So chuffed to have my dad on board as a passenger. We are on the #BA273 to San Diego for some duelling pianos, warship tours and aviation museums. Feeling proud to have him as my passenger #avgeek #takeyourdadtowork

Last day of the school holidays and one happy #miniavgeek. Despite a long night and breakfast in Paris (well the McCafe at CDG), we finally made it back to @HeathrowAirport. Thanks to the @British_Airways crew who made her trip. βοΈπ©πΌββοΈ

With the biggest baubles I've ever seen, that's a 2024 stateside wrap! πΊπΈ Pleased that we missed the worst of #StormDarragh as we landed into @HeathrowAirport this morning. Well done to all the crew, ground staff and @NATS battling the winds over the weekend βοΈ

Weekend of 747 nostalgia. βοΈ Managed to bag myself a date for the 747 dinner reunion dinner, hosted at the beautiful RAF Club. This morning we boarded Negus for the 'Flight Before Christmas''. π

Aaaaaaaand relax. Ten days of reserve saw a new destination for the log book, 5 days of standing by and then a single day off before diving into my 2 day sim check π΅βπ« I'm pleased to report, licence signed, skills developed and good to go for another year. Next stop... DENπΊπΈ

After handing over a fully serviceable jet and chocolate treat to @avgasaddiction (you're welcome), tried a new activity in PHX. Afternoon trail ride with #ArizonaHorses. Horses were beautiful, well behaved and the Wranglers were so cool. π΄π’πΊπΈ

7 years ago after I slid into his DMs, we had our first date at @GAILsBakery. We have achieved a lot in 7 years, our biggest success in the middle π₯° Celebrated with a cinnamon bun and hot chocolate. Glad to be navigating life with @avgasaddiction β€οΈ

Had a great time showing my dad the sights of Cape Town. @ConstantiaGlen Vineyard, Table Mountian, Boulder beach and of course the @harleydavidson dealership! I even treated him to a little Accra diversion on the way down... 2 landings for the price of 1! πΏπ¦π₯©π·

As a shift worker I really enjoy my week days off. Today I gave Milo a leg stretch around the South Downs. 19k steps, wind measured in Spaniel ear flaps & a delicious lunch at The Shoe Inn. We also found a memorial for a Sterling who crashed on Ex Dreme during D-Day prep.

What a great weekend celebrating @avgasaddiction's Birthday. Family, friends and the roar of a Merlin on the south coast. This will be a tough one to beat! π₯³

Travelling on the other side of the door today. Whilst @avgasaddiction is blasting off to @TorontoPearson, we are off to Jersey for a change of scenery, beach and maybe even @JerseyZoo. I wonder who we'll bump into?! π¦βοΈ

Happy Father's Day to our favourite dad. The one who tells the best bedtime stories, takes us flying, cooks the most delicious meals and throws the ball the furthest! ππ
