Good morrow folks it is time for your periodic reminder that I have written a book which is silly, scientifically sourced, full of footnote jokes, and probably an excellent gift for some nerdy person in your life (maybe your own self!) 🧪🔭📚📖

Me the copilot standing next to the tail of a Super DC-3 airplane after having landed on a beach next to an Alaskan river.
TFW you landed the Super 3 on the beach because that’s where the passengers were going. About 12 years ago… #DC3 #flying #ak #Alaska #pilotlife #pilot
