Battle of the Cockpit Jumpseaters Part One
Folks, from the Flight Blog, this is Cap’n Aux speaking. Today, I’d like you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view…and not just any flight’s view, but that of the cockpit jumpseaters! You know, those piloty-types who commute to work by taking one of our extra “observer” seats in the cockpit?
I always charge my jumpers a small fee: during the flight, they...

Ladies and gents, from the Flight Blog, welcome back aboard! Yes, it’s been a long, tough, mostly grounded summer, so let’s take a special flight together, shall we?
It’s showtime, folks! On one of my overnights in September.Of #Coronavirus, #Aviation & #Goatees!
Once again, to help mitigate our airline’s furloughs, I’ve taken another 3-month voluntary leave. Bunny has taken an even longer one, over a year! But, sadly, that will not prevent furlough carnage to the bottom of our respect...

Many have lost their jobs
Some have lost loved ones to the horrific #Coronavirus.

As for Bunny n me, we are spending our self-imposed (and Arizona-imposed) quarantine at home at...

One of our first and closest Blog Buddies is Mr. Swayne Martin.
With Swayne Martin at Oshkosh! Since he first contacted me as a starry-eyed teen over 5 years ago, he’s graduated coll...

Boeing #737Max Update—& Fun Stuff with Cap’n Dillon!
Folks, it’s been a tough season for the international airline industry. After a blessing of several years of relatively benign issues and impressive safety records, we’ve had a string of harrowing fatal accidents, from the Atlas 767 in IAH (#5Y391) to the Lion Air (#JT610) and Ethiopian Airlines (#ET302) 737 Max crashes.
FIRST AND FOREMOST, from everyone here at Team Aux, we would like to extend our deepest, sincerest condolences for all v...

A380 Adventures Down Under!
G’day, Mates!Folks, from the Flight Blog, this is Cap’n Aux speaking. As you know, I rarely post these days, so when I do, you know it’ll be something fun!
Last week, Bunny and I flew “Down Under” to Melbourne, Australia—you know, the land of “Crocodile Dundee,” of koalas and ‘roos and didgeridoos, the Outback, and lively, supremely healthy people with legendary drinking habits and those great, twangy accents!
We went to visit Bunny’s best friend Annie and her fam...
