The FAA's Charles Taylor Award only goes to techs with 50+ years wrenching — named for the man who built the Wright Flyer's engine. Glenn Robbins just earned his. Who taught you to respect a logbook? https://aero-news.net/index.cfm?do=main.textpost&id=78F55115-AFBD-4CDA-91E5-596D3A2A26BA #avgeek

This one looks wild. Alaska is not for the faint of heart. #aviation #flightsimulation #avgeek

242 years ago today, Vincenzo Lunardi flew England's first hydrogen balloon — Artillery Ground, London, 200,000 watching. 24 miles to Hertfordshire, dog, cat, and pigeon aboard. Ever flown anything that old-school — balloon or glider? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenzo_Lunardi #avgeek

X-Plane 12.4.4 shipped persistent, regionalized snow tied to live/historical weather. Small patch note, big deal for anyone whose VFR plan met weather nothing like forecast. The sim keeps closing the gap with reality. #flightsim

The UK's Light Aircraft Association just wrapped its 80th Anniversary Rally at Leicester Airfield — homebuilders tent, a fleet history display, eight decades of amateur-built GA. EAA AirVenture's UK cousin. Ever been to one? https://www.lightaircraftassociation.co.uk/rally2026 #generalaviation

EASA: 75% of weather GA accidents in Europe are fatal — VFR-into-IMC leads. Concept preview: Odyssey Command means scrub or divert too. Ever scrubbed? #generalaviation

Just read a GA News column on speculative crash reporting — one report falsely claimed a pilot had no medical when he was flying legit under BasicMed. Anyone seen bad reporting botch a story? https://link.odysseyaviation.io/sp/400d22656ec

VATSIM Listen is live: real ATC comms from across the network, no sim login needed. Great for CFI training or just radio surfing. Early rollout, so 15 min/hour for now. 25 years of VATSIM and they're still shipping. http://tblt.link/VJMDn8X #vatsim #generalaviation

It's always nice to get to the airport a little early. Do some sightseeing. #atlanta #sightseeing #airliner #takeoff #frontier

The #kosh scenery isn't where it needs to be before #AirVenture season. I'm not comfortable shipping it, so I'm not.

Refocusing on Odyssey Command. That's the thing that matters most.

Building in public is scary. Doing it anyway. #msfs #flightsimhashtag/flightsimulation" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#flightsimulation #eaa #flightsim

They shortened a Utah backcountry runway by 1,800 feet for a "sensitive environmental area."

Marc and Haebin went to check it out. 🌵

We're so close... Odyssey Command is nearing #closedalpha. Telemetry is flowing from the client, missions are being generated, and I'm spending the weekend preparing the Windows client for distribution. Testing begins next week. #simwithodyssey #aviation #flightsim
