Today I had the enormous joy of attending the launch of the @europeanspaceagency #Biomass mission on #VV26 from the @centrespatialguyanais in Kourou, French Guiana. During my tenure at ESA, #Biomass was one of the primary programs I supported. Watching it from IBIS successfully launch, being injected into its very specific orbit and sending down its initial telemetry was a tremendous delight - and a testament to the passion, talent, dedication and hard work of so many people across Europe and the world who helped make this happen! #AdAstra

Practicing forced approaches when there are no open fields in sight sometimes means getting creative and… landing on the beach! #cessna172 #roadtoppl #ppl #pilotlife #pilot #generalaviation #studentpilot #pilottraining #futurepilot #studentpilotlife

End of winter photo dump… Flying was difficult in this year’s long and cold winter, but when we could get up it was absolutely stunning! #pilotlife #cessna172 #studentpilot #roadtoppl #generalaviation #flighttraining #lakesimcoeregionalairport
