Spain’s Iberia unveils new uniforms for flight attendants
Spanish carrier Iberia has unveiled new uniforms for flight attendants and ground staff. Nearly 7,000 Iberia employees will wear Teresa Helbig-designed uniforms beginning June 2022.  
According to the airline, new uniforms are the culmination of the airline’s rebranding process, which started in 2013. The uniform collection includes twenty garments: dresses, skirts, trousers, coats, and accessories – scarves, ties, bags, and gloves. 
“We have created this proposal out of emotion, because flying and designing are very similar: both try to materialize dreams. We did not conceive of these pieces as mere uniforms, but as garments that, in addition to being comfortable and functional, are flattering, and can maintain their style and elegance over the years”, Teresa Helbig said.

Lithuanians successfully collect €5 million to offer Bayraktar drone to Ukraine
In less than four days, the Lithuanian media channel Laisves TV achieved what it hoped to do in three weeks: on the evening of May 28, 2022, the fundraiser to buy a Bayraktar TB2 armed drone for the Ukrainian armed forces reached its goal of €5 million.
The money will now be transferred to the Lithuanian Ministry of Defense. Representatives from the ministry will travel to Turkey to meet their counterparts and the drone maker Baykar Technologies and sign the firm order for one Bayraktar TB2 drone and some ammunition.
The aircraft will eventually be delivered to the Ukrainian armed forces currently fighting back the invasion of their country by Russia.

Aviation Quote

It appears that there are enormous differences of opinion as to the probability of a failure with loss of vehicle and of human life. The estimates range from roughly 1 in 100 to 1 in 100,000. The higher figures come from the working engineers, and the very low figures from management. . . .
Only realistic flight schedules should be proposed, schedules that have a reasonable chance of being met. If in this way the government would not support them, then so be it. NASA owes it to the citizens from whom it asks support to be frank, honest, and informative. . . .
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.


- Richard P. Feynman, 'Personal Observations on Reliability of Shuttle,' Volume II, Appendix F to the official US Government Report of the Presidential commission of the Space Shuttle Challenger Accident, issued 6 June 1986.
