True, but Airbus is still squeezing some use out of the operating A306ST fleet. Never know when you might have to bust one out because you’ve got extra parts to ship.
According to Airfleets, the current status of F-GSTA is that it is in storage. However a further Google search of the registration shows that the aircraft is in the process of retirement starting from April 27th 2021 and is possibly facing scraping.
Granted retirement doesn’t always mean scrapping, but it seems like that may be the case here. The A300-600ST Beluga models are getting old and obselete, especially with the introduction of the more modern A330-700 BelugaXL with a larger size, more capacity, and better fuel efficiency.
So as it stands, GSTA is currently in storage for ‘retirement’, though what retirement entails in this scenario is not clear
Yes, they are banned for reasons which aren’t entirely clear, though it likely had something to do with them claiming their builds were superior on others posts.

Heh. What do you mean you’ve been waiting for something like this? There’s tons of TWA craft on the site. Or were you just waiting for a TWA 767 in particular?

Thank you! I’m trying to keep it up but I’ve only got so much free time… okay that’s a lie. I have a lot of free time but I can’t spend every hour on simpleplanes.

Indeed. I find incident aircraft that endured significant damage and were then returned to the fleet quite interesting. For example the Azores Glider, C-GITS, continuing to serve with air transat for another 20 some years.

Yah a ton of DHL planes were outfitted with a pride livery last year. Some of them just never bothered to take it off I think.
In general, the North American X-15 gets the official highest speed record of any aerial vehicle, hitting a top speed of Mach 6.7 at an altitude of over 19 miles. She achieved this speed using the XLR99, which was basically a liquid fuel rocket engine. This makes sense as it was effectively a rocket with a cockpit attached to it.
The fastest aircraft with an air breathing engine was the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird with the record speed of Mach 3.3 at an altitude of around 16 miles. She achieved these speeds with the Pratt Whitney J58, an engine which could transition from a turbojet into a hybrid ramjet at higher altitudes.
As for the fastest aircraft currently in service, and don’t quote me on this, I believe is the MiG-25 reaching a maximum safe speed of 2.83 mach. It can go around 3.2 Mach, but not without damaging itself.
Edit: Not including any orbital vehicles here since there’s a thin line that separates aircraft and spacecraft.

Also partly incorrect. They compete against each other for food, there’s never a clear victor in natural completion. As I said, who outcompetes the other depends on a variety of factors and it’s not a one sided fight. There are over 3000 species of bees in North America alone. It’s not just the Honeybees and the Bumblebees competing.
Also the European Honeybee is in fact suffering mass deaths and disappearances. I encourage you to look up Colony Collapse Disorder, an event in which the majority of the workers either die or disappear due to mechanisms which we still don’t understand, though it could be due to pesticides or mites. Bumblebees do not suffer from CCD for reasons which we again, do not understand.
Do not hit me with the ‘but I did research’. I literally study these types of things as a student. We’re not making this an argument. These are the facts, take them or leave them.
Dang you got this done quick. The only thing that was quicker was me with you mom.
Nah but FR, looks good though.

Why would I do that? Why would anyone do that? You’re just going to post it on your profile anyways, what would anyone get out of that?

Or… crazy idea right? You do the colors. It’s a color palette. It’s not hard.
This gotta be one of the most egregious things I’ve read on this site.

Very nice. If I may ask, are there any plans for updating the 757 or do you have other plans?

@Gabriel747
Poor wording and a misunderstanding, my bad. What I meant to say is that it couldn’t take off under its own power and required a launch.
My honest reaction to this post
You’re really tempting fate, huh?

How so? I double checked and aside from some texture glitching, nothings wrong.

My apologies. I usually take upvotes on teasers as tag requests. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Won’t happen again.

Depends on what you mean by ‘fastest’.
