Just a pilot doing aviation stuff in the PNW who also works on cool 🚆🚲🚶 projects. (He/Him/His)

Spent the night watching the aurora borealis dancing among the stars from cruise altitude

Happy Solstice! Excited for the days to get longer again 🙌

Glad I got to fly the A220 (fmr Bombardier CSeries) for the first time yesterday and enjoyed this view over Lake Superior!

It definitely feels like sunsets have been extra early this winter! Who do we speak to about this?

An underrated form of self-care is not looking at the CAD-USD exchange rate right now 😬

Really cool categorization of the table
Updated periodic table with origin of elements in the Solar System (for boron and lithium at least)

Lightning and thunder in Vancouver means you get to gaze in darkness outside ⚡️💥🌩️

Listen to the end for the rolling thunder and hail after the flash.

Haven’t been on here in 7 months but I guess this is where other aviators are hanging out!

Managed to catch the launch of a #SpaceX rocket when I was down in LA earlier this week. Was surreal to see it in person. The speed of the launch was what caught my attention — that wasn’t no plane #space #aviation

For the past three days, it starts to hail every time I step outside. Idk what it means but I’m taking it as a sign of something alright. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Coming back to flight training after 2 mos of work, holidays, and weather getting in the way >>>

If there’s one thing about #aviation that I love is how disciplined and learning-forward the field can be. Also, the community’s goofy humor 😂.

Not the usual #aviation post but I did see this cute little fella during a sunrise walk in the marina the other day.

Just west coast things!

I’ve definitely failed the "don't bond with a flying robot on another planet 349.7mn Km away" challenge.

72 flights over 1004 days in an atmos ~1/64th the density of 🌎's, when only 5 flights over 30 sols (~31 days) were planned.

If anyone in the #avgeek world on here is on PS5/4 and likes #aviation related games (or others too really), add me: anakin-panakin

Also, here’s the sunrise over Greenland, took this from the back of a 787🤙

No thoughts just pretty 777-300ER wing flex and raked wingtips as the deep blue makes way for the first light.

Watching Top Gun Maverick on a flight home might be a little on the nose, but it’s a great way to pass 2 hrs in economy!

Watching a 777-200LR on push back and start-up — gotta take a moment to admire the beauty of that bird.

This isn’t the best view with the glare but the roar of those GEs coming to life can’t be mistaken! #aviation #boeing

Nothing makes me feel more like a grown up than sitting down to write holiday cards for friends to go along with their gifts.

All while having the fireplace channel playing Christmas jazz in the background 🎄☃️

For Canadian 🇨🇦 domestic flights — my #1 airline of 2023 has to be Porter with Air Canada coming in #2 (but only on 777 and 787 service).

The E2 Embraer jets that Porter uses are SO good, plus the onboard service, free⚡️wifi, great legroom, and free🍸. Top tier. #aviation

Gotta say — Delta is really underrated. Free (fast and reliable) wifi for Skymiles members, good IFE, and decent legroom on their A321NEOs, (really good) E175, and CRJ900.

Except for the wild JFK concourse experiences, hands down economy and comfort+ experiences.

Gotta make the first BlueSky post count - here’s a blue sea.
