TIL there is a rock named "devil's butt" in Czech Canada National Park

Plane taking off from a runway

Absolute gem of a morning, spent in YOW tower. As a student pilot based there, it was such a unique opportunity to ask questions, learn, and just meet the people i spend so much time talking to! Truly great gang ❤️

How to know you're raising a Canadian kid...
Who needs sand anyways 😆

Oh wow. Closest I ever got was premium economy YOW-YYZ 😂 about 4 years ago. Just a wee bit shorter of a flight.

I dont think ive ever been able to use those so I'll just find myself even lower on the list 🤷‍♀️

Michigan being far closer... i desperately need to go there for Pączki.

Oh my goodness I know Canada isnt covered here but seeing red and extrapolating.... bring on the thaw!! It's been a BRUTALLY cold winter out here so far.

Love this post so much! Not ATC here - my ops background is being an aviation meteorologist and operations duty manager (managing flow at a major airport in canada). Also a big avgeek working on my PPL ❤️ and someone who loves making aviation and met more accessible for the world.

The examples of surveillance are terrifying. Also love the "we dont work with ICE" while providing data to another company that does. 😒

Clouds on the horizon of a sky in the afternoon.

Well it looks like tomorrow's flight will be another scrub. Incoming storm on the horizon.

Im really curious and want to see this now. (RCAF was a family favorite growing up)

I haven't seen a superb owl joke yet today...

+1C!!!!

Proud momma 🥰 my little guy starting to find his groove getting his parallel going. Worth braving the -25C today. Way to go buddy!

100% on board with this

My Polish heritage is so proud.
Also Id love pierogi rn.

Same.

Robin Williams did a whole bit on a VERY similar topic in live on Broadway.

Many of you have now seen the announced changes coming to SPC severe weather outlooks. I’ll be going live Tuesday evening with @girlswhochase.com to talk more about the new intensity format. Tune-in to the YouTube or Facebook channels Tuesday at 6pm CT!

I ❤️ this so much. I'll never say baby the same way again. #RIP

Airplane wing overlooking clouds during sunset

Cloud surfing at sunset is one of my favorite window seats views. Unless you're in the cockpit, there's no better seat in the house.

That would be awesome!! (But yes do not come now... youd probably never come again 😂)

Birds eye view of an airport and its runways from the airplane

Ah, back to familiar stomping grounds. On the downwind for 24L.

This is so cool. I was 99% sure you had experience but wasnt sure if it was in ships or subs. I have so many questions now, so beware if we ever meet up - it wont just be aviation related! 😂

I had no idea, thats really cool! FWIW i have great respect for those who work on subs. It's not something I'd ever be able to do.

Hah, our T/S prof's name was Richard. And it was fitting with how he treated the class.

Apologies if this is a dumb question (the extent of my sea legs is deep sea fishing) but what are you expected to rely on when far out to sea if all electronics die? (GPS, navigation maps etc)

How'd you find them? PDEs was really interesting, but i struggled hard with T/S physics. I wouldve loved a class on celestial navigation!

Never mind jobs you had, tell me five classes you took at university.

- thermal and statistical physics
- partial differential equations
- synoptic Meteorology (I/II)
- world of chem: drugs
- cloud physics

Highway overpasses across a river

I remember watching the Buffalo Bayou Park flooding after hurricane Harvey. The pictures and videos of water overflowing these banks, sometimes engulfing the overpasses above. This week i ran the park trail. It's almost impossible to imagine that much water... it was surreal.
