Spent the night watching the aurora borealis dancing among the stars from cruise altitude

Happy Solstice! Excited for the days to get longer again 🙌

Glad I got to fly the A220 (fmr Bombardier CSeries) for the first time yesterday and enjoyed this view over Lake Superior!

It definitely feels like sunsets have been extra early this winter! Who do we speak to about this?

An underrated form of self-care is not looking at the CAD-USD exchange rate right now 😬

Really cool categorization of the table

Lightning and thunder in Vancouver means you get to gaze in darkness outside ⚡️💥🌩️

Listen to the end for the rolling thunder and hail after the flash.

Are we still posting our #Wordle scores in Nov 2024?

Haven’t been on here in 7 months but I guess this is where other aviators are hanging out!

Image of the rocket launch with the dusk blue sky in the background

Managed to catch the launch of a #SpaceX rocket when I was down in LA earlier this week. Was surreal to see it in person. The speed of the launch was what caught my attention — that wasn’t no plane #space #aviation

For the past three days, it starts to hail every time I step outside. Idk what it means but I’m taking it as a sign of something alright. 🤷🏼‍♂️

A row of Cessna 172s parked on the apron with the Sun above in the background. It’s a sunny day with scattered clouds.

Coming back to flight training after 2 mos of work, holidays, and weather getting in the way >>>

If there’s one thing about #aviation that I love is how disciplined and learning-forward the field can be. Also, the community’s goofy humor 😂.

Boats in the marina with a harbour seal sleeping on the dock in the foreground. The sun is rising in the background sky.

Not the usual #aviation post but I did see this cute little fella during a sunrise walk in the marina the other day.

Just west coast things!

An image of the Ingenuity helicopter taken by the Mars Perseverance Rover launched NASA JPL. The helicopter is landed on the rust colored Martian soil. Photo is from NASA.

An aerial view of the Martian surface taken from the Ingenuity helicopter. You can see the Perseverance rover in the top right of the image off in the distance. The terrain below looks like a desert on Earth.

I’ve definitely failed the "don't bond with a flying robot on another planet 349.7mn Km away" challenge.

72 flights over 1004 days in an atmos ~1/64th the density of 🌎's, when only 5 flights over 30 sols (~31 days) were planned.

A view southward of the rising sun over Greenland at cruising altitude heading eastward.

If anyone in the #avgeek world on here is on PS5/4 and likes #aviation related games (or others too really), add me: anakin-panakin

Also, here’s the sunrise over Greenland, took this from the back of a 787🤙

No thoughts just pretty 777-300ER wing flex and raked wingtips as the deep blue makes way for the first light.

Watching Top Gun Maverick on a flight home might be a little on the nose, but it’s a great way to pass 2 hrs in economy!

Watching a 777-200LR on push back and start-up — gotta take a moment to admire the beauty of that bird.

This isn’t the best view with the glare but the roar of those GEs coming to life can’t be mistaken! #aviation #boeing

Nothing makes me feel more like a grown up than sitting down to write holiday cards for friends to go along with their gifts.

All while having the fireplace channel playing Christmas jazz in the background 🎄☃️

For Canadian 🇨🇦 domestic flights — my #1 airline of 2023 has to be Porter with Air Canada coming in #2 (but only on 777 and 787 service).

The E2 Embraer jets that Porter uses are SO good, plus the onboard service, free⚡️wifi, great legroom, and free🍸. Top tier. #aviation

Gotta say — Delta is really underrated. Free (fast and reliable) wifi for Skymiles members, good IFE, and decent legroom on their A321NEOs, (really good) E175, and CRJ900.

Except for the wild JFK concourse experiences, hands down economy and comfort+ experiences.

Why Canada’s recent climate-policy struggles may be its most valuable contribution to COP28 Between its carbon pricing carve-out and clashes with Prairie provinces, the Trudeau government has had a bad year on the climate file. But in Dubai, there’s a chance to turn those missteps into pro...

I tried to be constructive about COP28, and the way in which Canada is entering it. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Abbotsford after an early November rain storm. Great time at the field. #aviation

Image of a blue sea taken at cruise from a plane. There are tiny puffs of low level cloud hanging above the water.

Gotta make the first BlueSky post count - here’s a blue sea.
