#flying

#introduction I’m a #polymath who gets her kicks learning and doing new things. I started in corporate finance, then went freelance as a #writer, #author of #tech #books, articles, and #video training material. Along the way, I learned to fly #helicopters. I launched my own helicopter charter business and a popular #YouTube channel of #flying videos. Now I’m mostly #retired, a #jewelry #artist and #boat #captain, #RVing and #boating with my pups when I’m away from home.

If you're feeling the urge to travel by air (in the US at least) this should quell it nicely #FAA #AI #AirTravel #Flying #DoNotWant

Went out to Daniels Field last night for a "Pilot's BBQ" hosted by some EAA guys that are based at this little grass strip about 20NM north of KEUG. I had two guys ask me about my sim flying, seems I'm sort of becoming the chapter's "sim guy." I made this screenshot of my #XPlane #flightsim logbook, from 7/24/26 to tonight...to illustrate what I do with the sim. Flew an A380, 747-400, SF-50, C172, RV-12, P-51, F-16, F-4 plus others. #avgeeks #aviation #flying #airplanes #EAA #PilotsLove2Eat

🦜 NEW: Behavioral biologist Jorg Massen gave 17 Galah #Cockatoos a daily choice to fly free. The #birds almost always flew, then foraged and raised their crests more. They also showed greater #optimism about finding #walnuts after #flying. Massen sees #flight as an ethological need, tying the #research to #animal welfare that enables their natural behaviors. 👉 https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/do-birds-enjoy-flying-scientists-asked-cockatoos/ #parrots #animals #behavior #animalwelfare #ornithology #nature #science #emotions #biodiversity #zoology #biology #galah

I've been curious because I am hearing a LOT more GA airplanes coming in over my house aiming for 16R and 16L at KEUG, so I went to see what it is costing these days for a private pilot ticket here. One flight school has very good transparency and publishes $13,000 - $17,000 for the average student, and can go as high as $20,000 for "extended schedules" where students fly only once a week or less. Yeah, and $8.80/gal for 100LL at the field's only FBO. #Ouch #avgeeks #aviation #flying

I navigatied to a canyon that I followed down, maintaining sight of the canyon wall until I could see the ground at the bottom. Then I headed inbound toward the airport, breaking through a wall of smoke into perfectly clear air. It's flights like this that a pilot remembers for their entire life. I would never have attempted anything like this in an airplane. But in a helicopter, things are different. Slowing down and stopping in midair are all possibilities. #AvGeek #flying (2/2)

It's great to see another CAC Boomerang return to the sky with tests flights of A46-54 (VH-MHB) earlier this year. Some great footage of this aircraft here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48d16t1H8-8 https://www.briangrinter.com/2026/07/another-boomerang-takes-flight/ #flying #warbirds

Idly wondering if SARSAT will listen for anything on 121.5, 243, and/or 406, and not just for ELT tones. Info that just may become useful someday. #Aviation #Flying

Still working my way west from the EU to the Left Coast via Iceland, Greenland, Nova Scotia in my #Xplane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet. Just landed at Narsarsauq, Greenland, at the far southern tip. First thing I did was put on my "Trump is an idiot" hat so the line guys would sell me fuel. They saw the U.S. registry "N" number and quickly ran the other way. Gee, I wonder why? #avgeeks #aviation #flying
