Welcome aboard!

I’m a retired UPS pilot; flew domestic & Asia for 32yrs.

Metro, J-31, DC-8, 757, 767. Wild ride. ✈️

I’m author of the aviation explainer Aerosavvy.com

Current #AvGeek adventure is flying our Cherokee Six.

Other stuff: Running, 3D design/printing, & way too much #Disney °o°

I’ve read rumors that someone is trying to reboot. I’m interested!

My old Kickstarter Pebble watch ran for days. Not exactly apples to apples, but it had notifications, weather, time, apps… I always thought Apple sort of took us backwards with the Apple Watch.

First solo in the books! What an exhilarating experience. I am genuinely so proud! #studentpilot

Myself on the right in a black hat, tan shirt, black shorts, and white socks and shoes hunched over in front of a plane while my CFI, white shirt, khaki shorts, black socks, and white shoes cuts the world’s largest hole into my shirt

Myself holding up my now mangled shirt slice in the air with a smile. Still in front of the plane

My CFI and I posing in front of our plane

Myself alone in the cockpit of a small plane smiling into the camera. My CFI has abandoned me, but for good reason

2 more beauty shots of Soarin’

It’s modeled after the original version used inside The Land.

Looks good to me! 🙌
I forgot what kind of plane you’re flying? Cool panel.

Thank you! It was fun to make.

I even like the cheesy color fade mode on the lights.

I’m really happy with how Soarin’ turned out.

I planned to 3D print a sign from Thingiverse. But it would be small & I didn’t like the existing designs.

So I went big with foam board. Sign is 46”w x 14”h. Letters, swoosh, & glider are 3D printed.

LED backlit Soarin’ sign similar to the original sign used at Epcot.

You’re light years ahead of me! When I started flying international routes, I kept a paperback atlas in my flight bag so I knew where the heck I was (long before iPad).

Styrofoam and 3D printed version of the Soarin’ Around the World sign at Epcot. Letters are rearranged to spell

So. Rain.

I think American grade school geography failed us all (and it’s going to get worse if we don’t get out and vote).

Shhh. Don’t give it away! 🤣

Ken H @aerosavvy.com · Aug 29

Fingers crossed it’ll still be cool when it’s finished! 😆

Working on a Disney thing for our basement wall. Styrofoam, 3D printer, LED strip lights, oh my!

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.”

Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment.

No questions asked.

No proof required.

Pass it on.

767 is a big baby. After flying the DC-8, my first max crosswind encounter in the 767 was silly-easy.

Ken H @aerosavvy.com · Aug 28

Oh, I miss that plane (but not the training or work hours 🤣)

Ken H @aerosavvy.com · Aug 27

Oh wow. It’s been years since I’ve seen ‘75. Jerry Stiller?! I don’t think I could watch him in a serious role.

Saddest part is that congress can stop this. But they are literally cheering it on.
