ohmigosh - so beautiful and so lovely against the green!

Today we will be looking at some of the aircraft on Reves D'espace. Indeed, it was all the airplanes flying around the scarf that initially caught my eye. There are folks who would be able to immediately identify all of these aircraft, but I am not one of those people. Nevertheless, I was able to identify a few of the planes. Feel free to add to the list if you recognize others.

The glider at the very top of the scarf is a Lilienthal hang glider (c. 1896). Otto Lilienthal was one of the first people to fly successfully with winged flying machines. During the 1890s people flocked to see his short flights.

Looking inside the red and green ring we see a large twinjet aircraft located at the 1 o'clock position. This is the Airbus A330 which was produced by Airbus, an aircraft company located in Toulouse, France. The first flight of this plane was November 2, 1992, so it would represent the latest French commercial plane in this 1993 Hermes scarf.

Moving around the ring at the 4 o'clock position, we see a long triangle shaped plane. This is the Concorde, a British-French supersonic passenger airliner that operated from 1969 until 2003. I remember seeing my first Concorde parked at Paris Orly Airport when I was a college student studying abroad. Unfortunately, I never got to ride in this plane.

Below the Concorde at the 5 o'clock position is the Space Shuttle. This was a partially reusable low Earth orbital spacecraft operated from 1981 to 2011 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as part of the Space Shuttle program.

In preparation for my FAA pilot exams I used video training courses from King Schools. At the end of each taped lesson, the instructor would admonish the student pilot to "Stay out of the trees!". My scarf of the day contains these trees, fortunately with no planes hanging in them! Can you tell me where these trees are located??

AMAZING!!
I had NO idea these aircrafts were on this scarf! We sometimes see a man (there's a tiny private airport near us) flying on some sort of contraption (I know I should google what it is, but haven't yet), so it is fascinating to see the Lilienthal hang glider on this scarf!
Well sleuthed!!

As for your mystery scarf - is it Joies d'Hiver?
(I see the beautiful skaters jacquard )

Great posts, today and yesterday, RBH. The identification of the aircrafts is delightful! I am extremely intrigued by your SOTD and can’t wait to find out what it is. The jacquard design is stunning.

My scarf is Reves D'espace, or Dreams of Space, designed by Michel Duchene, and issued in 1993. This scarf is packed with symbols of the history of the human fascination with space and flight. Many thanks to @Living.la.vida.fifi for telling me that a pilot needed this scarf. She is so right.

I will be spending a few days with this scarf, beginning today with the astrolabes pictured in the four corners of the scarf.

The astrolabe is an instrument used to make astronomical measurements, typically of the altitudes of celestial bodies, and was used in navigation for calculating latitude before the development of the sextant. In other words, this useful device can give you the time, date, your location and much more. It was developed during the height of the Roman Empire and remained popular through the 18th century when it was replaced by a combination of accurate clocks and the sextant. It was one of the devices that drove the development of astronomy, by getting more precise astrological predictions. It would have been among the navigational tools used by Christopher Columbus when exploring the New World. Many of the ancient astrolabes recovered today are from shipwrecks of Spanish and Portuguese explorers.

The astrolabe was also widely used in the medieval Islamic world. Muslim astronomers introduced angular scales to the design and circles indicating azimuth on the horizon. It was widely used in the Muslim world as an aid to navigation and as a way of finding the direction of Mecca.

The medieval astrolabe pictured above was made by French instrument maker Jean Fusoris (c. 1365-1436), who also made portable sundials and other popular instruments in his shop in Paris.

Many years ago I purchased a small working astrolabe necklace at a local Renaissance festival. I misplaced the instruction book years ago, but I’m hoping to rediscover the computations that mine can make.

As a symbol of the importance of these navigational instruments in reaching the stars, the original crew of Apollo 13 was pictured with a sextant and an astrolabe.

Wearing red, blue and green again today, because, yes, I adore these colors. Thank you all for the sweet comments.

What a wonderful dissertation, RBH, and your ensemble, including the astrolabe pendant, is lovely. Bold, bright and beautifully coordinated.

Cookiefiend, thank you for identifying these little Kachinas dolls; it enriches my appreciation for my two giant triangle beauties. As for your SOTD, hmmmmm .. not sure but I love the jacquard design. Can’t wait to find out.

And you are indeed correct - it is Quai aux Fleurs! Your prize is a rambunctious smooch from Coco!

Thank you, I appreciate hearing that you're enjoying learning a bit about the Kachinas. I am not 100%, absolutely certain of all of them. I think there was a bit of creative license by KO, and each tribe's Kachinas are slightly different - but most have some similarity to them!

! Gorgeous, Croisette! And that brooch, oh, my. Croisette, is the photo of the scarf flat the same scarf you are wearing or are they two separate and different cws? I appreciate your clarifying this for me because I think there is a cw white with the beige border and a fully white cw, no border.

Thank you Karenska ... these are 2 diff. svarves, the white is plain without border.

beautiful, Foxy, you always choose great scarves!
Wow Agrume ! I say the same of your posts, glad to be in the same company.

Oh, it’s gorgeous, Foxy T, and so is Cite. Congratulations! What lovely browns and autumnal colors. So you now have two cws of Della Cavalleria double-face, right? Didn’t you post a few shots of another one recently?
Thanks Karenska!! I do have two now. I can’t pick a favorite

As I wrote in the other thread, this brown Della Cavalleria is perfect for you. Very WOW! Love the olive sweater background. And that Cite shawl is also sooooo cool.
thanks moma!!! Truly happy with the season and my good fortune in having these beauties
