James Ward

My first flight back to @manairport was always going to be a fantastic day, but I must give a huge shout out to @Supersi1 who put up with the ‘glorious’ British weather 🌧 to capture this incredible shot the moment our wheels touched down!

This flag will always fly.

Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

Elegance in the air and on the ground. This is the Emirates A350. ✈️✨

Introducing the Sleigh380. Santa's going long-haul this year! Merry Christmas from Emirates. 🎅🎄🎁

@PeoplesAndy @swfc If I wasn't on reserve I'd have flown back today to go to the Oxford game

I’ll be on the first flight back from Dubai when that time comes! Brilliant to see the @swfc fans today. @ward_jr

Travel will always provide a fresh perspective on the world. ✈️ 🌎 👀

@robloxbrostm No, we need to be type rated on both, which I’ve spent the last month or so completing

@ward_jr Are you allowed to fly the A350 with an A380 type rating only?

And now for something completely different 🛫 A350 loading…

@Simonpass9Pass Glad you enjoyed the flight and the landing but I can’t claim that one unfortunately

@ward_jr Just wondered if you captained us on EK19 Sunday evening to Manchester . Not sure if the captain said James Ward or White . Either way it was a fabulously smooth flight and landing

A few firsts for me on today’s 3:50 flight to Colombo as #EK654 First flight to Colombo, First time visiting Sri Lanka First ever ETOPS flight First time flying A6-EXB

It's hard not to be in awe when you see an A380 take off. 🛫

@YasirJ888 Thank you very much 😊

@ward_jr wish you v happy worlds pilots day bro keep flying

@adrianpdy Most places, no we don’t need sim landing before flying to an airport but there are some in the world that require it As for ETOPS, it’s the rules that allow twin engine aircraft to fly extended periods away from suitable airports, something I never worried about in the 380

@ward_jr What is ETOPS? Do you do sim landings at airports that you have never landed before?

@JAMESMARTlN Thank you 🙏🏼

@ward_jr 👏👏👏 Enjoy Colombo

@monkeyhead78 Cheers mate! Looking forward to ticking off another country

@ward_jr We love SL. Enjoy your stop over.

@GoodBoy62334802 I didn’t, but we got a great view as they passed underneath on their journey to Brisbane

@abubakarsh97 Ooh. Very tough question. Too early to tell so far

@ward_jr If you had to pick, 380 or 350?

@guyaglionby Unfortunately not. I am flying back on the 655 but it’ll be tomorrow. 24 hours to enjoy Colombo first 😊

@ward_jr Will you be flying 655 back this eve?

@ALDAOU4 Thanks! It's a beautiful aircraft!! See you on board soon

@ward_jr Congratulations, looking forward to do the 350 Conversion and meet onboard, fellow CSV here

After 2 weeks on the ground completing my A350 type rating, it’s time to head back to the sky for sectors 1 & 2 on this incredible aircraft 2:30 to Mumbai and back again aboard A6-EVD as #EK502 #EK503 🇦🇪✈️🇮🇳

@a_flyguy Thank you! And yes, I'll be flying both the 380 and the 350 going forward 😀

@ward_jr Congratulations on another type! Would you continue to fly the 380 as well?
