Hilda fans are simply incredible!!

A Hilda fan here in Toronto may have just made one of the largest and most expensive pieces of fanart there ever has been for not just this show...but for any recent cartoon! averagecessnapilot on the Hilda server took a Piper PA-38 and flew it from Toronto Billy Bishop airport to near Lake Scugog and drew a giant Woff with the flightpath! It's over 20 Km long (or 12.4 Freedom miles for anyone in Big Mac land)! I was in downtown for a class but had I known this was gonna happen, I'd probably have popped by the lakeshore to watch homie here take off to draw a giant ass Woff, lmao!!

This makes me so happy as both a Hilda fan and a long time avgeek!

Seriously, if this doesn't convince you to go watch Hilda, IDK what will!

Edmonton Oilers -> Home

The Oilers did not choose to travel home last night after their game two against LA. They departed LAX at 10:48 a.m. The total estimated flight duration is 2h 50m. They should arrive in Edmonton (YEG) at 2:38 p.m. MDT.

The Montreal Canadiens did not travel after the game last night. They waited until this morning, departing Washington (IAD) at 11:12 a.m. EDT and arriving in Montreal (YHU) at 12:35 EDT.

The Washington Capitals departed Washington (IAD) at 1:59 p.m. EDT and are currently en route. They should arrive in Montreal (YUL) at 3:32 p.m. EDT. Note that the Canadiens flew into a different airport (YHU) than the Capitals are flying into (YUL).

Flight number: DAL8958 Flight duration: Est. 1hr 33m Aircraft: Boeing 757

Carolina Hurricanes -> New Jersey

Unfortunately, I don't have flight number information on the Carolina Hurricanes. If they play a Canadian team in a subsequent round I should be able to narrow it down. Currently, there are too many planes that flight from Raleigh to New Jersey, and there are too many airports in the New York/New Jersey area.

New York has some of the busiest airspace in the world which makes it incredibly challenging to narrow down.

I may try to find it again when I have a bit more free time on my hands.

LA King -> Edmonton

The Los Angeles Kings were departed at 12:11 p.m. PDT. They are flying from LAX to YEG. They should arrive in Edmonton at 4:19 p.m. MDT.

flightaware.com is genuinely one of the coolest websites I've ever seen. It tracks ALL flights, worldwide. This is useful for a lot of things (I usually send a link to my flight on here to family when I travel so they can track it/get notified of delays), but most importantly it is so fun to look at.

This is the map right now. All of these flights? Tracked in real time. You can watch a single flight of course but I find it much more fun to use the copious amount of filters available to poke around.

The Avalanche’s flight from Dallas -> Denver.

Game 3 on Thursday.
