#TDIH - February 23, 1909 - History was made on the frozen waters of Baddeck Bay, Nova Scotia. The AEA Silver Dart, piloted by J.A.D. McCurdy, lifted off the ice and flew nearly 800 meters—marking the first powered, controlled flight in Canada and the British Empire.
I probably should! Honestly I just like airplanes, cars, and music 😂
Twitter’s gonna be a bit much for a while. Gonna hang out here for a bit
The old and the new
He moved the goal posts to this being about banking now. American and other foreign banks already operate in Canada. But they have to comply with our regs if they want to hold deposits. Clearly the US banks do not comply.
Lately my US travel has been mostly work related as well! But they’re quick trips (AOGs, fly aboard AME duties). It’s just hard to spend money in an economy that’s being hostile to us right now. Plus this is hitting our dollar, making the trips more expensive.
I understand completely! I have many close friends in the US and I love travelling there. Unfortunately the tariffs are devaluing our dollar making it more expensive, and I just can’t in good conscience spend my money to help an economy that’s being actively hostile to us. I hope this ends soon.
Just cancelled my upcoming trip to PHX. Fuck Trump and his tariffs, I’m going to keep my money in Canada. If my upcoming Daytona trip wasn’t already booked and paid for months ago, I would’ve cancelled that too.
PSP has to be one of the most stunning places I’ve ever flown to. The turn was too short, I can’t wait to come back here on a visit.
Just caught this photo on climb out. Our shadow with a halo around it. Flight can be poetic.
There’s a little girl seated in front of me on this flight who’s absolutely fascinated with the plane and all the goings on before take off. Asked her if she wanted to be a pilot, and she pointed at the de-icer and said she wanted to be that guy. It’s the simple joys

Cloud surfing 🏄♂️
I just love butter tarts. I’ll eat them with or without
Followed by the famous Russian game, turret toss!
Very nice! Loving the golden hour from the flight deck
I love it. I’ve gotta make an updated version for the E2.
Shoulder mounted tank deleters?
I felt that first picture in my soul.
Lord Jesus does it feel good to be back in the gym post injury. Next: get back in the air.
A little too close to the sun there 😅🫡
I got to climb up into the flight deck to help one of the AMEs during my high school co-op. Such a cool piece of history!
😅oops
Other, other poker word.
Spotted the new Emirates NBA A380 taxiing by today at work!
My attempt at capturing the harvest moon(?) over YYZ last night with an iPhone
The starter pack you put together was a huge help!
Likewise! It’s nice to be on a clean slate social media platform again
The missing link 😂
So I guess this platform is back, eh?
