I guess they really didn’t want to miss that exit.
So I was on my 748th flight today and it was operated by an A318. Gave me a chuckle.

The A220 would like a wordbiggest Boeing (747-8) & smallest Airbus
And yes, France: CDG-FCO.
You should look that up! ? The 318 really is a baby. A chubby one, admittedly, but still smaller than even the A220-100.The A220 would like a word

I was going by MTOW, to underline its chubbiness ?
Fair enough. But then, the A220 is a Bombardier anyway. ?

Have you ever wondered if there was an aircraft where you had to look over your shoulder to land? Well, wonder no more...

That is all.
That first one is a Russian “Sapsan” train, i.e. “Peregrine Falcon”. My nerd brain gave an extra chuckle.

In Moscow Station, St Petersburg. The other is outside Halle Hbf, heading for Berlin.
So this is what a water cannon salute looks like from the inside!

^That is cool. I have experienced that twice in one day. I was on Scandinavian Airline's farewell flight for the MD-80 series of aircraft, and we were given a water cannon salute both when departing Oslo while taxing to the runway, and while taxing to gate in Copenhagen.

The closest I've gotten to that is de-icing spray.

It's much less fun on a boat
and fireship watercannons can easily take up airport firetrucks in a fight...
That calls for a reaction emoji we do not have on the list:
That stuff stinks to high heaven! Literally, even.
