Climbing up from Newmarket last night.

Qantas is known as the oldest airline in the English-speaking world - only Dutch KLM is older. But few know of its heroic actions during WW2 where it operated as a sort-of unarmed RAAF unit in disguise, & of the actions of its co-founder, Hudson...

Hi, I am using GoPro 11 to record flights and I have troubles setting it correctly so that the audio input is not distorted:

There is no way to correct the audio output volume, so it would have to set in the GoPro settings. I already tried to...

Come learn about perhaps the most popular trainer aircraft of the 1930s & 40s, the American Piper J-3 Cub. Learn about its history, the Piper company now, & see how to fly the Cub IRL. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

This was honestly the most awe inspiring flight and it was only my second time ever out flying as a PPL holder.. Enjoy!!

Hi All,

just discovered somewhere else to post my vlogs :-)

Couple of shots from Sun N Fun 2024

All taken with my smaller lens, I didn't fancy taking my 800mm prime on holiday. Many more images on ym Flickr. So many more to edit.

Hello everyone,

I am very happy to share with you this little compilation of 5 wonderful years spent at Hop flying CRJ700/1000 and EJET170/190.
Hope you enjoy it!

Best regards,

When that one first appeared at Sun n Fun (2 seater) the announcer was hyping the crowd saying the pilot had been warned not to go supersonic.

Did his ‘blown’ howling slow pass at 220kts, cleaned up and went round the pattern. I started to pay...

A great day despite the weather stopping a lot of visitors coming in. Such a shame as it’s a lovely little strip.

...I adore how the 'texture' of the land is so pronounced with the low sun at this time of year. :D

Just sharing this if any interest.

A beautiful autumn afternoon flight from Rochester to Beccles, ending in one of my best ever landings. Was a great day, highly recommend Beccles to anyone who hasn't been!
