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

Happy Independence Day to all my followers who live in the USA 🇺🇸 . A few weeks ago I was in the capital and walked past the national archives where the original declaration of independence is displayed. A great day to remember that “all men are created equal” & everyone has the

This video isn’t hugely exciting… but what you are seeing is a quite rare cloud formation called noctilucent cloud. Rather than having me explain what they are why they’re rare… click here for a knowledge drop 👉🏻 #avgeek #pilot #weather #cloud

“Traffic 12 o’clock 1000ft above… @Airbus A350”… I love it when you get to say hi as we pass at a closing speed of over 1000 MPH. It is an Air France aircraft if you didn’t catch it. 😜

Here’s an interesting bit of Scottie life trivia. I’ve flown in an aircraft type that’s featured in this video. Any ideas what one ? @avgasaddiction & @99GR81 you’re banned from replying. #avgeek #supersonic #flying

If you don’t follow the Japanese Ambassador to the United Kingdom… then you’re missing out. I cannot wait to see his travels to Northern Ireland.

I am always awestruck when I visit this airport terminal. Its concrete and steel brutalist features are truly stunning. This pic could be from the 1950’s… but it was just earlier this month. Where are your travels taking you this week & what’s your favourite airport to go

This wording makes me feel like this is a shakedown. The offered options for a takeaway coffee with minimal staff interaction (service) are outrageous. Staff need a living wage, I totally understand that, but that’s for the employers to facilitate and not rely on what isn’t a

I’m am very concerned that our judicial system is sending a very clear message here that this type offence has low consequences for the offender. @YvetteCooperMP… whilst the video is a snapshot of the incident, I’m sure you’d agree that our emergency services deserve better.

Watch the shocking moment a patient attacks our ambulance with the crew still inside. After pleading guilty to assault of an emergency worker, criminal damage and being drunk and disorderly in public, he was ordered to pay a £114 fine and serve 150 hours of community service.

I really shouldn’t be allowed near technology. WhatsApp wasn’t working on my CarPlay, a new fault, that I could easily fix myself 🙌🏻 … or so I thought. 45 mins later and I appear to have deleted all chats and backups as well as my meta account details. 😬 Happy Friday Everyone!

Jeepers… that’s precision. 6 x 30,000lbs bombs down the same hole. That’s Deathstar swamp rat shooting accuracy. The technology is impressive.

Pete Hegseth explained that the first GBU-57 was used to break through a concrete cover (middle crater), allowing the remaining five to follow through the same opening. He added that what appeared to be two other impact holes were actually part of the site’s ventilation system.

Departing @EAA Air Venture in a formation of C-47’s or Dakota’s depending upon your flag 🇺🇸 🇬🇧… this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to fly in ‘That’s All Brother’ a C-47 with a remarkable story of its own. Can’t wait to be back in Osh Kosh with my buddies in a few weeks 🙌🏻

The A Team are on their way eastwards across the pond in large numbers (20) if posts are to be believed. This might explain the huge deployment of tankers the other day. Obviously a peacekeeping force. 🤥🤥🤥. Did things just get better, or worse?

This is a beautiful piece of engineering from a RR engine from a Boeing 747 that I flew. Somehow … via @Aerotiques it’s managed to appear in my family room. There may be trouble ahead when @BatemanSharon comes back from work… hey ho… it’s just the depth that varies. What bits
