Bizarrely, it appears that Trump’s nominee to lead the FAA has been lying about holding a commercial pilot license www.politico.com/news/202…. #aviation

www.politico.com

Trump’s FAA pick has claimed 'commercial' pilot license he doesn’t have

Bryan Bedford, the nominee to head the Federal Aviation Administration, for years erroneously stated in his Republic Airways bio that he is a pilot with a “commercial” rating.

After a hiatus of a year and a half I got to fly this again on Saturday, as a volunteer pilot at the Canadian Aviation Museum. I’m rusty for sure but hoping to get the hang of it soon. Such an honor to fly such a cool airplane! #avgeek #aviation

I do occasionally enjoy some applied physics. #aviation

Me piloting a plane, specifically a 1950s DHC-1 Chipmunk, wearing a cloth helmet and headset and looking to the left while turning so the horizon is tilted by maybe 30 degrees

Had a nice vantage point for the last sunset of 2024 #avgeek #aviation

The sun setting over the ocean, as viewed from a small airplane at about 4500 feet. The right wing is in view.. Along the coastline between the water and the mountains, a layer of cloud obscures the shore.

A view of me at the controls of the plane, which is a Piper Archer, with a glass panel. I am essentially flying into the sunset.

I wanted some aviation-related things so I commissioned an artist & now I have a new favorite tank top & a safety-enhancing bumper sticker! You can get your own versions at the Redbubble store linked on my new (very bare-bones so far) website, www.flyingphysics.com, if you like! #aviation #avgeek

Me standing in front of the big show arch at Oshkosh AirVenture wearing a tank top that says “Dog is my co-pilot”. The image on the shirt is a cartoon of a low-wing airplane in which there is a human in the left (pilot) seat and a happy goofy dog in the right (copilot) seat

Another view of me standing in front of the AirVenture arch, this time a longer view so you can see the full length of the tank top. I’m wearing shorts and looking to the side.

A bumper sticker that says “CAUTION easily distracted by airplanes”. It’s being held up in front of the back of a Ridgeline truck with a bike rack on it. It’s not my truck; it’s a rental.

Spent some quality alone-time in the sky yesterday 🛩️ #aviation #avgeek

A view from 5000 feet in a small airplane. There are lots of green fields below and a scattered cloud layer about 500 feet above, with high cirrus clouds far overhead

A selfie of me flying the plane. I’m wearing aviator sunglasses and a headset, looking relaxed

A photo of the plane (a Mooney) parked on the tarmac with the setting sun behind, lighting up the high clouds orange

One of my favorite kinds of flying is taking up friends and sharing the joy of #GeneralAviation. From the last few months: flights with my NASA friend Holly, @maryrobinettekowal.com & her fighter-pilot-veteran father-in-law Glenn, and @malwaretech.com. #avgeek #aviation
