Too nice of an afternoon to stay on the ground. A perfect evening dinner flight with @avgeeksnaps.bsky.social #100dollarhamburger

I travel A LOT for work. Normally it’s fly, meetings, fly home. This trip there was time for exploring. Paris is absolutely amazing. I still don’t know how I got here but I love it! #Gratitude #worktrip #theypaymeforthis😎

Had an amazing night at @NATCA’s Archie League Awards tonight. Think of it as the Oscars for ATC. They highlight professionalism under pressure of an emergency to ensure a safe outcome. It was a great way to end a week at #CFS2025

So as I posted earlier, the kid I took to Oshkosh took to it like a fish and water. His spark for aviation grew into a raging fire, and he started taking pictures and they are phenomenal. Give him a follow at @avgeeksnaps.bsky.social Photos to start being posted soon!

If you go on a fishing trip you fish more than once. I’m on a flying trip, so I made sure I went flying today! Took some friends as well. #OSH25

Brought the middle kid to #OSH25 he wanted to come with me and he likes airplanes. Understanding a 14 year old might get bored I was prepared to leave early if we needed to. However, what happened was OSH was like pouring gasoline on a smoldering fire. Photos are his.

I’m extremely grateful for what I get to do for a job. This week of work I spent it in meetings with Airbus and other industry partners discussing a new way to plan flights across the ocean to save fuel. The just happened to be hosted by Air France. A few days in Paris was amazing.

In-laws live on the downwind-base turn to 8L in ATL. I caught this today when watching airplanes with my son. Really cool to see the wake make a hole in the cloud. No worries. The cloud quickly repaired itself. It was an A339 from CDG. #avgeek

The apple doesn’t fall from the tree. Window seat and @ForeFlight. My #avgeek is starting to rub off on him.

Technology is amazing, I’m in a machine that is currently 32,000 feet in the air over the North Atlantic, moving at 82% the speed of sound, and sending this photo. Sometimes I just sit back in awe. #Gratitide

As we start in another season of Lent I always think of different ways to make some changes. This Lent I am removing color from my phone in the hopes of using it less. #ashwednesday2025

This NOTAM explains why it was a pain to try and get fuel this evening, yes I read my NOTAMs, but this was issued after I took off 🤣

Why do smoke detector batteries always go low voltage at night time??? Is it really have to do with temperature impacting the batteries charge level???

My oldest became an Eagle Scout today. I’m immensely proud of him. Best still he just turned 17 and has 10 months left in the program to show off his badge! #ProudDad

Great evening for some altitude seeking. It was chilly which made the airplane happy. Climbed really well. Flew over an airport and there was a blimp parked there. So I landed to snap a few photos. #Flying

Had a unique day yesterday. Crossed the date line west to east which allowed a SUPER long Friday. 32 stand hours is a new record for me. #TimeTravel

After four long years of being grounded, I’ve managed to fly for a whopping 4.5 hours in just the past two days. It’s been an incredible experience!

With some hope this horrible streak of not acting as pilot in command will end this week…

At a Scout outing, needed to make and set up an orienteering course for the boys. Used google earth to pick the points and Foreflight to get the bearings.

Every month or so I go camping with the boys scout troop. It’s nice to unplug, get away and watch my boys grow. #camping #hammock

This gap in flying has been long but I think the light is finally getting bigger at the end of this tunnel.
