I’m not sure who the original artist of this is (thank you so much for creating it), but today of all days, I want to make it clear. With me, you are safe. You are valid. You are loved.

I sometimes like to watch the Wired "support" series, and it was interesting to see an NTSB investigator answer some questions

First great looking flying day in a long while… and I’m out of town with my family. Thankful to be out on an adventure with them, but wishing just a little we were back home 😂

These shorter days and work interfering with any plans of midday flying… I now better understand people who suffer from seasonal depression.

Ontario pilots, predictions on the number of flyable VMC days we’ll get this winter? Never had a full winter of flying so hopefully this will be my first.

Yeek. The approach into Brackett's 08 goes right over the racetrack. Glad that nobody was badly hurt.

GA pilots, what’s your go to for new passengers who have never flown in a small plane? Seeing their house from the air is great, but what else? Was toying around with the idea of coming up with a “menu” of sorts to give people a bunch of options they can choose from. Thoughts?

Technically my 5 year old took it but close enough

Post a picture of yourself to show everyone what they’re dealing with

Was too nice of a day not to go fly. Took my oldest to get some of what I hear are amazing butter tarts.

Finally felt like a “real” pilot doing a XC to visit a friend and take him up for his first GA flight and broke 100 hours TT. Got some great views of the Great Lakes as well!
