Had a good Saturday. Not pictured: coffee, muffin, borek, poodles, sourdough and chocolate milk. 😋👌🛩️

Avgeek bucket list item ✅ tonight. 🤓👌

A visit to the tower at Melbourne International Airport (YMML). No pics allowed from the cab unfortunately. 🥲 The view was incredible. 🤩

Decided to celebrate my 100th hour in Cirrus SR20s with a $100* hamburger. 😆👌🛩️🍔

*(actually >$100)
A white Cirrus aircraft is parked on a grass airfield. In the foreground is a tree, with a dog lying on the ground in the shade. A hamburger in a brown paper bag in the foreground, and a milkshake in a striped cup in the background. A white wing of a light aircraft flies over urban streets, the city skyline can be seen in the distance. A screenshot of a pilot's logbook, showing 101.5 hours in a Cirrus SR20.

This is Coco, and her favourite toy 'Donkey'. At 12 years old, I'm hoping she grows out of the puppy stage some day soon. 😆

Does this count? 😋
A newly delivered helicopter fuselage, partially covered by protective sheets is being lifted onto its wheels by a crane. The main rotor blades are yet to be installed.

A lovely day yesterday for an IFR day trip. ☁️🌥️🛩️☁️☁️
The view out the window of a flying aircraft. Overcast sky sits above, with some scattered cumulus below. Green and brown fields are either side of a river mouth. A silver light aircraft wing in the left foreground. A view over the nose of a silver light aircraft flying near the coast of a body of water. The spinning propeller can be seen. Beyond is some distant scattered cumulus clouds, the sky above is overcast.

Our neighbours here at work had a new heli delivered this week. The first Airbus H160 I've seen in person; looking forward to seeing it fly! 🚁
A brand new rotor-less helicopter fuselage with various protective coverings attached is being lowered by a crane back onto its wheels after being lifted from a large truck trailer.

Tantalisingly close to hitting ≥100 hours on both Cirrus platforms... Should I go out and do one very quick circuit in an SR20? 😄👌🛩️
Image of a pilots logbook and tallied hours on various aircraft. One is circled, highlighting 99.9 hours.

Flying past Melbourne CBD is always lovely. Flying out to rescue a broken plane.
The white wingtip of a light plane floats above the blue water of Port Phillip Bay. Beyond the end of the wingtip Melbourne City can be seen. A blue sky with scattered white cumulus clouds is above.

Good day flying, today. ☁️🌤️🛩️☁️☁️
Looking from the cockpit of a light plane towards the white cowling and the spinning propeller. Stratus clouds are above, scattered cumulus below. Green farmland can be seen to the left and below the aircraft. A white wing of a light plane is centre of frame, clouds can be seen in the distance and above. Green farmland can be seen below.

Today is my 10 year @pocketcasts.com anniversary! 🤯

It appears I have listened to a LOT of podcasts - almost all at 1.5x. 😁👌

A lovely afternoon flight today, just because! 😆
A pilot of a light plane takes an in-flight selfie. A silver wing of a light plane in flight can be seen out the aircraft's window. The low setting sun can be seen reflecting off of calm water. An overcast sky is seen above a peninsula with many houses, taken from an airborne silver light plane.

Cold, yet sunny mornings are lovely... sometimes. 👨‍🔧🥶🛩️
A shaft of golden sunrise light illuminates part of a white Cirrus aircraft parked in an otherwise dark hangar.

Was a great day for an engine run-in flight! 🛩️
Pilot of a small aircraft with glasses and a short beard takes a selfie. Out the aircraft's window is the white wing and clouds. A rocky cliff coastline viewed from a thousand feet high. Viewed from a couple of thousand feet, a slightly arched bridge joins an island to the mainland at high tide. A white aircraft wing appears in the lower left of the frame.

Such a nice day today. 🌞 Perfect day to give my friend's plane a wash! 🛩️🧽😎👍
A garden hose in the foreground sprays a jet of water over the empennage of a silver general aviation aircraft. In the background is an open hangar and beautiful blue skies with whispy white clouds.
