  1. Saw this on my AM gocomics.com run today and instantly thought of @eyeno @WiredForFlight and all the other people I know headed to (or planning to head to) #Oshkosh for #AirVenture.

    Yes, everything is better with extra bacon. And yes, bacon DOES taste better when consumed in #campbacon.

  2. This hour’s random desktop background image on my #MacbookPro is this classic (and heavily Photoshopped) image that has been going around for years.

    It is the “Hotelicopter” and I cannot tell you the number of people I found online that believed it was real.

    Enjoy!

  3. I just suck at flying #helicopters in my #XPlane #flightsim. Just tried to land a Bell 47 on an Oil Rig Platform, and the results were pretty exciting.

  4. Little fun flying a nice PA-18 Super Cub around KOSH in my #xplane #flightsim on a cold, foggy #PNW day. Lots of T & Gs at Pioneer and the Ultralights strip.

    “Hey Sikorsky overhead Oshkosh, this is the Super Cub behind and below you. U good?”

  5. I guess the AI in my #MacbookPro random desktop background generator must have picked up that I have firefighting helicopters on the brain today. This is a 2023 Global Identification Chart from HeliOps.

  6. This hour’s random desktop background image on my #MacbookPro is this press release image from San Diego Fire Department of N283 Sierra Delta, one of their Sikorsky S-70i Firehawk #firefighting #helicopters.

    Just take a few seconds to look at this incredible #rotorcraft. This is one BADASS fire assault and rescue machine, and without question, you need to be a seriously great chopper driver to fly right seat in it.

  7. This hour’s random desktop background on my #MacbookPro is this rendering of a fictional “Hotelicopter”…there were more than a few that believed it was real.

    It’s not.

  8. Having a bit of #XPlane #flightsim fun tonight with the Bell Jetranger #helicopter in NYC. Departed Downtown Manhattan Heliport, took a scenic route by the Lady of Liberty, and buzzed the Observation deck of the Empire State Building. Still no good at #rotorcraft flying but practice makes perfect. I can land it now without crashing, just not exactly where I want yet.
