I usually keep out of politics on SM but as an aviator the loss of good weather data is not going to make life easier ( or for sailors, farmers etc) 🙄

Let’s rebuild #Aviation Twitter on Bluesky! For a decade, I enjoyed the AvGeek banter with a huge engaged community over there. That place is now DEAD TO ME. I’m a Ferry Pilot, former Airline Capt, and for the last 25 years, I’ve been moving airliners around the world with my company #Nomadic

This is the BEST video you will EVER see regarding ATC both in general, and regarding the tragedy at DCA. I know it’s 20 minute video but, if you have any curiosity about how ATC works, I urge you to watch this. Please share this far and wide. youtu.be/H4qZqvcg0Fw?...

Well… my flight over the weekend was subbed to a different aircraft type, so I didn’t get any flying in. Anyways, here are some random #flightdeckmonday shots from the last 5 years. I’ve been back and forth between types. #avgeek

Just a reminder that there’s an approach transition in Denver that looks like a running stick man. #avgeek

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...

Unreal. DOGE posted National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) headcounts. NRO budgets and headcounts are classified to prevent adversaries from using them to extrapolate our intelligence priorities. Stop giving kids who don’t know what the fuck they’re doing access to this shit.

This is the same story of so many aviation accidents. The chain of events begins minutes, hours, days, weeks or even longer in the past. In the case of the Potomac, the accident was out there for years, hunting for the exact right circumstance and finally found it.

RIP Christopher Norton Moore (1947-2025) We've all seen sci-fi book (and music album!) covers by British illustrator Chris Moore. We'll miss this prolific artist with his fascinating visions of the future. Our thoughts are with his loved ones.

It’s 2025, I have a PhD in physics, and I just had to watch a tutorial on how to control the volume on a Samsung TV remote.

It's literally impossible to run the National Weather Service without talking to foreign partners. For example, the National Hurricane Center in Miami shares data with other nations in the Caribbean constantly to forecast storms. Everyone benefits. Weather doesn't stop at the borders.

Think about what damaging the National Weather Service will do to aviation safety. Think, especially, about what it will do to commercial aviation which relies on accurate information to adhere to rigid schedules. Now think about Alaska which relies on aviation for....everything.

With all the depressing political news, needed something to smile about this weekend, so got up both days. Nothing better than some flight time in this kind of weather! #FlightDeckMonday
