Broadcasting the bodies of fallen LA County Sheriff’s deputies from a helicopter isn’t journalism — it’s exploitation. Families weren’t even notified yet. This is an unforgivable breach of ethics. Ratings should never come before human dignity. #LASD

🚁 EC130 crashes in Michigan. No injuries. Some stood way too close—as the chopper came apart. Doesn’t matter if you fly a $500K or $3M machine….Training, awareness, and leadership save lives. #FlySmart #EC130 #AviationSafety #CopterPilot

In Honor of Anthony Michael Bourdain.June 25, 1956 – June 8, 2018. He didn’t just eat with people—he stood with them. If he were in L.A. today, he’d say:.“You don’t need to love borders to love people. Remember who made your breakfast.”

We lost a legend today. From Top Gun to Tombstone, Val Kilmer wasn’t just an actor—he was a force. “I’m your huckleberry” lives on. You sparked my love of flight. I wish this was an April Fool’s joke. Hasta luego, amigo. #ValKilmer #RIPValKilmer #Tombstone #TopGun

Suk Min Choi (Alex Choi) has a habit of expecting everything for free—car repairs, luxury services, even private jet rides. He won’t even pay his pilots, who earn just $25/hr. To make it worse, everyone who works on his video shoots goes unpaid and gets fed nothing but cup

I absolutely can't wait to fly along the Malibu Coast, buzzing the pier! The thrill of soaring over the sparkling ocean, with the iconic pier just below, is going to be an adrenaline rush like no other. One day, I'll make this dream a reality, and it's going to be epic!
