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.

This is what... my 6th Sun 'n Fun in a row? I've had my ups and downs at the show. Now the MO is to spend most of the week exploring Florida, and about 2 days at the show. It was really special this year.⠀
⠀
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.

It's good to be back to normal. Warm air, a sunburn, a root beer, the whistle of a P-51, the Stars and Stripes blowing in the breeze, and the company of great friends. Airshows are back, and it feels good.

The Blue Angels are LEGIT! No matter how many times I see this performance, it never gets old.

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.

Always wanted to land here. Cedar Key has only 1600 ft usable runway. That’s pretty for most, and we made sure not to take every foot for granted. Fun, a little bit challenging, and a beautiful spot. Check another off the bucket list.

AUDIO ON !!! My cousin, a center controller in Seattle, gave us a shortcut. Wow, what a great view he got us of Rainier! During the flight an attendant came up to me and said the captain invited me up front after the flight. What a great memory!

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.⠀

Montana paints the plane with the perfect pallet of pastels. Big Sky Country, one of the many names for Montana. After a big day flying through Alberta, Canada we're back in the US. We can attest to the sky being very big. ⠀

On the left, Montana. On the right, Canada. We're back in the USA. A big moment, but anticlimactic at the same time. ⠀

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, 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.

I miss 23U. But good things happening!

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. ⠀

Somewhere between Ft. Nelson and Grand Prairie. We were racing the light and looking forward to a rest after a long day. After posting on an Alberta aviation page, we got lots of people offering help with hangars and ideas for accommodations. Grand Prairie was just ahead where we'd meet Mike. We all became fast friends. ⠀
