Boeing 787 pricing is going to be interesting going forwards under Trump’s new tariff regime.. 🤦🏻

@TUIUK have opened up their MPL Cadet pilot program for applications. Another great opportunity to get on a fully funded airline pilot training course.

The first "heavy" Air Greenland A330-800 Neo departure from the newly extended Nuuk (Capital of Greenland) airfield enroute to Copenhagen.

The airport will also host a bi-weekly United service from the U.S.

Nuuk has just been extended to 2200M with an ILS at both ends and a relatively straightforward approach, so a much better diversion tbh than Sondestrom. There's also a twice weekly service by United I believe which would make pax dispersal easier as well. Good all round!

Here's What Your Pilot's Thinking When They're Landing A Plane Sideways In A Storm Key insight for everyone hooked to the livestream of planes landing at Heathrow Airport.

You can use "Find My" on iPhones to give distance and direction to paired AirTags so in theory it should be straightforward to find lost skis with them..?

Peter Salzmann from @redbull has just set a wingsuit speed record using a separate foil underneath his wingsuit.

He hit speeds of 120mph whilst jumping from the Jungfrau mountain in Switzerland, covering 12.5km after jumping from 4,063m.

Spent 30 mins last year fumbling around in deep powder with a ski pole trying to find my ski... Hopefully avoiding it this year!

Skis with low profile air tag holders stuck to the front

This is either going to be a genius move or a flop... low profile @Apple AirTag holders on my skis.

When they come off in deep snow and submarine down the hill, whip your iphone out and "Find my.." will give you distance and direction to each ski ⛷️

As there seems to be a mass exodus here, and X is becoming an increasingly unpleasant place to be, I'll be cross posting here initially before looking at a wholesale move.
