Fun Facts: Airplanes & Airports Part 5

Gloucestershire Airport in England used to blast Tina Turner music to scare off birds and it worked better than blaring bird distress calls. 

Potatoes absorb and reflect radio wave signals the same way that human bodies do. So, in the past, engineers have actually used them to test and improve Wi-Fi signals on planes.

On July 23, 1983, Air Canada Flight 143 with sixty-nine people on board ran out of fuel at an altitude of 7.7 miles. Miraculously, the pilot managed to glide the plane down safely, as he was a very experienced glider pilot. The issue, 2,300 pounds (1,043 kilograms) of jet fuel had been put in instead of 2,300 kilograms (5,070 pounds). 

The CEO of Japan Airlines, Todu Yamanaka, makes less than his pilots, takes a bus to work, and eats in the cafeteria. When interviewed about this, he said that businesses who pursue money first, fail.

Airplane food isn’t very tasty because our sense of smell and taste decrease by 20 to 50% during flights.

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Thor’s Helmet
Image Credit & Copyright: Josep Drudis, Christian Sasse

Explanation: Thor not only has his own day (Thursday), but a helmet in the heavens. Popularly called Thor’s Helmet, NGC 2359 is a hat-shaped cosmic cloud with wing-like appendages. Heroically sized even for a Norse god, Thor’s Helmet is about 30 light-years across. In fact, the cosmic head-covering is more like an interstellar bubble, blown by a fast wind from the bright, massive star near the bubble’s center. Known as a Wolf-Rayet star, the central star is an extremely hot giant thought to be in a brief, pre-supernova stage of evolution. NGC 2359 is located about 15,000 light-years away toward the constellation of the Great Overdog. This sharp image is a combination of deep images taken in light emitted by hydrogen (red) and oxygen (blue). The star in the center of Thor’s Helmet is expected to explode in a spectacular supernova sometime within the next few thousand years.

Monday Morning Meme Madness

https://twitchy.com/fuzzychimp/2026/06/08/monday-morning-meme-madness-n2428810

Hell hath no fury…..

A sixteen year-old boy came home with a brand new Ford F150. His parents look at the truck and ask, “Where did you get that truck?!”

“I bought it today,” he says.

“With what money?” says his mother.

They knew what a new F150 cost.

“Well,” he says, “this one cost me just fifteen dollars.”

The father looks at him like he’s crazy.

“Who would sell a truck like that for fifteen dollars?” he says.

“It was the lady up the street,” says the boy. “I don’t know her name – they just moved in. She saw me ride past on my bike and asked me if I wanted to buy her F150 for fifteen dollars.

“Oh my Goodness!” says the mother. “Maybe she’s mentally ill or has Alzheimer’s something. John, you better go see what’s going on.”

So the boy’s father walks up the street to the house where the lady lives and finds her out in the yard calmly planting petunias.

He introduces himself as the father of the boy to whom she had sold a new Ford F150 truck for fifteen dollars and asks to know why she did it.

“Well,” she says, “two days ago my husband left on a business trip. Yesterday I got a phone call from his boss and found out that he really ran off to Hawaii with his secretary and doesn’t intend to come back.”

“Oh, my goodness, I’m so sorry,” the father says. “But what does that have to do with my son and your truck?”

“Well, this morning he called and told me he was stranded because he got robbed of his wallet with all his credit cards and cash. He told me to sell his new F150 and send him the money. So I did.”

Fun Facts: Airplanes & Airports Part 4

In September of 1940, two planes collided over Brocklesby, Australia, their engines interlocked, and the top plane’s engines stopped working. The engines on the plane underneath continued to work and the pilot of that craft landed both planes safely and all four crewmen survived.

Planes used to be a lot more comfortable. In the 1940’s, the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser had reclining club chairs throughout the cabin. On intercontinental flights, every seat could adjust into a bed so that each passenger could sleep.

Sir Richard Branson once lost a bet with Air Asia’s CEO, Tony Fernandes, on the winner of the 2010 Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi. He had to work as a flight attendant on Tony’s airline from Perth to Kuala Lumpur.

The SR-71 Blackbird was the world’s fastest air-breathing, man-made aircraft and outran 4,000 missiles fired at it during its service.
