FlightRadar24 on BlueSky: “When in doubt, go-around! The go-around is safety tool used everyday by pilots all over the world. Here’s what’s happening on the flight deck when a crew decides to go-around.”

Unless you’re me, in XPlane. When in doubt, I stay committed to landing. I got no time for go arounds! 😬 #XPlane #FlightSim #Aviation

Our backyard Nectarine is now in full bloom! #NectarineTree #Yarden #HomeOrchard #BloomScrolling #Fujifilm #SOoC A small Nectarine tree with pink blossoms in full bloom, set against a backdrop of a wooden fence and a clear blue sky.

I’m going to learn to fly this de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver (developed by Thranda for X-Plane 12). Pretty cool that the software includes a paint scheme generator. Cloudy day at Downsview, Toronto. #XPlane12 #FlightSim #ThrandaDHC2 #macOS

Welcome to Superb Owl Sunday.
