First look - Amtrak's new Acela train set is absolutely beautiful, clean, and is the fastest train in the USA, capable of speeds up to 160mph! #firstlook #firstclass #fastesttrain #fasttrain #amtrak #acela #usa #unitedstates #class #vehicledesign #windowseatproject #speed

Airbus A330 'jump seats' on the flight deck allow for up to 2 extra pilots. On longer flights we are required to have extra pilots that alternate as flying pilots, giving the working pilots a break so we can fly long distances. #longflights #longflight

The Colgate Clock in Jersey City stands as a historic landmark, illuminating the skyline with its iconic presence. A symbol of the city's rich history and a reminder of its industrial past, this giant timepiece is as recognizable as it is beautiful.

The tools the Airbus A330 uses to avoid terrain when we are flying. #airbusa330 #makersgonnamake #avoid #fly

All about the Airbus A330 Inertial Reference (IR) system that we use fix our position. Used with GPS updating it is extremely accurate. #airbusa330 #update

Check out the Boston Amtrak South Station Metropolitan lounge. This is a beautiful lounge with lots of space. I just wish Amtrak standardized their lounges across the board for a more consistent experience at their lounges. #amtrak #checkout #lotsofspace #acrosstheboard #city #massachusetts

Amtrak's South Station in Boston is very nice and where I caught my Acela train back to New York City. #acela #bevery #newyork #yorkcity #massachusetts #cities #city #york #cityscape #caught #masstransit

All about the Airbus A330 sidestick. Boeing has a yoke for its pilots to control the airplane. Airbus uses a side stick and flight control laws to control the airplane. Here's a little sample. #instaaviation

Is Spirit Airlines about to be extinct? #spiritairlines #spirit #airlines

The NY Waterway ferry is a great way to get from lower Manhattan to Jersey City, New Jersey. It's way better than taking the PATH train, especially during off peak hours. #greatway #lowermanhattan #nywaterway #jerseycity #newjersey #pathtrain #offpeak #peakhours #peakhour #atlantic #jersey #jerseys

I decided to take the NYC Ferry home from Rockaway beach after work instead of the A train. It's just under and hour to get to Wall Street pier but after a long day of flying it's the perfect way to wind down. #perfectway #longday #winddown #atrain #rockawaybeach #wallstreet #nyc #home

River cruises on the Rhine are a perfect way to see important cities in Europe. This is a Saga river cruise ship I saw while in Mainz, Germany. #instaship #perfectway #rhine #europe #rivercruise #cruiseship #cityineurope #continent #rivery #cruise #cities #citylife #shiplife #mainz #germany

From last year - I show you the location of the light installations that project the 911 twin towers light memorial every year on and before the anniversary of the 911 terrorist attacks. #terroristattack #towers #memorial #anniversary #lightinstallations #twintowers #terroristattacks #NYC #911

This is a repost from last year that I thought was appropriate for today - The 911 light memorial as seen from the roof of my [OLD] building. #lastyear #oldbuilding #appropriatefortoday #fromtheroof #repost #today #memorial #roofing #architecture #architecture_hunter #thought #seen

This is the daytime view of the 911 light memorial display that is set up about 4 blocks south of the former sight of the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center. These lights are not co-located with the actual memorial but are just a little way south of where the towers once stood.

After stopping a 400,000 pound aircraft from 160MPH to a full stop results in energy displacement, namely through the brakes. This is totally normal on all aircraft. #instagramaviation #instaenergy #instaplane #fullstop #planespotting #aircraft #results #brakes #brake #avgeek
