The @eaa Airventure is one of the largest fly-in e The @eaa Airventure is one of the largest fly-in events in the world. With over half a million people expected to attend this year in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The airport has been purpose built for this event since the 1950s and takes the record for the busiest air traffic control tower on the day before the event. Looking forward to seeing all the crazy types of airplanes that have been built over the years. ❤️✈️ #flying #airplanes #aviation #osh21 #osh #exploretheworld #globetrotter #adventure #travelholic #nomad #traveller #wanderlust #usa #wisconsin #oshkosh #pilot #wanderer #instatravel #traveltheworld #explore #ontheroad
Every year an aircraft must be subjected to annual Every year an aircraft must be subjected to annual maintenance. A nose to tail inspection of all the critical systems and parts to ensure they are in tip top shape. This is one of the many reasons why my 1971 Piper Cherokee Six is still flying today. Can't wait to get back up in the air asap! 📸:@beccakicz ❤️✈️ #pilot #flying #piper #yyz #ykz #pride #airplane #airport #exploretheworld #globetrotter #adventure #nomad #traveller #wanderlust #wanderer #travelbug #instatravel #traveltheworld #explore

Although just a city tour, getting jn an airplane and scratching that travel itch was enough to put smiles on everyone's faces.

There hasn't been much jetlag this year. It's tou There hasn't been much jetlag this year. It's tough being told you can't do the thing you love. But we adapt, change, and find a way to fill that want. Looking in the rearview mirror the worst is behind us. Hang in there, we'll be travelling again sooner than you think. 📸:@beccakicz ❤️✈️ #solong2020 #toronto #yyz #merrychristmas #wellbeok #wheresmypassport
With my copilot at my side we headed eastbound to With my copilot at my side we headed eastbound to Ottawa, Canada's capital. On the way, dodging rainbows and rain showers. No matter how high you view a rainbow from, it will always form an arc intersecting the earth. Is it any coincidence that angle at which light forms a rainbow through water droplets is 42°? ❤️✈️ #flying #rainbow #ottawa #pilot #ontario #exploretheworld #globetrotter #adventure #traveller #wanderer #travelbug #instatravel #traveltheworld #explore #ontheroad #instapassport #yow #yro #piper #leftseat #navcanada @navcanada
This past week I was able to see Canada from a uni This past week I was able to see Canada from a unique perspective. Piloting my new Piper Cherokee Six home allowed me to cover over 3000 km of landscape from Calgary to Toronto. A glimpse of the rockies, the mundane plains of the prairies, and the intimidating rocks of the Canadian shield all from 2.7km (9000 feet) in the air. Thank you to @dbrobert for selling this beauty to me and @flightchops for sharing this amazing learning experience. I can't wait to see what adventures lie ahead (a la @socalflyingmonkey). ❤️✈️#pilot #flying #aircraft #canada #runway #cherokeesix #exploretheworld #adventure #travelholic #traveller #wanderlust #nomadlife #wanderer #instatravel #traveltheworld #explore #intheair #instapassport #travelmore #piper
