The B-52H produces almost double the thrust the prototype B-52s used to produce
XB-52/YB-52: 8700lbf/engine
B-52H: 17000lbf/engine

737-100 it’s a beast
When selecting Flaps 1 from Flaps 0 on the A320 family aircraft, the flaps will extend (Flaps 1+F) when the airspeed is below 100kts; above that only the slats (Flaps 1) will come out.
Going from Flaps 2 to Flaps 1 will also extend the flaps when below 210kts, above that only the slats will activate.
Flaps Full on the A320 family is 35 degrees, except for the A319 and A320neo where it is 40 degrees.

JAL’s A350-900s, despite being derated and having a reduced MTOW, actually have a higher thrust-to-weight ratio than the standard 280t A350-900 (from 2020, before that the 280t version was only an option for the ULR), if my calculations are correct.
217/280 = 77.5% of original MTOW (in metric tons)
74300 (rounded to the nearest hundred)/84200 = 88.2% of original thrust available (in lbf)

ANA A380-1000D when?
Most likely not, since most Japanese airports are unable to accommodate the A380.
Also, production of the type has already ended.
Conversion go brr.
Bring back the 747D.

JAL seems to use the callsign JAL8132 for most, if not all of its retirement ferry flights.
This was from a few days ago when JA702J was (sadly) sent to the scrapyard.
JA711J’s final flight to the desert indeed carried the same flight number as well.
JA007D’s flight to its resting place involved a stop at Honolulu as it was of the shorter-range standard 777-200 (non-ER) variant; that as well also operated as JL8132.
