Around 10 degrees, dew point not that far off at around 7 degrees, I bet they’re clouding- up nicely on spool- up right now. This OS where I should be! Not sat in a flippin’ Hospital! I miss my ‘normal so much!ii wish the Doctors here would start making some decisions 🤷🏼♂️
Farewell Atlanta 👋🏻
Last count was around 992 aircraft in the @Delta fleet: hundreds flying, hundreds at gates around the world and just a handful on remotes. So how stoked am I that they come park their LA28 Olympic A350 on stand 300, right outside my room at the @RenHotels Concourse.
Thanks to @ATLairport for putting on yet another fantastic show!
WIND CHECK 💨
Fresh back from Anchorage. Winds expected around 25mph with gusts of around 50mph tomorrow! So I’ll be out there, already had the request from @SkyNews 😂 expect to be live around 10am 🚨
SUNDAY SHOW UPDATE
Hey Folks 👋🏻
So after the show on Wednesday where I had a mad attack from bugs, it seems I over exerted myself, I wasn’t feeling good on Thursday but stupidly carried on as normal, overnight I felt worse and subsequently, on Friday was admitted to hospital after feeling unwell - a huge thanks to Gilly for helping out 🙏🏻 so the doctors are keeping me in and I should be out Monday. Please don’t stress over this, the last thing I want is a big fuss. But we think it’s best and only fair to let all you guys know why there’s no show today. All being well I’ll be back in the seat on Wednesday. Oh, and Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there. Jerry
SHOW ALERT 🚨
We landed back from Taipei at 6am today, been driving around trying to avoid falling asleep. I planned to do a show but it’s looking more unlikely as I’d be like a Zombie 🧟♂️ so we’re gonna to do a show tomorrow around midday. Stay tuned for an update.
But it’s great to be back home 💪🏻

FIRST EVER (LIVE) DREAMLIFTER GO AROUND?
@ANCairport was busy this week with the Boeing DreamLifter moving between Nagoya and Charleston via ANC (tech) with Parts for the Dreamliner.
Conditions for this (7R) approach were pretty tricky with variable, gusting conditions. By the time this guy was lined-up, winds had switched and they were fighting a ten knot tailwind! I’m lead to believe that’s the maximum Tailwind landing speed for the 747 🤔 Anyhoo, N780BA returned for a successful 33 Approach and Landing.
Is this the first time a DreamLifter has been caught on film executing a Missed Approach/Go Around 🤷🏼♂️
Thanks @flightradar24 😉 we got her to No1 tracked worldwide 🌎
Attention 1st & Superclass Members…📣Tokyo @Haneda_official is GO! Day 1 (Tuesday) was planned as a Location Reece day BUT with our good friend Captain Hiroki flying-out with @JAL_Official_jp around midday local, we’ll take the opportunity to run a test from the International Terminal Spotting Deck. Set your watches and Set Notifications to ALL - where ever you are 👍🏻
@BigJetTVLIVE@flightradar24 Not only #1 on FR24, Chachi must have caught you on GardenCam, as your climb-out turn went right over Staines-Upon-Thames. Bon Voyage. See you in Tokyo.
It’s official! BIG JET TV’s A380 positioned (with Gear extended) to Staines International for Heavy Maintenance this morning from LR Paint Shop in Surbiton. Rumours are circulating that the Big Jet is scheduled to start operations in Q3 2026.

@BigJetTVLIVE Sports talk...Hurray!! Congrats on the win, JD. We missed you on Wednesday but were in good hands with Gilly, both technical and fun-wise.
IT’S COMING HOME 🏆
A great week of Golf ⛳️ and we got the trophy back! A crazy target of SIX points needed (when they only needed three) on the last day but we battled hard and won our matches 🏌️♂️💪🏻 But hey, it’s so good to hear this sound and be close to aviation once again, even if it’s only been five days 😂 I was even treated to a go-around 👀
See everyone Sunday 👍🏻
The tiny predator Lacrymaria olor owes its shape-shifting ability to an “origami-like” cellular architecture, a new Science study finds. The results offer a glimpse into geometrical control of behavior in single cells.
