Woke up to take a flight to ORD early this morning and it was just as the last country I needed for a #Skycards trophy 🏆 was in the air.

Foggy and cold (-1.7C) here at MSN.

Been reading this lately. Definitely a good read for CFIs and PPL applicants.

Pilot Workshops does really good in general so was not shocked they are still doing well with this ACS breakdown.

Well finished my CFI FIRC program and now trying to get IACRA done... *sigh*

Hope the FAA fixes this soon.

Wow this was a bad day for cruise 🚢 stocks. $NCLH leading the decline.

Finally decided to get custom made hearing protection. Will use them mostly for airshows & dances. Kinda shocked my hearing is not worse after all those airshows and F-35 back in ‘19 causing so much pain.

Tied our bottle of Flare we ordered at #OSH25 the other night. Heavy on the oak. Not bad for cocktails.
