This week was 46 years since the deadly 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. @ingallswx.bsky.social came on the show last night armed with local knowledge and his own stories of climbing the volcano. What a crazy thing this was! youtu.be/vHwF-uR-blc

My job title has been officially changed from flight control operator to flight control meteorologist. My job duties don’t change, this just better reflects my contributions at Windborne Systems. I’m excited to be in a place where my expertise is valued!
