Weather still pants - I don't need IIR I need a miracle, but I still managed to drag wife to the FLT Easter egg hunt, where she won a prize for the best decorated Cookie!! #flighttraininglondon #easter #whiskeyalphapilot

With the tragic crash of the Bell 206 in the Hudson River, I'm looking back to my only time flying a helicopter which was the same type, a Bell 206.  I am not going to comment on the causes, but my heart does go out to the victims & their familes. https://youtu.be/rnUKkrI8gDQ  #hudsonrivercrash

With all the fun of Heathrow being closed due to a substation fire, we missed an opportunity, as KK is in for her annual, but we did do a Heathrow Zone crossing a couple of weeks ago. It is not as complex as you might think. youtu.be/9bU4i_oua40 #whiskeyalphapilot

Not everyday you get to fly a C172 this area - can you guess where we are? #whiskeyalphapilot #flying #pilotlife #learningtofly #cessna #cessna172 #aeroplane #aircraft #flight #C172 #TeamHighWing #avgeek #pilot #aviation #aviationphotography #aviationlovers #plane #airplane

Finally back in the air, but with new toys in the cockpit, I try to unflatten my rusty landings and master the glideless flapless approach - does it all go to plan? youtu.be/yRJAdoygPLk #whiskeyalphapilot #flying #pilotlife #learningtofly #cessna #cessna172 #aircraft #flight #pilotofbsky

Flying to blow off the cobwebs. Someone was NOT happy to see us. something about 'get off my grass/astroturf' #whiskeyalphapilot #flying #pilotlife #cessna #cessna172 #flight #C172 #TeamHighWing #avgeek #pilot #aviation #aviationphotography #aviationlovers #plane #airplane #pilotsofbsky

Last landings as the sun goes down at Elstree on 08. Many thanks to the Tower team who swapped runways due to the sun. For some reason I prefer 08. Many thanks to ThemeParkScreamers for the video. #whiskeyalphapilot #flying #pilotlife #cessna #cessna172 #aircraft #flight #C172 #pilotsofbsky

Flying season has started. Can you guess where I went? Ed, one of my fellow owners flew there, I flew back - and yes I used the radio too!!! Video might be coming soon, assuming all the cameras worked. #flying #whiskeyalphapilot #generalaviation

Yes the latest in the saga of owning a private aircraft - spend 30K on upgrades and what happens? youtu.be/zg4qguQFnzA #whiskeyalphapilot #flying #pilotlife #learningtofly #cessna #cessna172 #aeroplane #aircraft #flight #C172 y #aviationlovers #plane #airplane #pilotsofbsky #generalavaition

3 years ago today I took my first flight as a qualified pilot

Defective undercarriage, grass runways and MUD MUD and more MUD. What could go wrong? youtu.be/4si4MtQFVPs #whiskeyalphapilot #flying #pilotlife #learningtofly #pa28 #aeroplane #aircraft #flight #TeamLowWing #avgeek #pilot #aviation

Collected KK from Southend airport today for a Maintenance flight to our A&P. New avionics suite installed, but it raised a couple of issues so off to our engineers to sort. Interesting flying with minimal electronics - one radio and no DI. Great support from Southend ATC

It’s an anniversary today 3 years as a private pilot 3 years as a Pilot - was it worth it? youtu.be/UoXeXDU_xfU

It's time for the Wayne and Jack Show, as we take a trip from Elstree to Leeds. Broken radios, dubious flying and of course your favorite and mine a nice off centered landing - it couldn't get any better - but it does!! youtu.be/5RrSozULUWY #whiskeyalphapilot

Working on an edit for a longer trip to Leeds which was never published, but there is an issue - editing with a mouse is quite normal… But how do I edit with a CAT!???? #whiskeyalphapilot #catvideo #cat #flyingvideo

We dont record everything when I fly, sometimes you will miss the juicy bits youtube.com/shorts/kF52wLG… #whiskeyalphapilot #flying #pilotlife #learningtofly #cessna #cessna172 #aeroplane #aircraft #flight #C172 #TeamHighWing #avgeek #pilot #aviation #aviationphotography
