This firefish account is intended to be mainly #aviation / #aviationenthusiast focused to help grow & be part of the #AvFedi / #FediAv community. I boost/repost (retoot?) Av news of interest mixed in with random posts by me. There may be the odd #weather, #maps or #space boost thrown in. My interest is mostly commercial #civilaviation.
I work for 🇨🇦's civil air navigation service provider (ANSP) but the views here are my own and not my employer's.

Happy Thanksgiving to our American neighbours, and all the aviation staff working on the holiday. Thank you for keeping the skies safe and for safely transporting everyone home and back.

There's a lot of bad news out there right now. Here's Billy, the flying fox mascot of YTZ, Billy Bishop Airport, to bring some childlike cheer to your timeline.

Travel companions. While waiting for my flight in YTZ I noticed a woman with a plush toy capybara sticking out of her bag, which she took out for some air. I thought it was cute. I assume it's for a child, but who knows. I once brought a plush lobster with me to Halifax, NS and used it as a neck pillow and lumbar cushion. I told people he was going home "to visit family."

#WingWednesday Throwback to my #Delta flight to #Seattle from #Portland #DL5681 from July 2019. I don't remember what mountains these were, but I was able to get some pretty clear shots. #wingletwednesday #windowview #SEA
