I’ve had many talented students in my day as a WIC IP and trained with the best on both the military and civilian sides of aviation. I can honestly say @lewishamilton was the quickest study I’ve had in a jet. I’m hopeful he follows his dreams to get his wings and travel into the stars.

Quality begets further quality. In this case it's a combination of John "Slick" Baum's Cafe X IWC Pilot's Bag, Big Pilot's Watch, and his 1944 Boeing Stearman.
Incredible day with the @polarisprogram team qualifying a few science and research experiments for the upcoming mission. What a hoot!!! 🐉🇺🇸🤙🏼

Combining peerless heritage with a passion for performance, former USAF Thunderbirds #2 demonstration pilot and USAF Fighter Weapons School graduate and instructor, John “Slick” Baum, is featured here wearing our Stealth CWU in black.
Standing atop his own Stearman biplane and gearing up for an epic air-to-air shoot around the Manhattan skyline, “Slick” Baum proves that great style, like great flying is all about precision and confidence.

Lieu hors du temps… pour écrire le futur ✨
Un lieu exceptionnel où se côtoient des pièces uniques…
– le casque de combat de Ron Evans (Apollo 17, Vietnam)
– une combinaison de pilote de U-2
– des Sokol pour l’ISS et une Orlan pour les sorties extravéhiculaires
– le rarissime casque du YF-23
– les casques signés des plus grandes patrouilles acrobatiques : Blue Angels, Patrouille de France, Frecce Tricolori
– le casque de Mimouss (Rafale Solo Display)
– et un casque porté par Charles Leclerc lors d’un vol en Rafale
Mais ce lieu regarde aussi vers l’avenir : Venturi Space développe les batteries et technologies de son futur rover lunaire, qui accompagnera le retour de l’Homme sur la Lune dans le cadre du programme Artemis et des missions européennes à horizon 2030. 🌕🚀
📸 Avec mon regard de pilote et photographe, c’était déjà un peu comme avoir un pied sur la Lune. 🌑✨ Merci Philippe ainsi que @venturi.space@venturi.official 🙏🏻

Timeless place… to write the future ✨
A timeless place where unique pieces come together…
– the combat helmet of Ron Evans (Apollo 17, Vietnam)
– a U-2 pilot suit
– Sokol suits for the ISS and an Orlan for extravehicular activities
– the rare YF-23 helmet
– signed helmets from the world’s greatest aerobatic teams: Blue Angels, Patrouille de France, Frecce Tricolori
– the helmet of Mimouss (Rafale Solo Display)
– and a helmet worn by Charles Leclerc during a Rafale flight
This place also looks to the future: Venturi Space is developing the batteries and technologies of its future lunar rover, which will support humanity’s return to the Moon within the Artemis program and European missions planned for 2030. 🌕🚀
📸 With my pilot and photographer’s eye, it already felt a bit like having one foot on the Moon. 🌑✨
🙏 Thank you Philippe
