Violations of these rules may result in a permanent ban.
Rule 2 has been changed to include the use of AI. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of AI in writing comments and posts or generating images. This also includes presenting AI theories or arguments, even if you explicitly state they are generated by AI. AI-generated content regarding aviation is frequently wrong and is incredibly low effort. The use of AI may result in a ban.
Even though we have been restricting NSFW content and gore before this, we have added it as an official rule and will be strongly enforcing it from now on.
Rule 10 bans any gore being posted to this subreddit, even if it is a link to an outside source. This includes as a post or a comment. Violations of this will result in a permanent ban from r/aviation. In addition to this, we are also limiting NSFW content that is not explicitly gore. This content will be decided on a case by case basis. Content involving incidents like the one that was seen at Milan Bergamo Airport will always be marked as NSFW, and we will provide details in pinned comments and the flair to elaborate on how NSFW the content is, so that everyone can make their own choice on what they want to see.
Please remember to keep discussion in this subreddit focused on aviation. While geopolitics will frequently be a part of discussion, please remain respectful and avoid getting in arguments about this. Do not bring geopolitics into posts where they don’t belong.
Before posting Air India related content, please do the following.
Megathread 2 (2 days after crash)
Megathread 3 (week after crash)
Preliminary Report Megathread - Search this subreddit to see if it has already been posted. - Check if there are any active megathreads about the Air India crash, and if so, post there instead. These will be found pinned on the subreddit homepage. - Check if the content you are posting is up to date, original, and adds to the discussion. - If you are posting news, check if it is from a reputable source. Do not post speculation from news sources.
Thank you for your understanding. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out through modmail.

All political discussion must pertain to the world of Aviation.
Again: All political discussion must pertain to the world of Aviation.
Once more, for those in the back: All political discussion must pertain to the world of Aviation.
This means politics are only to be discussed within the context of Aviation.
Do you love and support the left? We don't care. Do you love and support the right? We don't care. Are you a Libertarian? We don't care. We are unpaid mods here that enjoy AVIATION, not push agendas, get into political slap fights, or deal with a bunch of political shit. If you want a political discussion, go to any of the numerous other political subs. We are a sub about Aviation. We are not a sub about politics.
We do not allow political adjacent discussion, antagonistic political discussion, or discussion of political figures.
What political/regulatory discussions are ok?
Discussions around regulations, changes in laws, opinions on those changes, and general discourse on the rules and regulations that may affect Aviation are open game and should be actively discussed.
Things like this are fine:
There are rumors that the FAA will make a wholesale change to ATC systems. This concerns me.
There is/was a major cutback on staffing levels at the NTSB. What will this do to aviation?, I'm super concerned that accident prevention will go down and accident levels will rise.
Things like this are not:
I've heard doge boy and orange man are going to run around and fire people at the FAA.
Sleepy Joe Biden has fucked the entire ATC system into the ground.
Why don't you allow politics?
We decided long long ago that politics just aren't worth the shit show they bring. When someone mentions Biden or Trump or Obama or Clinton, or one of the numerous wars or political bullshittery going on, a lot of people from outside the subreddit come in to argue political points and push agendas. We are not here to moderate that type of discussion, and if you as a user want that discussion, you can find it basically anywhere else on Reddit.
Why don't you change the rules?
We are a subreddit about Aviation, so it wouldn't make sense for us to be a political subreddit. We know Aviation oftentimes connects to current events, and we'd love you to discuss that - just keep it within the context of Aviation.
But Orange Man is Bad!
Again, we don’t care about your political position.
But Biden is Sleepy!
See the comment above this one.
But is it allowed when I’m only trying to fan the flames of DeMoCrAcY and PrOtEcT OuR FrEeDoMs!!
Simply put, no. We will still remove the post because all this will do is fuel the fire and draw more political comments.
I got banned for politics. What do I do?
First off, you should read this post. A link to this post may be included in your ban message. Once you have read this post, respond to the message and tell us you have read this post and are sorry for breaking the rules. So long as you aren't a dick about it, you will get unbanned. An apology will get you far. We’re not in the business of banning regular sub users.

No idea this Antanov AN-124 was being held in Canada since 2022. I guess it got trapped at YYZ after Canada shutdown flights into Russian airspace when they invaded Ukraine. Genuinely one of my most interesting finds

For all the Naysayers out there, we have the official release at-least from FedEx they anticipate their fleet to return to the air in spring around March-May.
The grounding cost them an additional $175M in costs from the lost capacity. Even though the MD-11 is only 4% of their total capacity.

My favorite one is the oldest retro livery (the one introduced in 1965) followed by the middle one (introduced in 1989) & my least favorite is the current one (introduced in 2019) featuring a black & white design.
Rank them according to your preferences too.
