Coming into Brisbane this evening E190

My Samsung doesn't do it justice, but always love being above the clouds.

Leaving Honolulu last week on QF104. Always a sad moment after a special break with family, but an instant reminder of very happy days when viewing the picture later. Magical place.

Hello Canberra


Deflating CBR. Back down.

Now, how do I log that flight on Openflights? Type, duration and rego noted but departure and arrival points… hmmm.

A bit of turbulence should sort that lot out

Mt Everest, KTM to PBH

The approach into Paro was also spectacular

Not quite in the spirit of this thread but I was excited to see a 214 kph tailwind and an effective ground speed of 1138 kph from my SQ A380 a couple of nights ago.

So close, could almost see the Ryanair flight bounce over the berm.

Also, a shout out to the BA FO who gave me a wave in return. Made my day. And I almost knocked down a farm fence from their departing jet blast. I like to think the FO was PIC. Legend.

Santorini airport, 6/6/25.

Nice. Clocked 1093 k's a couple of years ago on an Air NZ flight between Sydney and Auckland.

Fuji, taken Dec 2017. JAL has an amazing little tool to help you take these shots too!

Window like an Italian train.

That’s better than any Italian train window I’ve ever seen

I should have said "a cleaner Italian train window".

I was thinking a top tip for travellers in Italy would be to know your window in advance and bring along some Windex and a Chux to give it a clean before boarding.
