🎄✈️ Festive Message to our Drones and Planes Family 🚁🎄

As 2025 comes to a close, we just want to take a moment to say a huge thank you to every single one of you who has supported Drones and Planes this year.

Whether you’ve been watching the livestreams, liking and sharing the reels, commenting on posts, or simply following along and enjoying the content — your support genuinely means the world. This channel wouldn’t be what it is without such an amazing community of aviation enthusiasts.

From early mornings to late evenings capturing aircraft movements, special visitors, and everyday aviation moments, your encouragement has made all the effort worthwhile. Seeing the channel grow in 2025 has been incredibly rewarding, and it’s all down to you.

Thank you for being part of the journey, for your positivity, and for sharing the passion for aviation. We're really excited for what’s to come in 2026 — there’s plenty more flying your way!

Special thanks to all the mods: past and present - thank you for giving up your time to ensure our livestream chats were friendly and fun.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, a relaxing festive period, and a Happy New Year 🎆

We'll be back from the 10th January as we take some well-needed time out.

Clear skies and smooth flights ahead!

— John and Paul (Vision Thing) ✈️🚁

*** STREAMING SCHEDULE W/C 15 DEC ***

Hi all

Just the one stream this week and it’ll be on Friday 19 December, starting at 0600 (ish). Simon and Lizz have kindly offered us their Friday morning slot.

This stream is likely to be the last one for 2025 as we’re away next week until the New Year.

Hope to see you on Friday!

It's still 1980's-based questions, so good luck! 🤞

What was the world’s largest passenger aircraft in active service during the 1980s?

*** STREAMING SCHEDULE THIS WEEK - w/c 8 DEC ***

Morning all! Happy Monday...

As mentioned on Saturday's stream, we will only be able to stream on Saturday 13 December this week.

I'll be starting and finishing a bit earlier (probably run from 13:30 - 16:30) as I have a Christmas function on Saturday evening.

Thanks again for the support, and see you on Saturday!

Cheers

*** STREAMING SCHEDULE THIS WEEK - w/c 1 DEC ***

As mentioned on Saturday's stream, we'll only be out on Saturday 6 December this week.

Probably starting at around 15:00 as have some things to attend to on Saturday morning.

Our normal 2-3 streams per week schedule will resume in the New Year but between now and then, once a week is all I can commit to.

Thanks for your understanding and support

John and the team.

Just realised that we didn't have the quiz question this week, so here it is... better late than never! 🕰️

Over the next few weeks, the quizzes are going to be themed 🤓

So, the next 4 weeks (so pretty much all of December) will be questions based on the 1980's.

So, here's the first one - good luck and please don't post the answer in the comments.

Which Boeing aircraft was designed in the 1980s to *replace* the 707 for military and commercial use?
