I had the opportunity to visit Lufthansa Technik in the Philippines and witnessed probably the last heavy maintenance of Lufthansa A340-600. The LH A346 will be phased out after summer schedule if no further extension.

Seeing the inner workings of MRO is truly fascinating, a lot to tell in my upcoming vlog. Kudos to all technicians and engineers who make flying safe. ✈️

I left Dubai for my pilot training course just 10 days before the war began— an event that has since affected the entire Gulf region and beyond. But my thoughts never left.

This post is a tribute to the resilience, professionalism, and dedication of the people who works in aviation.

Deep respect to those working through these challenging times — Stay safe, especially those keeping the world connected.
 Eid Mubarak 🌙 World Peace 🙏

Aviation heaven in the Arizona desert ✈️

I finally made it to the legendary Pima Air & Space Museum. Walking among hundreds of historic aircraft — from classic airliners to powerful military jets — felt like stepping through the timeline of aviation.

And yes! You can walk up to any plane and take a close up look! Let me know which one is your favorite plane there?
