QATAR AIRWAYS INAUGURATES DOHA–BOGOTÁ–CARACAS SERVICE, BECOMING THE FIRST GULF CARRIER TO SERVE VENEZUELA!
Qatar Airways has officially launched its new South American service, with the inaugural flight arriving in Venezuela on Wednesday, November 4, 2026.
Operated by a Boeing 777-200LR, flight QR783 connects Doha with Bogotá, Colombia, before continuing to Simón Bolívar International Airport in Maiquetía, serving the Venezuelan capital Caracas.
The new service operates twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Sundays, with the following routing:

According to the airline's published schedule:
Doha–Bogotá: 07:35 departure, 16:25 arrival.
Bogotá–Caracas: 17:55 departure, 21:00 arrival.

🌎 A new milestone for Qatar Airways
The launch makes Qatar Airways the first Gulf airline to serve Venezuela. Bogotá and Caracas become its 16th and 17th destinations in the Americas.

Imagine flying the oldest flying aircraft in the world and ending up like this – at least no one was killed
➡️ OTD in 2022: a private DHC-1 Chipmunk is involved in an incident at Bragado (Argentina). Pilot survives, four on the ground injured. On an aerial display, the aircraft´s wing hit an antenna. Pilot was able to land safely, four spectators were injured by falling debris.
At the time of the accident, the aircraft involved [registration LV-NRY] was the oldest flying DHC-1 Chipmunk in the world – Have no info if it was rebuilt
More accidents from this date on the 1st comment, including the “Precision Air” accident in Africa that showed no precision flying, one of the worst crashes in Luxembourg, a very near miss in England, the Britannia testing crash and the Jacksonville Midair collision.

Absolutely magnificent !
#Restauration Le Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace poursuit la restauration de la Caravelle présidentielle du général de Gaulle - la numéro 141/F-RAFG. Elle sort désormais toute belle de l’atelier de peinture.
Affaire à suivre !

This S-92 rejected its takeoff after a loss of power, and the footage shows how quickly it went wrong. It starts as a normal departure. The helicopter is low over the treeline, rotors turning, and it looks like it’s about to climb away. Then the power loss hits, and it never gets away. It starts coming back down above the trees and sinks toward the shore. The descent is fast and steep. It drops through the trees and past the boat sheds with nothing slowing it down, and it hits the ground hard. It looked like a very heavy, violent touchdown 🚁

📹 Watch:
When Joe Tobul purchased an F4U-4 Corsair project in 1981, neither he nor his son, Jim, likely had any idea the number of connections the airplane would create for them.
If you've attended AirVenture Oshkosh or another air show in the last 10-15 years, there’s a high probability you've seen Jim’s spirited solo display in the Corsair or his dual act paired with Scott Yoak in the P-51 Mustang in which they are known as the Class of ’45. 🤘

Meet Walker, a lively two and a half-year-old who can't get enough of airplanes, garbage trucks, monster trucks, and soccer balls! He adores his big sister Acadia and lights up every room with his outgoing spirit!
Despite facing a rare vascular disorder that has led to multiple treatments already, he's got the heart of a champion and hope is on the horizon! Thanks to the @VBirthmarks, he has been given a chance for lifesaving surgery in Italy next year.
Recently, volunteer pilots from Angel Flight Soars & @AngelFlightEast helped transport Walker and his mom for pre-op care at the Laser and Skin Surgery Center of New York. ✈️💖
Look at that joy on Walker's face!
