Having long hair acts as insulation in the winter, it's like always wearing an ushanka.

There is no 'agua' in 'avatar', but you can almost make 'Agean' out of 'Pagan'
Is it just me, or is the nose of the 757 EXTREMELY difficult to draw correctly?

When you spend literally an hour talking to your mom about similar national flags and geography and stuff.
When you set your phone's alarm clock with GPWS alerts ("Whoop Whoop Pull Up!")

Maybe, but I know for sure there are Bulgarians orbiting Betelgeuse, and Montenegrins on Mars.
Can polen into space?

Well that is epic
Kiitos! Sinä olet todella mukava! (<Is that accurate? I downloaded Duolingo recently, and am trying to use some of what I've learned so far and what I already know, which isn't really much
)

I don't really remember what I was thinking, maybe I was trying to combine sisulla and kuorma but shortening it in a stupid way?

I think I was trying to add in part of omistaja, and the ä is just for fun. I expected there to be a few errors, but thank you!

A translation for the finnish word "sisu"
Sisulkourmaautojitäinen - Someone with sisu and a Sisu truck. idk I just combined a few Finnish words and an 'ä' to Finnish it off

When you procrastinate studying for school by learning Finnish on Duolingo.

I've had less time to do stuff recently because of school (Especially upcoming midterms and stuff) but I've made a few more drawings:
A310. It took me a while to get the nose right, and it's still a little off.
Svedish Stuff
And an Il-62.

In Katyusha there is absolutely no word about war, only "fighter/soldier" and "border".
Also no word about politics, it's pure lyric.
I was more referring to "Allah, Syria, and Bashar" and "Oj Alija Aljo" as more political songs and not Katyusha, but yes.

Yesterday (Sorry, not today) I went to JFK to try some planespotting. I didn't really see any takeoffs, landings, or ground movements in general(too hard to get close and my phone's camera is kind of crappy), but I found a park on the approach path where planes fly REALLY low over your head. I saw a BA 777, a LOT 787, a ton of JetBlue A321s, (And more, I won't list all of them) and more interestingly, 2 PC12s and a TAP A320 neo. It was interesting to see an A320 from a European airline in the US.

You already got the gotten, but you don't got the get.
I wish planespotting was easier.

Airplane Plus or Tweakscale
Favorite Indian plane (Yes they make them)

Stratosphere. I like the Stratofortress.
Favorite country flag?

Cool! I got a little laugh out of the second comic. Yet I still use Windows.
I guess you could say I have a little OCD, since whenever I draw a vehicle in a countryball comic (or just art) I have to draw it realistically. No cartoonish airplanes or generic-looking trucks on my watch. The missile truck and firetruck are WIP, hence the unfinished coloring.
The firetruck and A320 are just in the background, not even part of the punchline or the main point in the panel (The green thing in front of the A320 is Brazil, taking up most of the panel) Still, they have to be realistic. I'm a nerd.
-
Not much. I worked a tiny bit on a WIP countryball comic, checked out some r/aviation posts, and watched some videos about Papers, please. It looks like an interesting game.

Now wait a minute, FAA is an US agency! It doesn't operate in Finland }:(
I also noted ICAO. I did forget EASA though
. Olen pahoillani!
Also on another completely different random thought... I've noticed most of my favorite songs (mostly folk songs, a few patriotic songs and stuff) are from Communist and Socialist countries (Katyusha-USSR, When we were at war-USSR, Allah, Syria, and Bashar-Syria, sort of socialist/dictator-ish I think basically, Oj Alija Aljo-Serbia/Yugoslavia, Footsteps-DPRK, etc.) Now, obviously, what qualifies as 'good music' is subjective, but most people can probably agree that these songs sound good, regardless of the meaning of their lyrics or the things they support. I was thinking, and thought, ~70% joking and 30% seriously, that these songs were all so good because actually living under these governments kind of sucks, so you have to make great songs to forget about the crappy living conditions. I know this probably isn't why, but it's interesting to think about.

I got a sketchbook for Christmas, so I tried drawing something. I started with a Hawaiian A321, but the woman on the tail is difficult to draw and I gave up on that temporarily, so I ended up drawing a ton of random stuff. It kind of looks like my brain; mostly planes, some countryballs, and some stuff in other languages, none of it very organized.
Also if you look below the text that says "HAWAIIAN AIRLINES A321" you'll see an attempt at a 3D drawing of a 737-200 that looks more like a Me 262 combined with a CJ4.
I'm going to try drawing an Air China 747 next on a new sheet or maybe a 747SP of some Arab airline or something.
I'm really the only one posting on here at this point.

On a different note, I wonder how many people realize that nuclear power plants don't and can't explode like nuclear bombs.
