Congratulations to my son Glen Atwood who last week at age 20, added a full CE-525 #CessnaCitation type rating to his commercial pilot certificate! Quite possibly one of the youngest pilots on the planet with this rating! Wow!

Crazy, strong winds makes an on-time arrival difficult on recent flt from SJU-JFK. Mother nature must think it's Feb?

@Astro_Wheels Hey Wheels! Has a space-walking astronaut ever been struck by a micro-meteorite? What kind of damage do these things cause?

Congratulations to Dino! @LePadre07 Who was also first to correctly identify this airport location as Barcelona!

[William E. Atwood @Pilot1Bill]

One more! Who will be first to correctly identify the location of this airport?

[William E. Atwood @Pilot1Bill]

Congratulations to Dino @Lepadre07 Who correctly identified Cancun as the location of this control tower.

[William E. Atwood @Pilot1Bill]

@LePadre07 Congratulations Dino
Putting a beer advertisement on a control tower, just seems a little inappropriate to me.

[William E. Atwood @Pilot1Bill]

Why would anyone want to paint a beer bottle on a control tower? Who can be first to correctly name this location?

White-capped looking clouds over Paris 4 Nov. Just below me, A380 hits severe turbulence. Looks like an angry ocean!
