Thanks for the memories dad, it was great to hear and see all the wonderful times in your life today.
One last adventure for 2024! Next stop, Taiwan! 🇹🇼 Excited to explore, eat and enjoy the culture! @EVAAirUS
Melbourne got a special visitor today, an Airbus Beluga! Put that up there as one of the coolest things I have ever seen! #avgeek
On a weekend that I was supposed to be in Abisko, Sweden and the Lofoten Islands in Norway, this is insane to see. The timing for me to be here was right with the geomagnetic storm happening, but the hurricane in Florida said otherwise!
Absolutely MIND-BLOWING #aurora visiting us in Arctic Norway thanks to recent solar activity. Breathtaking colours evident to the unaided eye, unlike any I've seen in the #northernlights before. Chasing in Lofoten with @Hurtigruten.
Well, I was supposed to be flying out to Sweden on Wednesday. Unfortunate, but there are way more important things happening right now than a trip.
Operational Update/3 – Hurricane Milton
Our airport will cease commercial operations on Wednesday morning, in advance of Hurricane Milton. This move was made in coordination with our partners. We will resume commercial operations as soon as it is safe.

One year ago today: @U2 at @SphereVegas. The greatest album of all time, with an incredible visual experience to back it up.
Had such a great time in Los Angeles this weekend. Planes, amazing people and endless fun. Thankful for such a great community of people who have a great love of airplanes. Thanks @NYCAviation for organizing such a great event! #avgeek #SpotLAX2024 @flyLAXairport
So glad I was able to see @flying_briann at @flyLAXairport today! Long ago are the days of us flying together in Florida. Super proud of everything he continues to do in aviation. #dorkfest #spotlax2024 #avgeek
It’s that time of year again! Off to Los Angeles for #SpotLAX2024! Great day to be flying a @Delta bird! #avgeek @MCO
Found my way to Paris over Labor Day weekend! A short 3 days, but I had an absolute blast (except getting sick on my last day!) Ran into my cousin from Australia on the first day, which I think was the highlight! Super cool to catch up with him in this incredible city 🇫🇷
Found myself back in a 172 finally! Spent Saturday in the right seat coaching a friend through some instrument approaches and holds, and even flew some myself from the right seat. Ended a fun day flying around Florida with a mega rainbow over Kissimmee on the way back in! #avgeek
Knocked out 58 landings in this Aeronca Champ on Sunday! The most landings I have ever done in a single day. Still have plenty to work on, especially pavement landings. But it is good I still know how to safely fly Tailwheels! #avgeek
Happy #NationalAviationDay! Flying to me would be nothing without the amazing people I have shared this incredible journey with along the way. Words can’t even begin to describe how grateful I am. #avgeek
I’m a Commercial Multi-Engine Pilot! Another milestone on this wild and crazy adventure that I love so much. So much more learning and experiences to come!! #avgeek
Kelly was CEO of Rockwell Collins (now Collins Aerospace) when I first started there. I am a firm believer having someone who has been involved directly in the engineering process (Kelly is a mechanical engineer) is the correct person to lead a company like this.
We’re pleased to announce Kelly Ortberg as Boeing’s new President and Chief Executive Officer.
