I find that studying, or a bit of anger works equally well! Anger tidying is surprisingly productive!!!

a pilot is flying a fighter jet in the air . ALT: a pilot is flying a fighter jet in the air .

Set aside today to study - ready for my return to flying the jet.
I can report that so far, the bathroom has been deep cleaned, and I've made a trip to the dump!!

Built for an upcoming competition at RAF Leeming, 1/72 @RevellGermany Tornado GR4 of 617 Sqn (converted from the GR1 kit). I'm going to build another (my friend's personal aircraft) and then choose the best to go forwards.

Busy in the paint shop.. One of a number of potential entries for annual Airfix Cadet instructor category competition (theme is display/commemorative scheme).
Will build a couple then choose the best - got to beat my nemesis..
Tornado GR4 of 617 Sqn - very much work in progress..

Worst possible time to have the worst possible people in power - yet again, the US sells out on its allies. When will we all finally realise that they are not reliable partners? Europe needs to step up! The deterrent is dead & China is watching

As a professional pilot, there are 2 things that scare me the most: fire, and mid air collision. My heart goes out to all involved - there are serious questions to be answered, and quickly - something has gone catastrophically wrong. #planecrash

Still getting used to duplicating posts - but: After a difficult 3 years of being medically grounded, I return to my flying job tomorrow! I can't say how relieved I am, and my employer has been amazing. Time to push the big reset button and get on with my life!!!

As a current 737 pilot, I find the tragic events in South Korea to be absolutely shocking. There are questions - as this doesn't add up...
Condolences to the families that have lost loved ones...

Russia warns against "Hypotheses"... Well, I'm an ex Embraer pilot and I have one. Russia shot it down because they're savages. The evidence is there - and knowing about the systems on the Embraer -it figures. Politics aside, the crew did a heroic job.

Hi everyone! It's back to the regulator for further review (ironically, feeling much better).. Hoping to actually hit the summer flying season this year - it's been a tough time...

That's the speed that I land at... Just as smooth too...🤪

Good morning - we're a few hours behind you!!

Always the way it works! It would be a bad year if they get to mine. But....global warming...who knows!

Any scale modelling people on here?

I'm just trying to remember the names so I'm covered for the pub quiz...!

Glad to see you here! Hope you're enjoying your break..!

Disturb my coffee!!!

Two seat versions of all aeroplanes are more attractive. Change my mind....

Masked and primed inside and out. HUDs to fit and then onto the rest of the model. This bit always makes me uneasy..!

Lots of stuff about books on here.. I love books and actually worked in a library in a lovely ancient village as a teenager - best part time job ever! For many years, I would get first pick of disposals - I picked some absolute gems...

@pilotalison.bsky.social
We got there!!!

Yay! See how this new site does... Hopefully less of Musk and Temu...!!!

Surprised to find that #airfix isn't here yet.. we're waiting..!

I should introduce myself too..! I'm primarily an airline pilot currently on the 737 classic. Do a bit of school teaching, also a specialist & examiner in microbiology (pathology) in a teaching hospital. Long story how it happened!!!
Recently lost my twin, so I occasionally post grief stuff...

Books and aeroplanes - I'm here for it....!!! Better than lots of Temu...🙄

So... I've just landed - is there anyone out there? Here to talk mostly aviation, space, science, piano and Airfix!! Also on X...
Come say hi - let's be friends!
