A crisp and “fresh”🥶December afternoon at the Calgary Flying Club. Blue skies & smooth air more than make up for the “frosty” air intake found on all types of machines including the two legged variety 😊 Happy Solstice! 🌎☀️🙏 🛩️ #Aviation #AvGeek #CYBW #Flightschool #Cessna #Canada #winterwonderland

In 1970, Philip Ryther produced a bombshell report on the FAA that went nowhere no matter how hard he tried to make it public. He was forced to resign and decided to let everyone know what happened. colleenmondor.substack.com/p/36-55-year...

With this issue, it's almost all she wrote for 2025. 💥 We kick off with Editor @terencecgannon.com enthusing about Japanese animé. He then takes a crack at the practice of directly linking press releases and then wraps up with the first annual Roy Bishop Stokes Aviation Book Christmas List. | 🛩️ 🥇

Three minutes of four blissful Curtiss-Wright R-3350 engines purring as FIFi arrives into AirVenture 2024. One of only two flying B29s flying, it is a joy to witness her (and/or Doc) anytime one has the privilege to be in the same airspace. 🛩️ #Aviation #AvGeek #Warbirds #EAA #Boeing #B29 #CAF

83 years ago today! It is extraordinary that two of these machines still grace the sky (Doc & FiFi). Attached is a video of Doc’s home in Wichita (2/2) & my flight with FiFi in Kenosha, WI (3/3). Hats off to those who commit their time & expertise to “keep em flying” 😎 1/3 🛩️ #Aviation #AvGeek

The charming seaside hamlet of Quidi Vidi, NL takes one back in time. So much to explore in this beautiful country called 🇨🇦 #Canada #Photography #ArtYear #PhotoHour #Travel #IslandLife #Islands #Newfoundland #Fishing

It was a lovely #BlueskyMonday a while back as we cruised up the west coast of Newfoundland. The iconic cliffs of the Western Brook Pond in Gros Morne National Park are an amazing sight from any altitude! 🛩️ 📸 🇨🇦 #Canada #Aviation #AvGeek #Photography #Explore #Newfoundland

Gander Lake Marine Air Base c.1953, dismantled in the 1960s, relocated to Deadmans Pond. Built as part of the original airport for water aerodrome flying boat services. Later used by the public as an R&R facility. Located at the end of the road leading to the Arrow Air Memorial

If this were a bird 🐦 story, it would officially be out of scope as defined by BluFly's tagline, above. However, it's really more of an aerial photography 📸 story, ably authored by Andrea DenHoed in 2018 and featured recently as part of the @newyorker.com's 100th anniversary retrospective. | 🛩️ 💺 🥇

Manatee with a pair of twin calves in tow. It's rare for manatees to have twins. Kind of looked like an SR-71 blackbird the way she had a baby manatee on each side. #nature #animals #ocean #wildlife #manatees #florida #awesome
