On my lunch break during recurrent class I went up to one of my favorite bird-watching spots along the north runways and this old lady rolled in. All sorts of modern jetliners and the one bird that caught my eye was this 1956 vintage Convair. Oh the stories she must have…

One of a kind. Only 4 in the whole entire world… This gorgeous girl will someday grace the hallowed halls of the Smithsonian Institution, welcome aboard the DreamLifter. “You’ll never make a good living staring out a window…” Showed my middle school teacher now didn’t I…

I love the smell of jet fuel in the morning!! About to kick off a 10 hour flight from beautiful southern #Italy across the North Atlantic back to Boeing Airplanes in #Charleston #SouthCarolina with several tons worth of #B787 #DreamLiner fuselages fresh from the factory here in #Taranto. I love knowing that one day I’ll be able to show one of these 4 amazing jets to my grandchildren while going to an #aviation museum somewhere and tell them how I actually flew the museum piece we’re looking at… #QueenOfTheSkies #B747 #DreamLifter #pilot #airlinepilot #pilots

Third seat duties.. The sheer size of this flying behemoth, the weights she can effortlessly carry on her wings and the freight volumes she can handle truly belie her grace, speed, nimbleness and maneuverability. To those who have been lucky enough to fly her, you know exactly what I mean, and to those who have not, trust me. She truly is a thing of beauty and the only #QueenOfTheSkies. #aviation #B747 #airlinepilot #pilot #pilots #freighter #freight #JumboJet

Huge thanks to the SydSquad boys for catching my landing into beautiful Sydney Airport earlier this morning! I’m so happy I was able to show off a little bit of what the #QueenOfTheSkies is capable of when flown with precision and a light touch. She truly is a dream to fly! I’m attaching the link to their broadcast for your enjoyment. Scroll to about 08:30a to watch the final approach and landing! Thanks again boys!! #aviation #B747 #pilot #airlinepilot #Sydney #Australia #SydSquad

That is a beautiful sight! It’s amazing when you’re able to visualize the wake turbulence, landing gear drag and massive vortices created by a 747 in the landing configuration! When tower tells you “caution wake turbulence heavy 747” you’d better pay attention!

Off to Brazil last month… My flying First Officer’s wife caught our departure off of Miami Int'l Airport Miami’s runway 9 from the famous “El Dorado” furniture store spotting location. Flap 10 takeoff, relatively light. Beautiful day to take this gorgeous lady out for a spin!

There is absolutely nothing more beautiful than catching the sun sink below the horizon from 41,000 feet up. I’ve always felt a sense of nostalgia, almost sadness at the sight of the setting sun because it signifies the end of another day on this earth and one less to live. I’ve seen thousands of these and each one truly is a deeply moving experience. Live each day to the fullest, tell your loved ones you love them and give thanks to God for all you have! I do every day.
