Vale Geoffrey Thomas ✈️
It is with great sadness that we learn that aviation journalist Geoffrey Thomas has taken his final flight.
For decades, Geoffrey was one of the most respected and recognisable voices in aviation journalism. Whether it was a major airline announcement, a new aircraft entering service, an aviation safety issue, or breaking news from anywhere in the world, Geoffrey was often the first person journalists, broadcasters, industry leaders, and aviation enthusiasts turned to for expert insight.
As the Editor-in-Chief of https://t.co/bjX0WQEgrY, he built a reputation for explaining complex aviation topics in a way that everyone could understand. His knowledge of the industry was extraordinary, but it was his passion for aviation that truly set him apart. Geoffrey could speak with equal enthusiasm about the latest airliner technology, airline history, or the future of flight.
For many Australians, Geoffrey became the face and voice of aviation reporting. His calm, measured analysis was a regular feature on television, radio, and in newspapers whenever aviation made headlines. He was trusted because he combined deep expertise with integrity and a genuine love of the industry.
Beyond his professional achievements, Geoffrey was simply a wonderful person. Generous with his time, encouraging to aspiring journalists, and always willing to share his knowledge, he left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to meet him. In an industry built around connecting people across vast distances, Geoffrey connected people through his storytelling, insight, and enthusiasm.
The aviation community has lost one of its greatest advocates, and Australia has lost one of its finest journalists.
Our thoughts are with Geoffrey's family, friends, colleagues, and the countless people whose lives he touched throughout his remarkable career.
Blue skies and tailwinds, Geoffrey. Thank you for helping us all understand and appreciate the wonder of flight. ✈️🌏💙

@mickeysplasht Yes - there's nowhere for the heat to go. So we coldsoak the vehicle before reentry and wear temp-controlled spacesuits. That gives us lots of time before it gets too hot inside - by then we're through and down into the cool upper atmosphere. Like jumping through a ring of fire.
