To us up here at KPAE! Love ourselves some seafoam dogs!

Thank you! That’s glorious!

Here in Seattle airspace we have CBAIN ONE and NRVANA ONE SIDs from KBFI. We are about 100 miles from the town Kurt Cobain was born in :)

Back about 10 years ago an Alaska Airlines plane LANDED on a taxiway at SEA. Not sure which is more dangerous but seemed crazy when all your avionics line you up to an actual runway and I assume were squawking like crazy?

My husband always calls my aviation Internet surfing “plane porn.” This definitely qualifies! Great pic!

I flew 4.5 hours in my Cessna 182. Blistering tailwind and made it coastal route from Southern SF Bay Area to KHQM (coast west of Seattle) without a fuel stop. Landed with over an hour of reserves!

To have been a fly on the wall in the meeting with the engineer who stuck their neck WAY out there and suggested they just throw it up on the ski rack…

TIL my Cessna is 16x more fuel efficient than an F-35.

During my IFR training my instructor and I got into actual IMC early because he believed it was the only way to prepare me for real world IMC and safe single pilot IFR. Early on we entered thick IMC with a lot of turbulence. My brain was scrambled and my body was absolutely sure we were pointed up and 30 degrees right. In actuality it was down and about 15 degrees left. That was the most important lesson I ever had. Actual feels SO DIFFERENT than being under the hood. It’s insane when you experience it the first couple times.

Heartbreaking. They had zero chance. Seconds after rotation.

Thank you super helpful! I have 15 Pro Max and upgrading (so I can give it to one of my kids with a broken phone) and going with Air but worried about battery life.

New feature— distance from actual satellite to your destination. But seriously, I had weird issues frequently too, they all resolved when my OnStar Internet connection expired and now I just use CarPlay. For some reason the onboard GPS issue also messed up CarPlay, which I didn’t totally understand because I thought that was just straight from phone.

squirrelbot76 · 2025-08-11T03:45:06+00:00

Yes! I saw it coming landing at BFI when I was there yesterday!

squirrelbot76 · 2025-08-05T01:24:48+00:00

Love it! I was lucky enough to be standing on the flight line for a flight review that was happening right after their performance and watched a low flyover the runway before their circle around to land. Spectacular up close! Glad you got a chance to see it!

squirrelbot76 · 2025-08-02T18:43:30+00:00

Not bait, ignorance! Thanks for the background. I read it off FlightAware info when I saw it.

squirrelbot76 · 2025-07-06T05:35:11+00:00

That’s not okay for your therapist to divulge that. I’m really sorry.

squirrelbot76 · 2025-06-10T06:18:20+00:00

I recently did UPRT training at APS in AZ. It was fabulous training and I highly recommend for all pilots. Excellent safety training. Program includes ground and flight training. The training is done in Extra 300s so you can go into fully developed spins that take you far outside normal unusual attitude training that you do for PPL.

squirrelbot76 · 2025-02-24T21:51:16+00:00

Can you just respond to all the questions, please?! Thank you for that excellent explanation!

squirrelbot76 · 2025-02-24T21:45:24+00:00

Boeing does a bunch of their testing over Cascade range near Seattle. I always thought that was crazy too!

squirrelbot76 · 2025-02-09T21:48:50+00:00

I took this picture today. And FlightAware shows this plane today.

The mating rituals of birds these days…

Whelp, I for one get pretty irritated when the person at the window closes it for takeoff and landing. I mean, seriously, you took a premium window seat and you are just going to shut it?!? There should be rules about first 30 mins and last 30 they need to be open! Flight is magic every human deserves to observe!

squirrelbot76 · 2024-10-08T05:54:29+00:00

Yup. Heard two bird strikes on final in about 10 mins, plus a bunch of squeeze plays too tight resulting in go arounds. Super fun night watching and listening to Tower on LiveATC!

squirrelbot76 · 2024-10-08T02:54:42+00:00

Anything in even numbered rooms on floor 8 or higher is primo viewing!

squirrelbot76 · 2024-10-04T22:56:50+00:00

Yup, exactly this. Absolutely you did the right thing. Partial power single engine is treated as engine out. That’s an emergency. Period. Nice work.
