In honor of Patrick Stewart’s life, do yourself a favor tonight.
Go watch season 5, episode 25 of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
The episode is titled, “The Inner Light.”
You can thank me tomorrow.

Damn this one is really crushing. He had a huge impact on many of our lives as Captain Picard. One of those guys that you never thought would be gone.
The best captain to have ever skippered the Starship Enterprise.
Thank you Patrick Stewart!

Some of my shots from yesterday at JRB Fort Worth. F-35A and C model jets on test flights, and some F-18s from the Cowboys of VMFA-112

A rare treat landed outside of Edwards AFB. The @NASA X-59 Quesst built by @LockheedMartin. Very different from anything I’ve ever seen.

As you may have noticed, NASA is my first love when it comes to aviation, and that will always be true. So catching the X-59 QueSST at NAS JRB Fort Worth today is something extremely special. This is my first time catching an X-plane!
The X-59 is an experimental aircraft developed by Lockheed Martin Skunk Works for NASA to test quiet sonic booms. It completed its first flight on October 28, 2025, making today the one-year anniversary of its first flight. How fitting to catch it on such a special day!

Watch in slow motion as Coulson Aviation’s CH-47D Chinook N42CU pulls water from the ponds at Apollo Community Regional Park in Lancaster, California, then lifts off toward the nearby #DominoFire – at Lancaster, CA

Please enjoy this amazing takeoff of Jared Isaacman's MiG-29 piloted by the amazing Todd "Leif" Ericson from KPVW this morning courtesy of Adrien Martinez with his permission (his was way better than mine but he isn't on X).
This was a dream experience for me and both the airport staff and the pilot were incredibly kind and accommodating to everyone!
As promised, here's photos from today! Thanks to the crews of HMLA-369, I had the fantastic opportunity to see their aircraft depart from the ramp at KPRC today!
It's one thing to be able to capture the aircraft, another to capture the people who operate them too!

One of my favorite Milky Way photos from ISS, with the multicolored lights of Southeast Asia streaking across the exposure from orbital velocity, while distant stars remain fixed by my star tracker. The long exposure intensifies the atmospheric airglow into a thick red band!
