How nature affects aviation...

[LH-B744]

...let's say since I am a jetphotos member, so not since 1847, but rather .. let's say since January 2010.
[This list doesn't claim to be complete.]

I don't know if all of us really remember what happened back then, in January 2010.

1.
January 12 2010 - Earthquake near Port-au-Prince, magnitude 7.0 . The de wiki says, on that Tuesday at 16:53 local there was a heavy earthquake in Haiti . German Geologists say, the earth was unstable for 35 seconds. The Cathedral of Port au Prince was completely destroyed during that 35 seconds, and it is destroyed until today. Alot of people who visited Haiti already within 48 hours after the earthquake said that it was a blessing that at least the 10/28 rwy at Port au Prince International airport (ICAO: MTPP) was and still is intact. Among them have been
alot of US-Americans and Canadians, who until today provide aviation in Haiti.

And I remember that back then I planned something like an Air Canada B747-400 simulator flight, to also bring the virtual idea of helpers and something to eat to Haiti,
as far as I can remember with a departure at the Dorval Intl airport (ICAO: CYUL) of Montréal.

And I like to repeat this flight, probably before the end of this year.

And what is your #2, or do you have a different #1?

I was once going from Flyover to MSP during a healthy Flyover snowstorm. I don’t remember the airline name, but the initials were TWA. My 10:00 AM flight was delayed to 12:00.

As I walk the concourse, I see “Flight XYZ, MSP, Scheduled 8:00 AM, now 10:00 AM.

I approach the podium with a bound stack of papers and carbon papers…”Got any seats open?” Papers are pulled, typing happens, a printer buzzes, things are stapled and I get to MSP as planned.

ThreeWee Airlines?

I am way more experienced in how aviation affects nature.

Fixed.

[3WE]

I (3BS) use aviation to kill nature.

ThreeWee Airlines?

Actually, it was known as Teeny Weenie Airlines. I used to watch their Connie's heading out early in the morning while I was loading my D-18 with freight heading to the Bahamas at 0400. A beautiful sight and sound.

I don't know if you noted or not. ThreeWee was a reference to 3WE to whom I was replying.
And as a side note, 3WE, aslo known as K3WE, was a now defunct airport from where 3WE (the guy) used to operate.

All that said, I didn't know that people called Teeny Weenie Airlines to Trans World Airlines (TWA). Strange, because it was not precisely a very small airline. According to Wikipedia, at a time TWA was the world's third-largest airline by passenger-miles, behind Aeroflot and United. Was that an internal joke or also people outside of the industry called it like that?

In the industry.

I’m thinking ISO 20XX skills may not_go hand-in-hand with sarcasm.

I think Teenie Weenie Airlines is fairly widely known joke name, the main limiting factor that it’s a fairly obvious.

/3BS technical moment.

I think it's more a bit of language / cultural barrier than anything to do with ISO.
