Quite possibly the most epic photo set I’ve ever shared. Ramp riding through the Mach Loop on a Royal Air Force A400M. 🇬🇧🫡

Massive ships. Violent currents. One of the most treacherous bays on Earth.

This is the world of the San Francisco Bar Pilots.

The U-2 Dragon Lady was built in secrecy, designed to fly higher than anyone thought possible. Nearly 70 years later, it’s still doing just that.

Ramp riding through the Mach Loop in Wales. 🇬🇧 I’m sitting on the back of a @royalairforceuk A400M Atlas. One of the craziest experiences of my life.

Born in the Cold War.
Built for a nuclear war that never happened.
Seventy years later. It’s not done yet.

Get ready for the most feared bomber in history.

It’s been three years since I left the military, but in a way it still feels like I’m a part of it more than ever before. Every day, I’m thankful for the opportunities to travel the world and tell the stories of the men and women serving in uniform.

Our servicemembers are extraordinary. They represent the very best of us.

So on this Veterans Day, I hope you’ll take a moment to thank those who’ve raised their hand to serve, past and present. Without their sacrifices, this life that we all take for granted wouldn’t be ours to live. 🇺🇸

This isn’t just about flying jets.

Still not over this collaboration with the @royalairforceuk. 🇬🇧 What most people don’t know is that this video was over a year in the making. It’s not easy assembling all the approvals and coordination needed to pull something like this off, and I owe a lot of thanks to the RAF for trusting our vision. Just so proud of the entire team and everyone who made this possible.

Tomorrow, our documentary “Inside Air Force Test Pilot School” officially premieres. A project over 6-months in the works and one I am incredibly excited to share with all of you.

It’s a deep dive into the origins of flight and an up close look at the unbelievable thrill of being a test pilot. This was a big story to tell, and I’m honored to have been given a front row seat to take you along for the ride.

Tomorrow, the long awaited F-15 video officially drops! Arguably one of the best air superiority fighters ever built, we took a unique approach to this video to make sure we did it justice and I think you’ll see why it took so long to finish. 

We wanted it to not only feel like a movie, but also to provide real value to those of you who might be interested in becoming a fighter pilot yourself. 

Get the popcorn ready! This is a fun one. 🍿

Our first ever collab with the Space Force is officially live! We’re excited to take you behind the scenes of one of their most vital missions, launching rockets. 

My team and I spent a week out at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station with @sldelta45 to capture the essence of their mission and their purpose. 

If you’ve ever wondered what it is that Space Force Guardians do, I hope you’ll take the time to check this one out. 

Hint: it’s pretty epic 🚀

One of the most surreal flights I’ve ever taken, and I can’t wait for you to experience the U-2 Dragon Lady alongside me.

I just released a 360° VR @youtube video from my high flight– no music, no fluff. Just you, the Dragon Lady, and a climb to 70,000 feet. 

Hope you enjoy the ride.
