Had an amazing night at @NATCA’s Archie League Awards tonight. Think of it as the Oscars for ATC. They highlight professionalism under pressure of an emergency to ensure a safe outcome. It was a great way to end a week at #CFS2025

What’s a lounge? I think I vaguely remember what they were…. A place to eat and work in a relatively calm environment

My airline has automation through our radio department to just send up the scores when the crew sends a downlink of “Scores”

So as I posted earlier, the kid I took to Oshkosh took to it like a fish and water. His spark for aviation grew into a raging fire, and he started taking pictures and they are phenomenal. Give him a follow at @avgeeksnaps.bsky.social Photos to start being posted soon!

That was on my way to use the alternate porta potties because my normal porta potties were being cleaned. I’m in row 132.

If you go on a fishing trip you fish more than once. I’m on a flying trip, so I made sure I went flying today! Took some friends as well. #OSH25

Brought the middle kid to #OSH25 he wanted to come with me and he likes airplanes. Understanding a 14 year old might get bored I was prepared to leave early if we needed to. However, what happened was OSH was like pouring gasoline on a smoldering fire. Photos are his.

I’m extremely grateful for what I get to do for a job. This week of work I spent it in meetings with Airbus and other industry partners discussing a new way to plan flights across the ocean to save fuel. The just happened to be hosted by Air France. A few days in Paris was amazing.

In-laws live on the downwind-base turn to 8L in ATL. I caught this today when watching airplanes with my son. Really cool to see the wake make a hole in the cloud. No worries. The cloud quickly repaired itself. It was an A339 from CDG. #avgeek

Technology is amazing, I’m in a machine that is currently 32,000 feet in the air over the North Atlantic, moving at 82% the speed of sound, and sending this photo. Sometimes I just sit back in awe. #Gratitide

As we start in another season of Lent I always think of different ways to make some changes. This Lent I am removing color from my phone in the hopes of using it less. #ashwednesday2025

This NOTAM explains why it was a pain to try and get fuel this evening, yes I read my NOTAMs, but this was issued after I took off 🤣

Beeping stopped after finding a 9v battery. It is currently robbed from the stud finder… 9v batteries are not as common as they used to be.

Flying and Life @flyingandlife.bsky.social · Dec 26

Why do smoke detector batteries always go low voltage at night time???

Is it really have to do with temperature impacting the batteries charge level???
