If you were sitting atop Mount Everest’s summit in your lounge chair while sipping on a beer and we happened to fly directly over the top of you, there would be a mere 22 meters clearance between you and I.

Port of Miami on the left, Fisher Island and Key Biscayne on the right, what a view! And the best part? Just saw one of our Queens of the Skies fly directly overhead on her way to some far away destination. First night in our new home… Now come the renovations…

After a nice block of days off we’re back at it. Quick 4 hours down to Quito out of Atlanta and we’ll finish the day off at home back in Miami. Feels good to be back up flying!

When flying the -8 I enjoy the flexibility that the 3 multi-function displays (MFDs) afford me in the way I choose to display relevant information during the all important pre-flight procedure. During fueling I like to have my MFD on the fuel synoptic so I can monitor the fueling

A mere observation… Why do we Americans and Europeans insist on dressing up like Indiana Jones anytime we travel to South America? It’s freaking hilarious! 🤣🤣😂

Last Miami-Manaus-Quito-Miami run for the month. Laying over in Quito tonight and looking forward to a juicy steak at Tributo! Beautiful day here, en route, in Manaus and in Quito too!

That’s a wrap! Back in Quito, engines off and parking brake set after a long day. Then two hours later? Enjoying a delicious steak with my First Officer Al. Good flight, good company, good conversation, good food… What else could you ask for?

It’s 32 °C with an 87% relative humidity factor in the middle of the Amazon rainforest at high noon in the summertime… You try looking pretty in uniform… Not happening.
