I could spend hours and hours going through the ma I could spend hours and hours going through the many photos that I have of our beautiful earth. As I see many people posting their photos today in appreciation of our rock we call home, I’m reminded of the many flights that have pierced my soul. The views afforded to aviators are second to none. We get to witness, from a birdseye view, the infinite grandeur of all that was created.

At one point I got tears in my eyes as the F-22 ripped by on the high speed pass. All was well in the world. Then seeing all my friends, colleagues, and fans again. It was very memorable.

MULTIPLE ANGLES — I don’t usually repost stuff MULTIPLE ANGLES — I don’t usually repost stuff but I feel there’s a huge learning opportunity here. I’d also love to hear more backstory from the pilot on the chain of events that lead to this ditching. 

Regardless, I feel it a near perfect demonstration on why we practice emergencies, how to keep a cool head during such a critical event, and the skills involved. 

Additionally, it seems the pilot purposely dodged swimmers right near the end. 

Altogether, solid. 

Feel free to comment with extra details.

The fulfilling feeling after completely a complex The fulfilling feeling after completely a complex flying mission. All the micro decisions and safety mindset lead us to the great moments. But we shouldn't be so focused on the mission that we forget the ultimate mission -- return home safe. Traversing Canada over the prior few days was a large undertaking. Now it's time for some food, some shut eye, and prep for the final push to Oshkosh to get 23U upgraded.⠀

There's always silver lining in difficult times. I There's always silver lining in difficult times. In bigger cities once plagued by busy airspace, a reduction in traffic because of COVID has made for some unique opportunities. In this case, we got to fly past the city of Calgary at about 7 miles away. It's actually quite shocking how large of a city it is. A huge concentration of large buildings and a disproportionately small amount of suburbs.
** UPDATE** THIS IS AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE!** Alas, t ** UPDATE** THIS IS AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE!** Alas, the wait is over! I'd like to introduce you to the new panel in 23U, our trusty 1963 Cessna 172. It features a G5000 Suite of avionics, including GTN750Xi and GTN650Xi navigators. Also, notice the GI275 backup on the left. We chose AOA Orange as our backdrop. This will reduce pilot fatigue by always keeping them alert. ***Not pictured is the HUD, used in many newer model Gulfstreams, that will be on the pilot side.

You know what's cool? When you push a plane out of You know what's cool? When you push a plane out of a hangar and you don't even need to turn the nose wheel to rotate it. You just slide it to the side right on the ice. The cold sucks sometimes, but the more you just embrace it -- density altitude, crisp clear air, icy ramps -- the more advantage. Huge thanks to Mike and Dom in Grand Prairie for the hangar overnight. ⠀
