IMG_8756.jpeg
64 flights, 22 takeoff and landings, 0.95 trips to the moon distance wise, 196,616 nautical miles, 85 layovers. One trip to the sim to reset takeoff and landings 😂 Does not include airline deadheads or personal flights. Not a bad year!

No idea what my hours total was, but I flew my last flight of the year this afternoon.....a 1.2 to close out 2025, and one last stop for the year in the hot fuel pits :)

Other than some low level fog, it was a cold blue day and the olympics and north cascades are all capped in snow again....awesome day to be flying!

Still have 2.75 trips left to finish so there will be more. But as of today 520 block, 103 landings, 168,412 miles, and 27,894 passengers successfully delivered. Zero clue what I credited but it paid for my pool so enough.

Addendum: added another 46 hours, 10 landings, timed out three times in 12 days, and managed to be randomed at KCM 58% of the time in 12 working days. Capped it off with a CAT III to minimums and the scariest taxi of my life in Sea-Tac on a foggy night with about 50ft of forward visibility for most of it.

That's the downside of doing real CAT IIIs. Plane can land zero-zero fine, but good luck getting to the gate on your own.

Follow the green in ICN saved my ass (you can totally say ass here, in this context) twice.

Got better as we got closer to the terminal, I could at least see the backlit shadows of other planes, but taxiway T was a black morass with green centerline lights that even the LED landing lights couldn’t penetrate. The reported 700 RVR it was not. Thankfully it was back in base and both the FO and I know the airport very well.
 
Nothing is more butt puckering than transiting San Diego harbor at 10 kts with 50ft visibility not being able to see any of the lateral channel buoys as you sail past them and hoping you don’t run aground in a 50,000 ton ship.

The harbor tugs don’t even materialize out of the fog until they’re ready to tie up alongside.
 
Goose egg on the flying thanks to the effects of Vagina Dentitus, but now in a good position to check out again as my credit limit and credit score are astronomically higher than 2024. I should finally qualify for a loan for the first time in my life inshallah and start flying for hire. It took me 35 years to get a credit score high enough lmfao.

Plenty of passenger adventures, mostly FAT to see my baby girl and MSP to help my grandma. But a few cool trips including Italy, Spain, Hawaii, Portugal and 2 different trips to The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia where my fiancée is (wife and a fiancée at the same time may be haram but my intentions are halal).

Just got back from JED an hour ago via EWR and DXB. 17 hours onboard UA163 thanks to EWR doing what it does. Canceling the flight on the 28th which made me have to buy a ticket home for today (after EWR having 12 hour delays from SFO made me have to buy a ticket on the way there as well on Emirates) then we had no gate for a solid hour thanks to a blizzard while we were enroute. Customs had 3 lanes open. It seemed half our flight was complaining about staffing saying they were going to missconnect. 3 hour connection, landed on time, no luggage, TSA Precheck, still only made it by minutes.

Did I mention that EWR isn't a great place to rely on a daily flight?

At least I've had 31 hours of New Years Day already and its only 530PM here, so there's that.
 
I didn’t realize your baby was in FAT! I’m from about 40 miles south of FAT and if you need any resources, lemme know so I can get the family up there to do whatever. I also have a cousin who is a physician over in Clovis. Lemme know!

The MSP is rough. In from Asia, something to eat, just dead. Then leave in the morning! :/

Europe-MSP is more better for dinner ‘n drinks, but Asia to MSP’s are murderous.
