It came way toooo fast for so very many of us this year, but thanks to @JetlaggedComic artist Kelly Kincaid I received my water-canon flight! Thanks for the memories! Fly safe to all my fellow pilots at @AmericanAir! - 👨‍✈️Tim

Sigh. So a nearby university just sent me a flyer today to see if I wanted to take their training to “become an airline pilot.” 🙄-👨‍✈️Tim

Well, it is damp and drizzly in DFW but seeing the go-home plane arrive makes it a sunny day. ... but it is still the FO’s walk around! #avgeek

@AMS_ARAM @ametsoc Thank you to all members of the #ARAM committee!!

[Captain Tim @CaptainTimAA]

What if we add automated #turbulence measurements from 125k GA aircraft to the natl model from #ADSB? @NCAR_Science ‘s L. Corman is talking at the #aviation conference at the #AMS2020 #AMS100! Critical for safety in low altitudes. @AlliedPilots safety!

[Captain Tim @CaptainTimAA]

Talking #turbulence at mid-morning session on Tuesday of the #Aviation Range & Aerospace Met #ARAM2020 at #AMS2020 #AMS100. The FAA starts the program with an update of the nowcast of #GTG. This natl 15-min model will keep pilots informed. @AlliedPilots Safety is here!

[Captain Tim @CaptainTimAA]

It is IFR here in KBOS where the @ametsoc 100th annual conference begins. The first #Aviation Range and #Aerospace Meteorology ARAM2020 begins this morning with a look at the successes! #AMS2020 #AMS100 ... proud to represent @AlliedPilots as one of the few pilot operators here!

[Captain Tim @CaptainTimAA]

Starting the #Aviation, Range and #Aerospace Meteorology conference #ARAM2020at #AMS2020 #AMS100 begins with Dr John McCarthy talking about the success story of #microburst hazard mitigation. #avgeek #wxgeek

[Captain Tim @CaptainTimAA]

Happy to brief @NWSOwlieSkywarn on the conditions today for the next flight at #AMS2020 #AMS100! Having the most current #weather forecast with the easiest display is critical for #aviation safety! Professional pilots like us use iPads! @AlliedPilots booth at #Weatherfest!

[Captain Tim @CaptainTimAA]

Registered for #AMS2020 and prepping for the big show Sunday representing @AlliedPilots at #Weatherfest with great friends supporting our education display for #aviation #weather! #avgeeks
