Flying the world, exploring its hidden treasures. Taking pictures and vlogging the journey. Qualified Pilot since 2011 with EASA night and IR(A). Tweets my own.

Smiles for miles. Not just any miles, air miles.

Third flight of the winter, and it was a proper one: solid IMC, bumpy IFR into Oxford-Kidlington. I’d had a bit of time off, so this was the flight that would tell me if I still had what it takes.

@thegrumpyatco Look at this time Sunday. Sorry

Anyone know why Gatwick is having go-arounds every morning?

[Robbie ✈ @PilotRobbie]

@thegrumpyatco It looks like departures are held back, with one on the runway that eventually departs. Saturday AM, there were 5 go-arounds in a row (2 of them broken off the ILS). Happening at 630am-7 am and can only think it might be the NOTAM'd overnight closure overunning.

For context has happened every morning. Same time the last week.

Can anyone guess how we named him? 🐈😍

Got a tiny travel companion today! Say hello to Merlin 💜

[Robbie ✈ @PilotRobbie]

@Send_Bunnies Herbert or Sherbet?

[Robbie ✈ @PilotRobbie]

Evidential threshold met

I just went for a run and did not see a Lufthansa A320 in the 100th livery fly over.

My boyfriend did not go for a run and he did see a Lufthansa A320 in the 100th livery fly over him.

Clearly, running is a mistake.

@ballyvooney @TheSnowDreamer Imagine an insanely cold end of the year to wreck the Highest CET record 😆

@Send_Bunnies New profile pic? 👀

[Robbie ✈ @PilotRobbie]

Is this the stand for IR pilots? 😆

[Robbie ✈ @PilotRobbie]

@Send_Bunnies Where do I get mine?

[Robbie ✈ @PilotRobbie]

Me and Zurich: Love at first flight...

[Robbie ✈ @PilotRobbie]

@Send_Bunnies Instead a) New Aircraft Smell b) GE90 lite c) Me orgasming over the sound. 🤣🤣🤣

@ChelseaFC This is going to be an uncomfortable and long season.

This photo can never be taken again.
The towers are gone. The world that made this image possible is gone too.
We remember the thousands who were taken from us on 9/11, and we refuse to let time make them smaller.

[Robbie ✈ @PilotRobbie]

@Send_Bunnies It flys pallets for sure lol 😆

[Robbie ✈ @PilotRobbie]

@Send_Bunnies Ouch! I reckon we've got room for a cheeseboard 😀😀😀

[Robbie ✈ @PilotRobbie]

The first big trip of 2026 seems like ages ago. Looking forward to the next one.
