On #WorldPilotsDay I’d like to thank all of the hundreds of people who work behind the scenes to make sure my job is safe and painless. Without those engineers, air traffic controllers, flight planners, and many, many, others…it would be impossible to enjoy my job in the way I do. Thank you. 🙏🏻 #aviation #aviationlovers #avgeek #avgeeks #flying #Hercules

Wie ein Uhrwerk. Schon über 40 Mal sind wir seit Mitte Oktober mit unseren Flugzeugen wie #A400M, #A321, #A350, #Global und #A330 geflogen und haben dabei Menschen sowie Material transportiert. #wirfliegenweiter
Um die Einsatzbereitschaft der #BundeswehrimEinsatz für eine eventuelle Evakuierungsoperation aufrechtzuerhalten, finden regelmäßig Flüge mit A400M-Transportflugzeugen der @Team_Luftwaffe statt.

I have just watched #Evacuation on C4. I’ve served in #Afghanistan but the challenges that faced the military teams during that operation were unimaginable. The strength and fortitude of everyone involved is truly humbling. You need to watch this to understand what is asked of our service people when politics fail. They are bloody heroes…every one.
