  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🦅🐟 #Wildlife photographer Mark Smith captured #slowmotion #video of an osprey battling a thrashing #ladyfish.

    To overcome the slippery #slime thrown by the #fish, the bird uses microscopic foot scales called spicules and flexible rotating #talons to maintain a secure four-clawed grip.

  5. I've been curious because I am hearing a LOT more GA airplanes coming in over my house aiming for 16R and 16L at KEUG, so I went to see what it is costing these days for a private pilot ticket here.

    One flight school has very good transparency and publishes $13,000 - $17,000 for the average student, and can go as high as $20,000 for "extended schedules" where students fly only once a week or less.

    Yeah, and $8.80/gal for 100LL at the field's only FBO.

  7. I navigatied to a canyon that I followed down, maintaining sight of the canyon wall until I could see the ground at the bottom. Then I headed inbound toward the airport, breaking through a wall of smoke into perfectly clear air.

    It's flights like this that a pilot remembers for their entire life.

    I would never have attempted anything like this in an airplane. But in a helicopter, things are different. Slowing down and stopping in midair are all possibilities. #AvGeek #flying (2/2)
