#I work in aviation

[hop-a-lot]

my liege may I ask for some jerry in these trying times

ask and thou shalt receive!

good ol Jerry!! there's something hysterical about him being Saxton's personal pilot

#tf2 #tf2 jerry #tf2 bidwell #tf2 reddy #i like to think he loves aircraft so much he'd mourn for a badly dismantled plane (just for a moment) #he enjoy working as one of the company's air freight aviators but feel resigned for Saxton's countless attempts on jumping out of the plane

The People Have Requested A Granby, and By Golly, A Granby They Shall Have!

#em draws stuff #em is posting about temeraire #temeraire #john granby #thank you eve + julia + cedar for making your opinions very known. More Granbies Soon as it took me An Hwhile to learn his face #he is Too Fancy but I am still figuring out how I think the aviators' uniforms work (and also was excited about being Able To Draw) #I can't decide whether or not keeping the tails on the coats would be useful or a hindrance aboard a dragon #altho' I shall probably opt for double-breasted coats in the working uniforms... hm maybe Design Sketches are in order #anyway Here's Granby having a rough day as per usual. #as for where I shall go next drawings-wise I am presently reading black powder war and tharkay has made his appearance #and I Did have to get up to bounce around excitedly. so perhaps we are due for a tharkay.

If people give shit to Mav because nobody believes he's married to someone with a boring name like Tom, when they ask Iceman who he's married to and he answers Pete, everybody smiles along, and yeah, yeah, it does make sense. Pete could be a lawyer, a kindergarten teacher, a doctor or a botanist, it wouldn't be very relevant because Pete is the man Admiral Kazansky goes on trips with, to hike in Yellowstone Park and to skydive that time he was bored and without anything to do. Pete is the man who sometimes makes him lunch and always, always, leaves little silly notes in the admiral's jacket when he has long meetings and conferences outside the national border. Pete, who asked Tom to marry him back in '91 and said yes when Tom asked in '11. Pete is a calm, normal, borderline boring, and composed person who loves the Admiral and likes a peaceful and relaxed life.

Yeah, exactly that Pete.

(But then Tom introduces his husband to them, and they can be admirals or secretaries or janitors alike, and everyone thinks that they really really don't know Admiral Kazansky at all.)

((Mav's favourite story is about that time Ice introduced him to Admirals Simpson and Cain. Years later, he's still crying for how much he laughs when he tells the tale.))

#@ discord does the work #i just made it a lil more mine #tom iceman kazansky #pete maverick mitchell #icemav #sweet kind pete and then it's maverick but tom is still talking about him in the same way #kindergarten teacher isn't all wrong lol he has 12 aviators now #top gun (1986) #otp: i heard from the heavens that clouds have been grey #otp: things get old our love is gold #i'm sad bc the pre-mixed base for the pancake didn't taste like anything at all efwiufeiu i will have to them homemade :(

Is it part of my Autism Package™ that I really like post-mortems? Like, for large events, I want to break down and talk over the good, the bad and the ugly, and until I've done so, I won't feel complete in the experience.

Perhaps for similar reasons, I really like videos and podcasts about disasters. Air disasters, engineering failures, nuclear contamination events, scams and swindles. If you want to sit me down for an hour and talk about a situation and what the points of failure were that led to it, I will be happy as a pig in shit.

It isn't necessarily that such things are a special interest, it's the type of information that really makes me happy. The best air disaster podcasts take an eye to the findings and the 'how was aviation changed for the better after this?', and like. I want the same for events in my real life. I want conventions to be improved year on year based on observations and feedback and collected knowledge about points of failure. I want The Big Work Events to improve and to talk about where the pain points are.

Sometimes people see me as a negative person for really wanting to chew on things like that, though.

