Say hello to your newest captain on the PC12! A few of you guessed I was at SimCom (now CAE) completing a “type” training. All of my Caravan turbo prop paid off, a cool little part 91 company hired me to fly their PC12s in south Florida. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to…
Pretty Pilatus on a turn in south Florida! We like to open the cowling to let her breathe when we do quick turns. I loved the symmetry when I was walking out to pick up my clearance and had to snap a pic. 📸
Landed in Turks and Caicos today and saw two Bell 412s sitting on the ramp and lots of law enforcement activity. Naturally, I had to ask some questions. One of the pilots was nice enough to explain that the USA has an agreement with some of the islands to provide assistance to…
Do you see those airbags on the skids? I read that they’re for ditching in the water, to prevent capsizing; which begs the question, can you use them as a form of floats for takeoff and landing? Probably not. I think I looked up an image of these Airbus floats in operation,…
Just a pretty jet sitting in front of some pretty clouds. Always fun to sit on the ground watching storms build vs watching them build in the sky.
While returning to South Florida from the west coast, we were receiving some vectors for the weather and we were flying parallel with our friendly Spirit Wings sequencing for KFLL. It was so beautiful, their vibrant livery contrasting with the dark ground of the cloudy skies.
On today’s adventure, I flew in the back. I’m headed to the west coast for a family bachelorette trip, and received this book from a special someone to read on my trip. Needless to say, I’m halfway through it on my first 3.5 hr leg. If you haven’t read it, go do it. Also, I…
🎶 Isn’t she loooooovely 🎶 got a better angle of the reason why taxiway G is closed at KFLL.
Saw our big float girl depart today, and let me tell you, I wish I captured her low altitude departure turn.
An oldie but a goodie. Happy birthday, America! God bless this country, God bless her people, and God bless those who give up their lives to allow us the freedom we know today.
We managed to sneak in with the storm looming, and while at customs I saw this beautiful private BBJ 777 (with Rollie engines) parked, blocking a taxiway. Please appreciate with me because I got rained on to capture this pic.
Guys I saw my first 747 IRL!! It was so awesome. I had just landed and when we switched to ground I heard the Giant callsign on freq and I turned and looked at my copilot and I said “DUDE it’s the 747!” He was not nearly as hype as I was. It was awesome because we taxied behind…
A 69 year old Piper Apache! She was quite bulbous and I had to go up and take a closer look. Not something you see every day!
