After the Young Eagles rally I had some time and decided to fly around a little. I got a ram mount for my yoke and wanted to test it a bit (I like it a lot more than having the ipad on my thigh). I also "suffered" a little spontaneous disassembly of my air vent and had to wait until I was back on the ground to mess with it.
Overall, a nice flight seeing things starting to turn green.
I legit sat and stared at the screen for like ten minutes after watching the pilot. GLITCH, creators of The Amazing Digital Circus, has a new series called The Gaslight District and it’s amazing. You’ve never seen anything like this. #animation #pilot #TV #adultanimation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC8KsZniulw
Last Sunday: Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas Spotted Arriving by Helicopter Together in London
No, not a romance…
Director Doug Liman was also there, they are working together on the project “Deeper”.

First solo! Turns out the cessna 150 climbs like a spacecraft and handles like a glider without the weight of your instructor LOL.
It was exhilarating for the first and last 30 seconds, everything else I was just so focused I felt normal.

Finally…
And yet much too late
Tom Cruise should be the first to receive thirty Oscars, for everything backdated to 1996.

I flew today also. The winds at the surface were light whereas the winds at altitude were not. It was light to moderate turbulence the whole time but my first time passenger loved it. Farmers were out clearing brush with fires which I've not seen from the air before.
A year ago today, on my road trip to see the April 8, 2024 Total #SolarEclipse2024 in Mesquite (SE Dallas) TX, I stopped in Moriarty NM for a quick visit to the Southwest Soaring Museum. So many gliders to see, so little time... But then I had to hit the road again. An eclipse waits for no one. https://avgeek.social/@ikluft/112225771958590601 #aviation #pilot #avgeek
@elaterite Usually the instructor takes the radios for some lessons, to let the student learn a few things at a time. That student wanted to try on his first lesson. I coached him. He did a radio call.
After the flight, he didn't look happy. As we debriefed, it was the radio call.
I explained, "So you're unhappy you didn't sound like an airline pilot. Everyone who heard you [including his father who was on frequency] was impressed you didn't sound like a student pilot." #aviation #pilot #avgeek
@elaterite I once had a student who initially thought lowly of C172s because he rode along a lot in his father's high-performance Piper Comanche. But with one flying lesson his opinion was turned around to understand the purpose of a C172 as a stable basic airplane, easy to fly and good for learning in. #aviation #pilot #avgeek
*NEW PIC* but from last week (Mar26,2025), at London Heliport.
The flying actor… or the acting pilot. He is both. And he means everything to me.
