I posted this last year, (June โ€˜22) but just stumbled on it again - this was over Spain westbound. I was flying a 767-300ER from Nimes France to Lima Peru - this French Air Force E-3 sentry was below us. Great look at the AWACS radar spinning! #Avgeek

Check THIS out. This was a first for me - a French Air Force E-3F AWACS spotted below us. We were at FL330 over Spain, and it was down around 290 I believe. We slowly overtook her. The spinning radome clearly visible! #AvGeek

As ferry pilots, we often fly 20-25 hours across long distances and frequently need to service the engine oil enroute. Especially so with the more tired engines. Turbine oil comes in cans, and since we have to go through security to get to a job, we donโ€™t have tools.

When weโ€™re out over the middle of the Pacific Ocean, thereโ€™s no enroute ATC radar coverage, so we make position reports over HF every time we cross a waypoint (roughly every hour). We communicate with San Francisco ARINC which relays our position to KZAK (Oakland oceanic).

In 2005, I started at a small nonunion MD-80 op based in Vegas. Over the 10 years I worked there, I saw one of the most unlikely airline success stories unfold, while simultaneously struggling to provide for my family. Yesterday I saw a Super Bowl played at Allegiant Stadium.

Rooting for the 49erโ€™s or Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl? The @Allegiant pilots contract is not a game.

Not saying we donโ€™t have a good life (we do) but we spend sometimes 80+ hours per month riding as PAX long-haul, then immediately flying out as crew long-haul. Premium cabins arenโ€™t a luxury - theyโ€™re essential. Weโ€™d have a ton of health probs if we spent that much time seated in

Since the crew rest area tours are always so popular on Xitter (747K impressions already ๐Ÿคช) allow me to share the crew rest area on the DHC-8-200 ๐Ÿ˜‚ It even provides a gentle swaying motion to help you get to sleep!