#personal ruminations #though i will give you a list of podcasts and youtube channels on request if this resonates with you #I'm sad my number 1 air disaster podcast has ended #but i'm working through a few more now #it's funny comparing coverage from Aviation People vs. laymen vs. Rooster Teeth on the same events

the "Radguy" is stored in the aviators

When I have no choice but to buy Strive on PC, this will be the first mod I install

Just like me fr

#asks #This mod and I evolved independently and did not influence one or the other #I *think* it will work with the HOS mod since the HOS mod doesn't change his head model #If I can get Order Sol with aviators... god.... #Eventually I won't be able to play Strive with friends anymore because PS+ is going up us$20 (!!) and I ain't payin $80 for online #And also I'm playing on a launch year Playstation 4. Poor baby's huffin and puffin just to boot up anymore #I WAS considering getting a ps5 but if I need to fork out friggin 80 burger bux a year to play with buddies?? No way #You know how many rock n roll discs that is?? When I can play with them free on PC?? Hell no man

Followers what do we think about the fact that i looked on my ticket and im flying on the same plane model that got boeing into their current mess in june twice

#its already booked and its the only trip that wasnt egregiously expensive though so. #like i'll probably be fine #i dont think anythings gonna happen. what are the odds bro #do you know how many planes fly every day. how many of that model. for how long now #the reason you hear about EVERY aviation accident is because theyre so rare #that 1 is too many. and it is yes. but i will be chill #i work in an airport and i havent seen a single incident in our airspace yet. and how many flights do i service every day #i dont really count i just take them as they go #many of which are 737 max 8s #which im not saying makes them unworthy of the vitriol theyre getting. i think they should be held accountable because it was willfully cost #cutting measures and not freak accidents that caused those incidenrs #but also i think i'll be like. fine #im not too worried about it #ramblings

GUYS GUYS GUYS HEAR ME OUT

this is giving me rooster going to the gym with houdini as she prepares for the big top gun beach scene 👀👀👀

like he’s half expecting to fuck around (but in terms of working out and well, fucking around), but turns out she’s hella tough and things got hella competitive???? and they’re like running on the treadmill, doing pushups and all that shit, and at the same time admiring how good each other looks all sweaty and pumped full of adrenaline and endorphins?? but at the same time houdini’s like “focus dammit montages last forever” and rooster’s like “you’re not gonna let a civvy outlast you in the gym goddammit!!!”

#idk i just feel like they’re one of those sporty couples #who genuinely work out and do active shit together #it’s really cute and hot at the same timeee ;((( #bradley bradshaw #bradley bradshaw x actress!reader #the actress & the aviator #ava rambles #bradley bradshaw x reader

I love working at an airport because I have a very coveted cubicle by a window and sometimes F-35s come and do touch-and-go’s. And because we’re all aerospace engineers everyone comes running to the windows to watch and go “WOAHHHH” as they rip by like

This is literally what I said to my coworker:

“huh, that must be a big jet… wow that must be a really big jet… holy shit that’s a F-35!”

And then I turn around and 15 people are behind me like “a what now?”

#literally everyone came running over and then it’s like ‘WOAHHHH’ #I also hate working at an airport for this very same reason because jet makes my brain go brrrrr and productive is now nonexistent #airplanes #aviation #aerospace engineering #f 35 lightning ii #it was a new one too :)

Martyrs of the Sky — Jasta 11 line-up

new and improved 2023 designs for the webcomic :]

L - R; Schäfer, Allmenröder, Festner, Wolff, von Hafke (that one's mine if you're new here), MvR, LvR, Voss.

Would love to make a needlessly long post explaining my design process for all of them, lmk if thats something that would interest you!

Buuut the gist of it is;

Struggled to find good sources for the uniforms, mostly went off of photographs, struggled still cause they were monochrome. creative liberties were taken in the end. esp w/ flight uniforms

#martyrs of the sky #ww1 #ww1 fiction #ww1 aviation #manfred von richthofen #art tag ✨️ #artists on tumblr #digital art #refrence sheet #my hand hurts so fucking bad #omitted the caps cause idk how they work and it made me cry #I KNOW VOSS IS NO J11 BUT HES AN IMPORTANT CHARACTER AAAA
