Holey hell. A French Rafale landing on a carrier at night. I watched the radar altimeter (top right) count down and I still couldn’t see the carrier until touchdown. NOT A CHANCE I’d do this. Ever. #WePilots #aviation

✈️ London → Hong Kong tonight in the A350, one of the world’s most fascinating long-haul routes. We’ll arc east over Europe, cut across the vastness of Asia, and descend tomorrow morning into Hong Kong’s Chek Lap Kok International Airport. Hong Kong used to mean something very

I miss the old girl… but I do love my new bus too. 😂🤣.

📍High Above Greenland | Polar Route 🇬🇱. 📸 Snapped from the flight deck of my A350, en route back to London from Tokyo Haneda via the polar route. These four shots were taken just past Thule Space Base (BGTL), revealing a surreal, untouched world of ancient ice. What you’re

We undertook this jet as we passed Tianjin the other night on the way to Tokyo. Any guesses as to the airline and the type of aircraft? . We were at 35,000ft, they were at 37,000. It took us a while to pass and get our own climb to what was our optimum level. Nice view though.

The plot of C.H.I.P.S has got spicier since the 1980’s. This is like the Wild West with motorbikes. 🫣

Good morning from #Tokyo! The big question this morning is do we go east or west on the way home. East (over the polar region) is shorter (13:30 ish) going west will be almost 16:00. So why would we go west ? . ETOPS allows twin-engine aircraft to fly long routes away from

From my office window, I’m often privileged to see nature at its most fierce and beautiful. This picture encapsulates so much. From Orion’s Belt to green hue of the lights near Beijing, with the wrath of Thor illuminating it all at the centre. No filter & a single shot. Proud of

Here we go again… another early kick out of bed for a Tokyo trip. For those that know me well, or have followed me for a while, you’ll know that I’m not a fan of mornings… Proper long haul ops today with a flight time of 12:50. Hope you all have a great day 🙌🏻 #pilotlife #Tokyo

Have you ever heard of @2ftsCamp ? This is a week long adventure for hundreds of Air Cadets as they are given the opportunity to explore new skills such as satellite technology, space management, and all things aviation (gliding, powered flying, and drones). Lots of smiling

Gen Z outfoxed by Gen X.

And this is why men can’t have nice things…. Maybe the pilot has been sampling the goods that his import/export cooperative deal in…

Cruising at FL390 in the A350 over the Iceland–Greenland gap when I spotted something wild…. Two massive icebergs out in the middle of the North Atlantic—each one trailing its own little cloud on the downwind side. Had to grab the iPhone 16 Pro and catch it on video. Shot it

This is an old video but one where everyone walked away unscathed. A significant hydraulic problem led to a loss of control on landing, a nicely executed handbrake turn, and the jet breaking in two. Reading the circumstances this was initially a well executed emergency

Any landing you can walk away from is a good one… if they can use the aircraft again, that’s a bonus. Thankfully both pilots in this forced landing in Australia have made it out ok. Good work fellas… the aircraft is replaceable.

My recent travels have allowed me to eventually get around to reading ‘Jungle Warrior’… Edgar Peacock was undoubtedly a ruthless and unrelenting warfighter who almost reinvented guerrilla warfare in Burma. If you enjoy this genre, might I suggest it goes on your list. It

Wow. Looks like Putin decided the talks in Alaska didn’t go well enough. 🫣.

‘Twas a relief to be down after that long in the air. The longest I have done for a while. Some pics over the weekend of the exceptional views of the Iceland - Greenland gap. Thanks Alex for sharing.
