Tail wag shown actual speed 🐕 Thought I’d make you all a little ab workout...but then I got some, erm, “help”! Bull terrier optional 🤦🏻‍♀️ #abs #bullterrier #dogs #helicopterpilot #workout

@scottiebateman Nah, dunno what you’re talking about, rubbish weather this weekend 😉 ….by “small aircraft”, I assume you mean one with the wings rotating on top….one might even call them rotary wings….

I’m super jealous seeing everyone flying in this amazing weather in the U.K. this weekend. I need to sort out my life out and get access to a small aircraft. My next project might be the impetus I need. Let’s see. Have you been out in the blue skies this weekend ?

@mraustin @scottiebateman Ohhh he is so ready and so am I!!! 🚁 🧙

@scottiebateman .@AMFitEpsom is Scottie ready to try flying a 🚁

Filming from the skids of the chopper… seeking redemption for past sins. 😂😂 Stunning views of Christ the Redeemer … couldn’t fly closer as I may have been struck by a bolt of lightening from those above. 😂 #Brazil #Rio

@scottiebateman Runways? What are they for?

Runways. We all need runways. Luftwaffe - hold my beer 🍻

@kejamieson_ Best. Selfie. Ever. 😍

G managed to take his own selfie today whilst knocking the phone out of my hand 😂🐶

@rawlimark How is this news, surely everyone knows helicopter flying is utterly fantastic 😉 Glad you loved it tho, best thing ever on a sunny British day :)

@scottiebateman Mythical beasts, operated by magical sky wizards with a love of sunglasses….now it’s really time you don those shades & find out how amazing these beasts really are… 🚁 🧙

On this #WorldHelicopterDay, I have to doff my cap to those who fly the spinning discs of doom. I’ve carried many inside my aircraft and flown on a fair few. I’m not a fan, for so many rational & irrational reasons. But without these beasts so many lives would’ve not been saved, through the bravery of the crews and the utility of the helicopter. 🚁 So…respect is due. And …I’ve committed to conquering my anxiety soon. Maybe.

@scottiebateman @chadocl @JTChinook Yup, those aircraft should happily fly in that situation if an engine failed & they’ll have clearance to fly route & heights for the training exercise so all looks well in chopper world Now @scottiebateman weren’t you going to take your first step with me to helicopter expert…

I’m no helicopter expert. However, these are twin engined turbine helicopters which can easily fly on one at the kinda weights I’d imagine they are operating here. Apart from the noise being a nuisance …I don’t see anything risky here. But will defer to @JTChinook or @AMFitEpsom who are actually helicopter experts.

@flyabout7 You’re correct, your carpets aren’t very good for a dog’s teeth! 😱😂

I hear that carrots are good for dog’s teeth. The same can’t be said for my carpets! 🤣 He’s enjoying it, so that’s all that matters. ☺️ #RalphtherescueLurcher

@msrachelramsay Hurrah, it’s amazing, we will be going there again soon too, booked a cottage and everything 🤩

@AMFitEpsom It is the Lakes, so you’d better lie down 🤣

My out-of-office is on and I’m about to break my no-UK-holidays rule to visit a part of the country everyone else has been to that I haven’t. Any guesses where? Not Bath 😉

@rawlimark This. Exactly this. I still post occasional fun pictures on insta but kinda lost the will with Twitter….really enjoy your threads tho, specially tales from the tube with pixelated face people 🤩

@eggsinasquare @Crispyrat @clearofcloud Helicopters: mythical beasts operated by magical sky wizards with a love of sunglasses 😎 That is all

@IndoPilot The burgers at Wycombe Air Park (Booker Airfield to its friends) are bloody good, I seem to remember sweet potato fries too 🤤

What’s your best recommendation for a UK airfield for a nice lunch today?

@GazRich88 Honestyl, I've heard Rainbow 1 on the air so many times it barely even registers any more....except when he was opposite direction in the cloud above me the other day, then we both paid attention 🤩

Honestly. They land there all the bloody time! I control them in!! THIS IS NOT NEWS!!

@essex_andrew @GazRich88 It's even better in the front....while doing the flying :-)

@AMFitEpsom @GazRich88 I went around the helilanes years ago in the back of a Jet Ranger a fascinating trip, that was back when I flew rotary, I never really fell in love with helicopters.

First helilanes of the year & just spoke to @GazRich88 on the radio, be still my beating heart 🤩

@GazRich88 ....and for once it wasn't my dodgy flying causing the hilarity! Must've been my "dulcet tones" comment, glad to have brightened January on your airwaves😂

@AMFitEpsom 🤣🤣 you made me laugh a lot!!

@Martin_U_23 @Four3Five9 @AnnekaRice @Channel4 I’m in, I’ll “drive” the helicopter 🚁

@Four3Five9 @AnnekaRice @Channel4 Only if @AMFitEpsom gets to drive the helicopter.

Aw ..on this day in 1982, the first edition of Treasure Hunt was broadcast on Channel 4. We had an insane amount of fun and it changed the face of tv for ever! A woman centre stage of the action! It was a HUGE moment in tv history ..⁦Nice one @Channel4⁩ for big plans!

@mrshoefsmit I need these in my life!!

@AMFitEpsom You just need these earrings now!! 🚁

Merry Christmas. That is all. 🦒🥂
