In late April, I flew to the Polish border with Ukraine, Rzeszow, to deliver humanitarian aid to Lviv, Ukraine. It was one of the most rewarding things I’ve done in years. We’re planning a new trip, but first let me show you how our previous trip went! youtu.be/ZHCFZUeTKF0
No medical required to fly a 250 knot 4 seater aircraft seems… insane? What is the general consensus under other pilots? Does this make sense?
flightglobal.com/aerospace/faa-… A huge change is about to take place in the U.S. with the expansion of the “Light Sport” category of aircraft with changes coming into effect on July 24th 2026 under the MOSAIC rule changes. These changes removes the weight, speed and fixed landing gear…
Landing with ± 14 kts tailwind on a 800 meter downsloping runway. This happens pretty regularly where I fly because during the summer, there is usually a line of very strong windshear within 500m from the runway, making the preferred runway unusable if we want to avoid the WS.
After months of work... I'm proud to announce that iOS 6 Revival Icon Pack is dropping August 1! Stay tuned :)
iOS 26 developer beta 4 has been extraordinarily slow on my device. Many animations are ‘slow motion’ or rendered at 5-10 FPS. Installed the beta yesterday evening. But surprising since Beta 1 only had this issue for 2 hours, and the other betas have been fine.

The biggest miscalculation I made in 2022. I mistakenly believed Russians would have taken to the streets by now in such large numbers it would overwhelm the state apparatus over the growing casualties. Even in the US, the numb, dumb, and tuned out electorate would burn this…
When I claim that Russia is a death cult, I take into account this. Russian casualties grow steadily. If Russia were a normal country, it could have been the graph of labor and capital growth. "Why is human life so cheap in Russia?" is the question to historians and economists🧵
‘It’s within the green arc so there is no problem’ Still laser focused on the fuel pressure for the entire flight though.
It ain’t clickbait if it’s a screenshot from the actual video right? 👀 Cockpit Casual - A Life Nomadic | Part Four "Helter Skelter" youtu.be/_IklKhKO0EI
42 degrees at work today. Calima so strong that visibility is <4000 km and you can look straight at the sun.
11 years ago, Russians downed flight MH-17, killing all passengers on board. Never forget.
In the Netherlands for a few days, walked 25 kilometers in the Veluwe yesterday. I miss this place a lot, would love to move back but the house prices are insane.
Apparently these pictures are real. Maybe I started seeing AI where there is none. Especially the antenna on the first picture looked ‘off’. Apologies where due cc/ @AviationSafety
Absolutely zero disrespect to the Indian Aviation professionals 🇮🇳 - most of which are top notch in every way - and who provide incredibly valuable commentary on here - but - what’s with the overlooking of obvious data and pushing of misinfo to suit the “mechanical” narrative…
Well, this last shift stated with a sunset and ended with a sunrise. What an ass kicker of a week. At least I was able to take off the NVGs for this leg... Hours worked-96 Patients flown-10 Miles flown-2,900 Medical supplies gathered for @BlueYellowUSA -$1,100-update soon...
