@susan60863766 @JamesMelville Traditionally the Chairman of Augusta National

@JamesMelville I am not getting ahead to Sunday, however, if Rory wins then I am wondering who puts the green jacket on him?

Rory McIlroy just did this on the 17th hole at the Masters. Genius. What a shot. ⛳️

@brandsarebest @AirportWebcams The go around decision can be made by any crew member at the controls

@AirportWebcams Do you know the possible reasons for this?

Today's British Airways #BA268 from Los Angeles LAX (Airbus A380 G-XLEG) made a go-around after a full touchdown at London/Heathrow earlier today. LHR webcams & Live Show links: airportwebcams.net/london-heathro… LAX: airportwebcams.net/los-angeles-in… (c) FlightFocus365 #avgeek #aviation #Airport

@AS332L Fair point

@BairBater It’s a personal story, not a public service announcement. You’re free to scroll past — just as I was free to make it.

I’ve published another video. Probably best to read the information in the info bit itself - saves me typing it here. But - you might like it….a bit of my history…. youtu.be/3Qp1NtR7brM?si…

@jumpjim And Bobby taught how to fly the Harrier. Did you check out the 89, 90, 91 team. When flying was tight!!! 🤣

Interestingly today I managed to find a picture of my old flying instructor from Prestwick Flying College (1990-1992), Flt Lt Bob Eccles (Pictured in the middle bottom) who flew Folland Gnats during the 1974/75 seasons as Red 4 and Red 9. A charming (And picky!) instructor.

@jumpjim @rafredarrows Look at the rogues gallery. 89, 90, 91 teams. When a formation was flown tight!! 😝 Happy days.

I’ve got an exciting day out tomorrow with some work colleagues visiting the @rafredarrows at RAF Waddington. Last time I was there I was about 3 years old, I lived in quarters, and my father was on 617 Squadron on Vulcans! Lots of pics tomorrow… #avgeek #avgeeks #aviation

@NeverteIImeodd Just fuckwits

@scottiebateman About time you became a Skipper - on short haul

London to Hong Kong once took a week. Tonight we’ll do it while most people sleep. This evening I’ll push the A350 away from Heathrow and point it toward Hong Kong one last time for a while before my flying turns westward next month. It’s easy now to forget just how extraordinary this route really is. Tonight we’ll cross half the planet in a single sweep: Europe, Central Asia, and on toward the South China Sea. Even with modern geopolitics bending our track around closed airspace and conflict zones, the journey is still measured in hours. But when this route first opened in the 1930s, London to Hong Kong wasn’t a flight. It was an expedition. The old Imperial Airways flying boats crept east in stages, London to the Mediterranean, on through the Middle East, across India, then down through Southeast Asia. Passengers slept in hotels between sectors while aircraft were refuelled and prepared for the next leg. What we now fly overnight once took a week or more. The geography hasn’t changed, deserts, mountains and oceans still lie between Europe and Asia, but the scale of human possibility has. What once required patience and persistence now requires only a long night and the quiet reliability of a modern aircraft. One more crossing of this remarkable corridor before my compass swings west for a while. Different destinations ahead. Same sky above.

@RichardBurgon Dickie. You write this stuff to appease your constituents. You never engage in a debate to counter the (correct) assertion that you’re spouting rhetoric and misinformation. And by the way, it’s ’alarmed deeply’

I am deeply alarmed that British military bases will be used in Trump's bombing of Iran - these attacks violate international law. The UK government should be focused on de-escalation, diplomacy and a ceasefire - that's the best way of keeping people safe, not following Trump.

@SaulStaniforth What an intellectual Pygmy!

Bridget Phillipson is asked if the govt will allow the US to use British military bases to attack Iran. She says the govt won't comment. She's telling us we have no right to know if they're planning to go to war in our name (until it happens). Dontcha' love democracy.

@airmainengineer Just concentrate on your day job rather than self-promotion. The day you fuck up you’ll be toast!

What pilots do at preflight check ✈️ 📸 raja_in_the_sky

@Platypuss_10 No

Can you guess the name of this beautiful Airport?😍

@DaveWallsworth @Suns Hope you bought the beers!

Change of sport today! Watching the Phoenix Suns @Suns Great views from the cheap seats(!) with 11 of the crew. Suns winning at half time 😊🏀

@MichaelNBooks @SancastleAir @NickMills20898 Why not? I adored it. Mind you, I was 19 and knew very little.

@SancastleAir @NickMills20898 I didn't!!

@airmainengineer RTO FFS!

Can you guess what scenario is happening right now?✈️ 📸simengineerjo Not an ad

@jumpjim @LBC Insta’d Karoline Leavitt who spouts on behalf of the POTUS, your man would do well to re-educate himself about the complexities and strategies surrounding conflict in Afghanistan; but, by way of setting the scene and beginning with lesson 1 - Cooperation - Google Joshua Leakey VC

Just listening to the heartbreaking recollections of British troops from their time “A little back from the frontline” on @LBC with James O’Brien. Grown men and women breaking down while recanting losing their friends and family. That a throwaway comment can cause such heartbreak is sobering,.

@RucRobson @RichardBurgon This!

@RichardBurgon What war? The US performed a drug enforcement operation and captured the biggest drug kingpin on the planet.

Donald Trump has launched a US war on Venezuela, with the US military bombing the capital Caracas. I totally condemn this illegal attack on a sovereign nation. As with the war on Iraq, Trump's regime change is about control of Venezuela’s oil - the largest reserves in the world.

@DaveWallsworth @CPFC Oh the NCP - 😛

Busy few days post-Christmas! Back from Accra this morning, Selhurst Park to watch Palace @CPFC this afternoon and off to Delhi tomorrow. 😊✈️⚽️✈️

@airmainengineer I kid you not. JFK 22R departure in A 777. FOs take off. I saw 10’ on the rad alt and called positive rate. He called gear up, and I did. Observing JetBlue skipper waiting to cross the runway - “Hey Speedbird, you don’t wanna do it any earlier” 😆😆

Do you think the pilot retracted the landing gears early or not? 📸 by ig/tmc.planelord

@LadyMontyA350 @GazRich88 4 hours NCP. Who gives a shit? How’s the mutt?

@GazRich88 I’ll be arriving from IAD in the early hours around 0540…. Will we speak?!?

Days off have arrived. Back to work for a run of 6 days on….🥁…Christmas Eve 😭😩😩. Ah well, at least it’s only a 7am-2pm shift on Christmas Day. On the plus side, no cooking for me! 👌🤭
