#Aviation is my religion. Here I am in touch with a higher power known as Lycoming.
Flying in a Piper Arrow over Algonac, Michigan. The Saint Clair River below is deep blue. The town looks bustling from afar. The skiy is clear with a bit of high wispy cirrus clouds. Visibility to the horizon is pretty darn clear. The white wing of the aircraft appears in the bottom right of the picture. We flew over the US, but since our flight was from Canadian airport to Canadian airport, we never actually entered the US.

With the weather cooling down, can we all agree that all things of a holly jolly nature aren’t allowed until AFTER Remembrance Day? Personally I’d asked to wait until December 1, but I know that’s a big ask for some of you.

The world’s largest battery-electric aircraft flew for the first time on the 12th of August, a 27-minute test flight over upstate New York that cost about five dollars in electricity. Heart Aerospace’s 30-seat prototype is a big step toward a commercial version. buff.ly/i3f0PhR #ShareGoodNewsToo

I had the opportunity to fly into Ottawa International Airport yesterday to attend the Gatineau Airshow. They showcased the next generation of the Canadian Snowbirds. Those Siskins are going to be incredible! What an agile bird with a delightful noise attitude. I’m so excited! #avgeek #aviation

Somehow, I captured an insane video of the Snowbirds & CWHM Lancaster flying in Toronto today from Humber Bay. Let me tell you… the PC-21s are going to sound insane compared to the Tutors. Those jets are gracefully quiet. Siskins are unapologetically loud. Happy hibernation Snowbirds! #aviation

I rarely get angry, but today I am seething. As a former Royal Canadian Air Cadet, I owe so much of my growth to this program. Bullying and body-shaming teenage women isn't leadership. It's cowardly and despicable. Cadets Canada builds young people up. There is no room for this kind of malice.

A Rona location posted that they’re 100% Canadian owned & that any posts saying otherwise are false. I politely pointed out that while stores are locally owned, the brand is owned by a US private equity firm. Maybe I’m an a-hole but the post was misleading. I was rapidly censored… by a Rona store.

I’m revisiting the masterpiece of a video gaming known as Mass Effect 1. I jumped into the Sol system. Pluto makes an appearance. It lost its planet status about 15 months prior to the release of the game, so BioWare was very careful with their phrasing on the data sheet.
A picture of a computer monitor. The image is of the surface of Pluto.

The text reads: “Pluto is one of Sol’s numerous “ice dwarf” worlds. It is mainly of note for being the gravitational “anchor” for the Prothean mass relay to Arcturus. Pluto and the Charon Mass Relay (formally encased in ice, and considered a moon) orbit each other. Pluto’s orbit was circularized in 2157 as a side effect of the Charon Mass Relay recovery operation operations.

Population (gateway stations): 9300

Orbital Distance: 39.5 AU
Orbital Period: 247.7 Earth Years
Radius: 1151 km
Day Length: 9.4 Earth Hours
Atmospheric Pressure: Trace
Surface Temperature: -229°C
Surface Gravity: 0.06 G

Lake Ontario's name comes from the Wyandot word Ontarí'io, which is typically translated as "beautiful lake". The Kanienʼkéha called it Katarokwi. Samuel de Champlain called it Lac de St. Louis. The name Lacus Ontario was first recorded in 1660 by Francis Creuxius.

I, as a pilot, might shock people by saying “this could be good.” Hiring 2K trainees with potentially overlapping skills is a solid tactic. The US is dangerously low on controllers. Most of the trainees will never certify, but it’s a step towards filling a gap that has contributed to recent deaths.
