One last time with feeling. My last fight of 2024 and I’m flying home for Christmas avoiding you know who…🎅🏼… although I travel for a living… it always feels a little special to get home on Christmas Eve. If you’re traveling this holiday or already at home celebrating,I wish you all a very merry Xmas

A slightly unexpected final trip before Christmas. A quick trip to #Vancouver for some last minute Xmas shopping. 🛍️

Was hoping for some snow to get me in the festive mood… but it’s bit wet and mild… more grinch than Whoville.

Anyone else off for a last minute shop?

So I did a thing today…

For those that know me well, this is a big thing for me. Pooped my pants. But the views were absolutely stunning. Had the support of my buddy as we ripped up the beaches and landmarks of #RiodeJaneiro

It’s another day…so it must be another Denver. I’m on a bit of a run of visits to The Mile High City. A quiet one this time as I focus on developing a couple of projects for next year. Hopefully some nice views today too and no wind. What are you up to today online friends ?

This Bomber was converted into an anti-submarine warfare platform. Not the first ASW aircraft but it was one of the first to deploy an anti-submarine technology that is now commonplace. What was that tech ?

A #SundayFunday Space Teaser… This is a good one and an answer that even surprised this AvGeek. What are your thoughts?

This is an easy teaser for a Saturday evening. The Sabre was the first of something… what was it ?

Cannot wait to get home tonight. It’s been a busy week with San Diego at the beginning and Denver at the end. Glad to be getting home before #stormbert hits Heathrow later on Saturday night. See ya in the morning London. 🙌🏻

Did you get it ? It’s the F-104 Starfighter. I’ve had sandwiches thicker than those wings. 😂😂

I’ve just been on a skunk 🦨 works pilgrimage. But what jet are we talking about here?…
