I had the privilege of finishing my training & checking out on the Consolidated PBY Canso yesterday. One of WWII’s great flying boats, this one was built in Montreal in 1944 and has an extensive history of military and waterbomber service. Looking forward to flying passenger rides in summer 2027!

Just now: On final for runway 28L at SFO parallel with another airplane. Runway clears. Autopilot off. Locked in and grease it. Steady braking and reverse for the roll out. Man, I love this life. I’m so so lucky to do it.

Took my first Harvard passengers flying today. Two rides to consolidate the training. Felt good to lock in the confidence! Only told him he was my first Harvard passenger after the ride 😉

Heard a C172 report an engine failure near New Jersey while monitoring 121.5 tonight. He was trying to make a field but not sure if he made it. First time hearing a real emergency on guard.

A flat-earther challenged me about the earth being round today (in person!) Most of my answers were “because of gravity” but it’s hard to gain any ground with someone who doesn’t believe you can prove gravity is real…

I miss when Instagram was mostly people posting pictures of their cats or sunsets. Stop trying to sell me so much shit.

Helps to visualize it all for me! I have a similar drawing for an immediate return for the A220!

Every complex airplane I’ve ever flown I’ve always found drawing out the procedures, especially the circuit, help organize my thoughts. Crosswind circuits in the Harvard on deck for Friday morning.

Got back into the North American Harvard today. A full recurrent with advanced stalls and circuits. That airplane demands respect and attention. What a workout 😮‍💨

Little pet peeve of mine. Professional pilots in uniform with backpacks. Just looks bad to me. Roll your bag, sir. 🤷‍♂️
