Fire Boss training is incredible. The precision, discipline, and teamwork required to operate the Air Tractor AT-802 Fire Boss is truly impressive.

Endless respect and appreciation for the pilots and crews who train relentlessly to protect communities and wildlands from the air. What an amazing group of professionals. 🔥✈️

A headache in the cockpit isn’t something to brush off.

The Federal Aviation Administration cares because headaches can impact focus, decision-making, and safety at altitude. The good news? Most are manageable with the right approach and documentation.

I break it down in my latest article in the The Ninety-Nines magazine. ✈️

The Northwest Council of Air Shows conference in Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 was everything. Being surrounded by the people who create, protect, and sustain the air show industry was incredibly inspiring. Passionate professionals from every corner of aviation, generously sharing their knowledge and experience.

I had the privilege of speaking on human factors at airshows—bringing the medical perspective into conversations about performance, risk, and safety. These are the discussions that make our industry stronger.

Truly honored to have been invited as a guest speaker and welcomed so warmly into the airshow family. My heart (and notebook) are full. ✈️💙

Special thanks to and for the opportunity.

Won a flight with Yellow Thunder auction tonight and I’m still smiling about it.

There’s something about watching precision, trust, and pure skill in the sky… and then getting the chance to strap in with the team yourself. Unreal.

Such a great weekend at the NW Aviation Conference & Trade Show at the Washington State Fairgrounds ✈️

Highlights included meeting the amazing people in this industry — pilots, students, Regional Flight Surgeons, vendors, and friends who make aviation such a strong and supportive community.

I had the chance to speak on “Preflighting Your Flight Physical” — helping pilots make the process less stressful, avoid common pitfalls, and walk in prepared and confident. I love getting to combine education with practical tools you can actually use.

I also stepped into the hypoxia chamber to personally assess my in-flight symptoms. I made it down to 70% oxygen before calling it.

My symptoms:
• Fast heart rate
• Foggy thought processes
• Feeling warm

It’s one thing to teach it — it’s another to feel it. Knowing your personal hypoxia signs could make all the difference at altitude.

Already looking forward to next year. 💙✈️
