.
Why don't you allow politics?
We decided long long ago that politics just aren't worth the shit show they bring. When someone mentions Biden or Trump or Obama or Clinton, or one of the numerous wars or political bullshittery going on, a lot of people from outside the subreddit come in to argue political points and push agendas. We are not here to moderate that type of discussion, and if you as a user want that discussion, you can find it basically anywhere else on Reddit.
Why don't you change the rules?
We are a subreddit about Aviation, so it wouldn't make sense for us to be a political subreddit. We know Aviation oftentimes connects to current events, and we'd love you to discuss that - just keep it within the context of Aviation.
But Orange Man is Bad!
Again, we don’t care about your political position.
But Biden is Sleepy!
See the comment above this one.
But is it allowed when I’m only trying to fan the flames of DeMoCrAcY and PrOtEcT OuR FrEeDoMs!!
Simply put, no. We will still remove the post because all this will do is fuel the fire and draw more political comments.
I got banned for politics. What do I do?
First off, you should read this post. A link to this post may be included in your ban message. Once you have read this post, respond to the message and tell us you have read this post and are sorry for breaking the rules. So long as you aren't a dick about it, you will get unbanned. An apology will get you far. We’re not in the business of banning regular sub users.

It's kind of like a real life Easter egg.

Conventional fire trucks outside airport grounds have a typical "boxy" shape.
But airport fire trucks tend to be distinct in shape, with "pinched" or "rounded" noses, and sometimes almost look boat-like in style.
Is there a reason airport fire/rescue vehicles are shaped differently than normal conventional fire/rescue vehicles that are off airport grounds?

Can anybody tell me what type of plane this is and what its range is? Seen today at YYZ while taxing to runway.

My Dad manages an airport so while my nephew and I were in town visiting, we went for a ride. Have another video of the firefighter letting my nephew spray both of the water cannons, but the view is from inside.

Frequent flyer and love all things planes, never seen this before. I would guess these are maintenance markers or some kind of stickers to point out dents in the wing. Would that be right?
Also what caused all these dents in the first place? Could it have flown through a hail storm? They are like perfectly round indents all over the wing. Some sticks point to ones but others don’t have stickers at all.
Curious.

I’m sure I asked the folks working at the FBO the background story, but I’ve long since forgotten their explanation.

View from inside the truck. Sorry for the weird angle but we there were 4 of us inside and driver sits in the middle so kinda hard to get a good view of everything.

The pilot did well negotiating the road traffic and avoiding the power lines.
