@davidakin @FoodProfessor The PM's plane is a military operation, right? This menu vs actual food tracks with my experience in the Army. 😉

@UnpopOpinion44 @Jason___YYC @TheBlueGem3 Tell me you're uneducated without telling me you're uneducated. 🙄

Opinion: Alberta has no sense of nationhood, making its independence movement extremely strange https://t.co/SgqvAZuqmQ

@BertaBSDetector Even just cross-posting would be good. I can help you set up something more automated, like I already do for the Transportation Safety Board, which isn't on there yet.

@BertaBSDetector Sweet. Was looking for the same username/handle.

@AllWheelDog @FoSTFluff @TrashLiker @303SnowWolf It's okay to feed them when you're stuffing a dump truck of crow, smarts and smugness down their throat so they choke.

@FoSTFluff @TrashLiker @AllWheelDog @303SnowWolf This might be the dumbest comment I've seen today. The 2025 Stack Overflow Developer survey shows 1/3 of developers (that's the people writing the stuff on all your technology) use MacOS. Must be hot in your house. 🙄

Reached a new cruising groundspeed record yesterday in the Piper Seneca thanks to a 69 kt tailwind at 17,000 ft: 243 kts (450 km/h)! #flying #aviation #piper #piperseneca

Over the past few weeks I’ve shared my thoughts on advocacy, engagement, and the future of the GA community in Canada.

This final piece focuses on preparing COPA for what’s ahead.

With voting now open, I’d be honoured to have your support.

@303SnowWolf Ah. I left the D2 series because it was overpriced with very little upside. The extras are neat but I rarely look at my watch when flying. And the Descent series seems to be abandoned early, like the D2 series. And since the Fenix 8 does diving now, switching was a no-brainer.

[Douglas Robertson @douglasr]

@303SnowWolf You have a D2 *and* a Descent? Jeez. You selling illegal goods on the side to afford that??

@303SnowWolf I hope you have the METAR/TAF app installed? And there's a great flying app also. I know the developer of both. 😉

Running for the COPA Board means listening, not just talking.

I’m hosting a live Q&A today. Ask me anything, challenge ideas, or just come see what I’m about.

Let’s talk about where COPA goes next

Aviation organizations worldwide are struggling to attract younger pilots COPA included. If we want the next generation to see value in COPA, we need to meet them earlier in their journey. Here’s how I plan to help make that happen. #flying #aviation #copa https://t.co/vecOKjmoK2

The future of Canadian aviation won’t be shaped only in boardrooms or policy meetings. It will also be shaped around breakfast tables, fly-ins, and BBQs at local airports. What I've learned over the past few weeks speaking to COPA Flights #flying #aviation https://t.co/28A1WBTfTT
