My first go at a formation break on Saturday. Can’t wait until I get the chance to fly a Bird Dog again! #WingviewWednesday #avgeek

On Saturday, I had one of the best days of my life. I got to fly a T-6 Texan for the first time, and my friend even demonstrated a little bit of rolling in it! Can’t ask for much more than that! #avgeek #FlightDeckMonday

Working on this airplane has been one of the hardest, most challenging things I have ever done. From its first test flight in 2017, to now 6 airplanes in commercial service, it has been very rewarding. Feels real good to get some recognition for that effort (one year later!)

Five years ago: My first solo flight. The start of a journey that has truly been the adventure of a lifetime. The people, places and experiences are unlike anything I could have ever imagined. 620 hours later, I am still excited for what’s to come! #avgeek

Oshkosh 2024! What a fantastic experience for my second year. So thankful for all the friends I got to see, and of course all the airplanes! #avgeek #OSH24

Kelly was CEO of Rockwell Collins (now Collins Aerospace) when I first started there. I am a firm believer having someone who has been involved directly in the engineering process (Kelly is a mechanical engineer) is the correct person to lead a company like this.

Happy #NationalAviationDay! Flying to me would be nothing without the amazing people I have shared this incredible journey with along the way. Words can’t even begin to describe how grateful I am. #avgeek

Knocked out 58 landings in this Aeronca Champ on Sunday! The most landings I have ever done in a single day. Still have plenty to work on, especially pavement landings. But it is good I still know how to safely fly Tailwheels! #avgeek

Found myself back in a 172 finally! Spent Saturday in the right seat coaching a friend through some instrument approaches and holds, and even flew some myself from the right seat. Ended a fun day flying around Florida with a mega rainbow over Kissimmee on the way back in! #avgeek

Found my way to Paris over Labor Day weekend! A short 3 days, but I had an absolute blast (except getting sick on my last day!) Ran into my cousin from Australia on the first day, which I think was the highlight! Super cool to catch up with him in this incredible city 🇫🇷
