Got fully certified in the new tower today, as a controller, anyway. Completed a 6-week course in 1 week. Some interesting pics from the last 2 or 3 shifts.


Air France A380 vs. Flock of seagulls.


2 Air France A380s at SFO at once. The one in the background was on time, the one in the foreground was delayed over 24 hours for MX. There weren't enough rooms and about 100 people ended up having to sleep in the terminal. This was the first time an A380 ever went off gate A1.


All 3 Alaska Disney liveries came into my ramp at once today! Creamed myself pretty good.

While studying for my MIFR these past few weeks I have managed to browse through this entire thread, all 537 pages of it haha. I am proud to say that this morning I passed my MIFR flight test in this bad boy.

Congrats... but it looks like you flew in Wonder Woman's airplane. Try fixing the coding maybe?

8 year hiatus between the last time of me indulging in some in-n-out. Got some same day shipping SMF-MEM late last night. It was amazing

"Airport insight! " he says Bossy little bugger. Still over 100nm out!

Admiring the ATR42 and Dash 8, "No SJS for me" he says!

Enjoying the view while we get fuel.

Enjoying the sunrise as we descend

Some from a rainy afternoon last week:


KLM 747 arriving from Amsterdam in the pouring rain.


My favorite airline rolling in from MSP.


One of Aeromexico's bajillion special liveries rolling in from MEX. First time I've seen this one, they usually only put on decals, this one got new paint.

One of my favorite planes, but not in that color.

A shot from a pilot, sent to me the next day over Facebook. 15 hours in a de-icer do funny things to you. Escaping the cab and sitting in the bucket didn't help much. Guess I'll dance around and hose off the rampies.

Rare to hear an SY pilot without a Minnesotan accent. Despite all the growth over the years, they really are Minneapolis's hometown airline. I'd imagine it's a great place to fly if you're from that neck of the woods.

Back in the corral after a hard day's work~

Spent quite a bit of time in the bucket myself. Fun times.

The owner of the Goose created a Facebook page for its restoration. Some pretty interesting stuff here https://www.facebook.com/Rednerturbinegoose

From the sounds of it they are treated pretty well, they are both from Pinnacle/mesaba whatever it is now. One of my two friends went from left seat to a right seat and took a big cut in pay but he said it was worth it to work for a company where everybody knows everybody. Not to mention he is home a lot more often and also gets some interesting destinations. He's been to South Africa and Cuba with them.

I'm truly happy for those dudes.
