Flaps 15, assumed temperature of 50C. 😁 FO couldn't get a printout but the captain remembered! ❤️ Love you guys, Delta!

Honestly I'd rather stuff them into the overhead.

Honestly sounds like it makes the airspace less complicated. 😁

Ryan @ryantheflyingpanda.bsky.social · 4d

So glad we got off the ground just before that. 😐

Finally. I can fly tomorrow. Off to Los Angeles for my October trip. Can't wait!!!

Ryan @ryantheflyingpanda.bsky.social · 16d

Sooo tired of people dying without reason.

Ryan @ryantheflyingpanda.bsky.social · 18d

Oh you just brought back so many memories. Unfortunately I can't make an October trip this year back to London, but damn I wish I was there. ❤️

And we think this is completely due to accident or incompetence? It's clearly on purpose.

Lemme get this straight. Fuck face took a jet from Qatar and a US ally (I guess they are???) just bombed them for housing a US enemy (Hamas). What the fuck is going on???

Thank you. She was a sister to me. We just got back from Phoenix together. It was our first non road trip. She took her life the following morning.

She had planned this for a while. Managed to pull wool over everyone's eyes. I don't blame anyone but the chemicals in her brain.

I lost my best friend on Monday. We had just gotten back from a trip to Phoenix.

If you or a loved one are struggling with suicidal thoughts, please for the love of all that exists - reach out.

Love ya, Mag. Still gonna kick your ass when I see you again.

I'm only going to be excited for one event that causes them to be half staff.

Went down to the airport yesterday. Sun poked out a little. Got this banana pic. Spirit Airbus A321 NEO N732NK turns right into L after taking the Papa loop. From KFLL.

N732NK, A21N, turns right onto taxiway L after the Papa Loop st KATL.

I feel like I need to make an In n Out run to LAX soon.

It's possible it was right during the first meal service. In my experience on international flights they get the first meal out of the way as soon as they can. Wearing your seat belt won't stop a giant meal cart from smacking your face.

I guess Glen Beck was right. He wasn't with 15 year olds... They're too old.

Ryan @ryantheflyingpanda.bsky.social · Jul 28

You're so lucky. I fly for 45 hours in 10 days and I just want more!
