@Aviation_Intel Fly it through the crash was the first bit of wisdom my first flight instructor tried to impress upon me.

Happy VMFA-314 Day to all who celebrate. #onceaknight

@thenightskyguy I don’t mean that to be disagreeable. Expectation management is important. Everyone I’ve helped see the fuzzy faint comet has very happy.

@thenightskyguy 40 years ago when trying astrophotography for the first time with Tri X film and a Pentax K1000, I’d would have been over-the-moon for a picture like this. Seeing Haley was dimmer, yet a life achievement at that point. Light pollution is the problem. #context.

Fire (Hydrant) and Ice. #Comet T-ATLAS from Aldie, VA shortly after sunset 13 Oct 2024. Fire hydrant played a practical role blocking a street light, but the airliner photobombs at center. Shot on iPhone. @capitalweather

Go Mets?!??

@MarsRoverMapper I had the same excitement. All worried about finding a clear northern horizon and I turn around to see the southern milky way cutting through aurora. Wow.

[Russ Emons @RussEmons]

Despite the soft focus and power lines, this one is a keeper for me because I want to remember LOOKING SOUTH at this incredible aurora from Upperville Battlefield in Northern VA. @capitalweather @MatthewCappucci

@capitalweather Still photographically seen here in Aldie as well. Plus a beam from the landing lights of an approaching aircraft west of Dulles.

I’m offering pro bono visualization services to nonprofits, emergency services, or relief organizations that need help communicating critical info during #HurricaneHelene.

Clear, accurate information is crucial for communities, especially in times of crisis.

@Shariinthesky @Hush_Kit Night IMC out on the WARP pods can feel like that!

[Russ Emons @RussEmons]

@Shariinthesky @Aviation_Intel How so? Aircraft are getting pLEO, why not ships?

[Russ Emons @RussEmons]

@RMaxSmith @Team_Luftwaffe @MetreaAero @INDOPACOM Tough flight to go all that way without the stop in Wake Island. Tough on the seat cushion, the bladder, and you run out of jokes and trivia questions!

@laur_kline It’s magic!

[Russ Emons @RussEmons]

@laur_kline I find that to be a feature, not a bug at my age!
