Went out to Daniels Field last night for a "Pilot's BBQ" hosted by some EAA guys that are based at this little grass strip about 20NM north of KEUG. I had two guys ask me about my sim flying, seems I'm sort of becoming the chapter's "sim guy." I made this screenshot of my #XPlane #flightsim logbook, from 7/24/26 to tonight...to illustrate what I do with the sim. Flew an A380, 747-400, SF-50, C172, RV-12, P-51, F-16, F-4 plus others. #avgeeks #aviation #flying #airplanes #EAA #PilotsLove2Eat

Made a second hop tonight from Greenland's southern tip over to Gander Int'l in Newfoundland in my #Xplane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet, coming back to the west coast from the EU. Five airliners (2 747s and three twin-engine wide bodies, maybe 777s?) had to line up and wait for me to lollygag in at 90 kts on final. I think one was honking his horn. RON tonight here. Going to take the Courtesy Yak into town and take a Gander... #avgeeks #aviation

Still working my way west from the EU to the Left Coast via Iceland, Greenland, Nova Scotia in my #Xplane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet. Just landed at Narsarsauq, Greenland, at the far southern tip. First thing I did was put on my "Trump is an idiot" hat so the line guys would sell me fuel. They saw the U.S. registry "N" number and quickly ran the other way. Gee, I wonder why? #avgeeks #aviation #flying

Dropped off my #XPlane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet at Napoli Airport last week, and rented a #Cessna 172 Skyhawk for a VFR tour of Sicily. Hit every airport on the island, and just returned to Napoli. I parked exactly where ground told me, I think, it was broken Italian English. Came back for my jet and found a small problem, not sure but I think it will buff out. Headed back to the states soon. Can I land in Greenland? We own it now, right? #avgeeks #aviation #Italy #Travel #flying

Sitting on the virtual ramp in Inverness, Scotland watching the sun come up after flying from Iceland to complete a North Atlantic crossing in my #Xplane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet. Going to bop around the EU for a while, but first I need to top off with Jet-A. Good price today on their virtual fuel here, $0.00/L which translates to USD$0.00/L. I just need to find a pub and a pint or three. #aviation #avgeeks #flying #Scotland #travel.

Just blasted off from KEWR in my #XPlane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet, bound for St. Johns, Newfoundland (CYYT). Doing the North Atlantic hop over to the EU to fly around for a while. Screenshot is climbing out past NYC. #aviation #avgeeks #flying #travel #EU #Europe

Haven't had my #XPlane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision jet up in a while. It was in for maintenance (in-op thingamabob). Flew into Pangborn Memorial in Wenatchee, WA (KEAT) and after seeing the identifier, somehow I am hungry for dessert. Surely I can find some decent fresh Apple Pie around here. RNAV approach was fun, a tricky five-turn affair thru a small valley of the Columbia River. Parked next to another SF50 and yes, I do have wingtip envy. #avgeeks #aviation #flying #apples #pie

Decided to skip the chaos tonight and fly my #XPlane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet from Lost Wages (KLAS) up to Jackson Hole. It's a virtual charter flight operating as "Dandy 1020" hauling some rich skiers into there for some winter fun. RON tonight in town, and will not be having the Bison Burritos. This is right after departure climbing out past the Strip. #avgeeks #aviation #flying #airplanes
