Does anyone know what is happening in this video?
I was on a flight from Barcelona to Paris and took this video of a plane that we passed. It looks like there is black smoke coming from the other plane. Why is this?

Ah yes..

What kind of plane is this?
This is my dad standing next to his plane he owned for a while before buying a jet. I was about 9-10 years old at the time. I’m not sure what kind this is but before he owned this plane, he owned several King Air’s. He loved King Airs.

What plane is this?
I didn't get a chance to stop and read the sign as I was just passing through. It originally struck me as a Mirage F1, but I'm not sure now that I look at it.

Any high quality pictures of P3 Orions (American, ideally with the old high-vis color setup)
My father flew P3s back in the early 80s (VP49 out of Jacksonville, FL)..
He has some pictures back from then, but he's looking for some new pictures of the Orion. I've sent him a few I've found on here, but he's looking for something new and higher definition for his new laptop wallpaper. 4K screen, and I'd like him to have something better than 1080ps blown up or scans from 1983 pictures.

Why are solar planes not catching on yet?
EDIT: I'm not talking about commercial flight. I'm talking about small recreational aircraft, like a glider that can power itself and keep going as long as there's sun.
Yesterday I watched videos about the world solar challenge (solar car race) and was absolutely mesmerized.
Then I wondered about the state of solar planes (and human powered aircraft), and found some data saying an ultralight human powered aircraft can stay in the air with as little as 250-300 watts (albeit very slowly, with high ratio wings). Seeing as you can get way more power than 300 watts out of a solar plane, why have solar planes not caught on? When I looked into it, they've existed for over a decade now! I would absolutely LOVE to see an airplane version of the world solar challenge! I bet with a really good efficient design like they have for the cars you could get some little solar planes going kinda speedy on pure solar power.
