"Bad Map Projection: The United Stralia" by @XKCD comic - A mashmap of USA🇺🇸 & Australia🇦🇺 with no apparent purpose except to merge Melbourne cities in Victoria and Florida. (Fellow pilots @WesleyEllery & @l8on_p will like this from each of those.) #maps#mapgeek#WTF
On a weekend that I was supposed to be in Abisko, Sweden and the Lofoten Islands in Norway, this is insane to see. The timing for me to be here was right with the geomagnetic storm happening, but the hurricane in Florida said otherwise!
Absolutely MIND-BLOWING #aurora visiting us in Arctic Norway thanks to recent solar activity. Breathtaking colours evident to the unaided eye, unlike any I've seen in the #northernlights before. Chasing in Lofoten with @Hurtigruten.
Operational Update/3 – Hurricane Milton
Our airport will cease commercial operations on Wednesday morning, in advance of Hurricane Milton. This move was made in coordination with our partners. We will resume commercial operations as soon as it is safe.

Had such a great time in Los Angeles this weekend. Planes, amazing people and endless fun. Thankful for such a great community of people who have a great love of airplanes. Thanks @NYCAviation for organizing such a great event! #avgeek#SpotLAX2024@flyLAXairport
So glad I was able to see @flying_briann at @flyLAXairport today! Long ago are the days of us flying together in Florida. Super proud of everything he continues to do in aviation. #dorkfest#spotlax2024#avgeek
Found my way to Paris over Labor Day weekend! A short 3 days, but I had an absolute blast (except getting sick on my last day!) Ran into my cousin from Australia on the first day, which I think was the highlight! Super cool to catch up with him in this incredible city 🇫🇷
Found myself back in a 172 finally! Spent Saturday in the right seat coaching a friend through some instrument approaches and holds, and even flew some myself from the right seat. Ended a fun day flying around Florida with a mega rainbow over Kissimmee on the way back in! #avgeek
Knocked out 58 landings in this Aeronca Champ on Sunday! The most landings I have ever done in a single day. Still have plenty to work on, especially pavement landings. But it is good I still know how to safely fly Tailwheels! #avgeek
Happy #NationalAviationDay! Flying to me would be nothing without the amazing people I have shared this incredible journey with along the way. Words can’t even begin to describe how grateful I am. #avgeek
I’m a Commercial Multi-Engine Pilot! Another milestone on this wild and crazy adventure that I love so much. So much more learning and experiences to come!! #avgeek
Kelly was CEO of Rockwell Collins (now Collins Aerospace) when I first started there. I am a firm believer having someone who has been involved directly in the engineering process (Kelly is a mechanical engineer) is the correct person to lead a company like this.
Oshkosh 2024! What a fantastic experience for my second year. So thankful for all the friends I got to see, and of course all the airplanes! #avgeek#OSH24
