I was just at work last night (and the night before)… but the sky looks inviting tonight and I wish I was working again tonight. #akgeek

U.S. President has pretty much said it's open season to murder opposition politicians and it seems like this should be a much bigger story

Wow! Jesse Welles performed his song “Join ICE” on the Colbert Show last night. 🏆

So… I want Every landing to be a nice one… but with 310 people on board, including 6 deadheading pilots from my company & a jump-seating pilot from WestJet sitting behind me in the cockpit, there was extra pressure to deliver. Helps that my FO was awesome and the weather was ideal; 🛬🧈 #avgeek

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

The profile of my last flight looks like a ballistic arc. The short flights are busy. Kinda fun… now and then. #avgeek

Normally our maintenance personnel do the pre-flight walk-around for us. It had been a few hours since the check was done so I went out and took a look around the machine. #avgeek

I can’t be taxiing around taking pictures, but there happened to be a bit of a lineup for takeoff. Once we were stopped with the parking brake set I got a quick pic of the lov-er-ly YYZ sunset. #Avgeek

Taking a stroll through the cabin #AvGeek

I dared the aviation gods to defy me yesterday, leaving my luggage at home and taking only a small bag of essentials. The gamble paid off. Dare I try again today?

Nice night for a little flight. No ice. No bumps. Left a minute early. Got in even earlier. Also my first landing in my “proper” seat since mid-September. Lots of training going on. #avgeek

Here’s hoping you get everything you want this Life Day. #lifeday #starwars

When your political movement feels the need to argue that the girls being raped by the leader were maybe just old enough to not technically qualify him as a pedophile, I don’t see how a decent person continues to lend their support.

Got a couple little YYZ-YUL flights this week. I don’t even get the return flights - deadhead home both times. I’ll be spending more time at the controls of my car, driving back and forth to the airport, than flying the planes. #pilotlife #avgeek

Stick season #autumn

As much as it’s a pain in the butt to keep paper logs, there’s a sense of satisfaction totaling up a page. #avgeek

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

Untangling the lights #HoHoHo

Short 🧵 1/3 Years and years ago, when I still had a share in this Grumman Tiger, I was dating a cute girl up in Ottawa. I asked her, spur of the moment, if she wanted to go down to New York City for a day date, and she agreed. #avgeek

Got to do a little general-aviating this evening (as a passenger, though I got to do most of the flying up in cruise). First time in a Diamond - a bit of an improvement over the dilapidated C172s that I’m used to. #avgeek

Some more pics from my afternoon walk in Paris #travel

He made a few wrong turns, but he made the stops and even checked the validity of bus passes. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Went out looking for some aurora… alas

Some more snaps from my stroll in Paris the other day

A young musician playing outside the Louvre a couple nights ago.

Lots of visits to London this year. New Christmas tree ornaments from Portsmouth and Greenwich.

Pretty much every single president since Ulysses S Grant has had a dog while in office.

I’ve hit my head on more than one occasion when getting the seasonal decorations out of the crawl space. Now I go in there ready for action.. either against that wooden beam or against a colonial uprising.

An autumn evening stroll in Paris #travel

Hold on everyone! #avgeek

It was a loooong night. Winter wonderland at the airport. #avgeek

Fa la la la la ❄️

STOP 👏 APPROPRIATING 👏 OOMPA 👏 LOOMPA 👏 CULTURE

Some early wintery weather. It’s still hovering just above freezing, but if the temperature drops I may need to shovel the driveway before work.

Some Instagram rando just “well akshually”-ed me on a reply to an aviation post. (And if I say something demonstrably incorrect about aeronautics or air law then I’m open to being called out on that.) …

"Build A Ballroom"

Off to work tomorrow after a few weeks of vacation. I might be coming back just in time for the first spray of the season. #AvGeek

The woodland exterior canopy turns golden whilst the interior is insulated and protected temporarily from the seasonal changes. I captured this phenomenon here during sunset in a local beechwood. #woodland #nature #photography #autumn

Delays at a lot of the major US hubs as the Republican Party continues to demonstrate their utter inability to govern. Also some airspace closures across Florida between the Atlantic and the Gulf of… ahem… Mexico, according to the FAA’s website. #Avgeek

It's not even Thanksgiving yet and he's got the "War on Christmas" lights up.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

A successful little mini-vacation during the autumn school break. The weather cooperated and London was a pleasure, as always. #travel

A few days in London and the boy went native. #travel

There is absolutely nothing remarkable about this video. Someone feels dizzy and Obama pauses to make sure they’re ok before he continues. Like humans do. Except it IS remarkable that DJT just stood by, looking annoyed, when someone recently collapsed in the Oval Office. youtu.be/2X10yt_6JrA?...
