My heart could explode! Got to give my redhead a hug 🥰🥰 @wynonnajudd

Thanks @shannoncgolden for showing this old dog some new tricks. I logged my first PIC in a few years 😂 Got to land at my home airport KWJF and surprise Grandpa and Grandma with a quick hug. Thanks for the reminder that airplanes are so flippin’ rad.

An incredible day in Xochimilco. Walked amongst the street vendors and Pati surprised us with a boat ride on the river. Very fun, vendors come up on their boat and sell you munchies as you make your journey. A friendly family on a passing boat threw us a plate of tamales. Tim was very happy to make the acquaintance of “Peppa” the pig. @patiwrhoden @cynthiaanimas @stephanieraewood @tim92_s

My favorite adventure @tim92_s e

Fabulous first trip on the hiring team!! Got to spread the good word about AVIATE around Texas. From Houston, to Austin to San Antone and back – even got a kolachee for good measure 😍 Now waiting on handsome here at Houston off to our next adventure! @kaitlyn_gniadek #beingunited

Had an absolute blast hosting the @wearengpa Denver Mile High Flyers Pride Kickoff BBQ at our home. Always a blast to connect with other LGBT aviators and celebrate Pride Month!

Sometimes the Doctor orders a dose of Sunshine and Mickey-Shaped pretzels. Thanks for a fun adventure @tim92_s

Time flies when you’re having fun! Celebrating two years at UAL, this year brought a transition to becoming an instructor pilot on the 757/767 fleet, marking one of the most challenging yet rewarding milestones of my career. It’s been an amazing journey! Flying to incredible destinations like Amsterdam on the 767-400 has kept my skills fresh. Excited for more adventures ahead, with some exciting prospects on the horizon for Jake. Stay tuned!

Crazy to think 4 years ago, today, we were settling in for a “2 week” lockdown. I started a little series singing and playing piano in my apartment to help pass the time. I still think of this song all of the time – “Slow down, you crazy child, you’re so ambitious for a juvenile” #viennawaitsforyou

Grateful to be here for the Ribbon Cutting of the new “H” building at the flight training center. We already held the title of “world’s largest flight training facility” – now we’ve leapfrogged even further ahead. Had the opportunity to hear CEO Kirby talk about the future of United Airlines and our partnership with the City of Denver. Did you know that United Airlines is the #1 private employer in the State of Colorado? In addition to the nearly 18,000 pilots that visit the training center every 9 months for recurrent training, United employs nearly 10,000 employees in Colorado alone. Proud to be a little part of history today. (even got to run into Captain Marc Champion who gave me my shot at United!) @scottkirby @united

Hey world, meet Lola. Lola Skumpy. 🌺 We decided the time was right that Leo needed a little sister. And we are so happy that Lola chose us 😄 @tim92_s

Knocked off a bucket list item… got to eat @casabonitaofficial and it was everything I could have hoped for!!!!!!

Congratulations Roberta!!!! Golden Wing award recipient and Mesa Airlines’ newest flight attendant! Roberta is one of my mom’s little sisters – making her my Auntie! 😁 @robertababyyy

Got to surprise @tim92_s with Kim Petras tickets. She *crushed* it. She gave us both a huge hug!! What a fabulous human and incredible entertainer!! @kimpetras

Always a blast hanging out with the @denverpugposse ❤️ Happy Pug-O-Ween 🎃 Our little bumble bee had a great time playing with his friends in the park!

Had a blast with @united and @apple checking out that new-plane smell!! Exciting things are coming for Inflight Entertainment and United Next! #unitednext

Fall adventures with @shannoncgolden 🎃 🌽

Having fun so far in Alaska!! Makes Denver seem not so cold!

Oh man. This was peak COVID singing right here. What a crazy time in our lives. Came up in my memories today, and man… what a time capsule #suchasimplething #singersofIG

Latergram: Had an absolute blast on a last minute weekend trip to New York. The best kinds of trips are when you don’t even book the hotel until you are wheels up. Got to explore Hells Kitchen, have dinner with @binofly and @jonnybmke, see WTC, walk through central park and the zoo. 10/10.

Believe me when I tell you I am excited for my studio to be built in the new house 🤣 Can it be December yet?? #keithurban #tonightIwannacry #singersofig (pug for anti-reel)

Had a blast paddleboarding today 🙂 Somebody keep me away from REI because I need to own one of these!

One small step for an airline…. One giant leap for accessibility! Today, @united, became the first U.S. airline to add Braille to aircraft interiors, helping millions of travelers with visual disabilities more easily navigate the cabin independently. I am very proud to fly for a company where Good Leads the Way. #accessibility

Thank you Brian for the impromptu Capital tour!! @bwalsh21 @tim92_s

PUGS 👽👽👽

Got to show Handsome the Training Center and what I do for work now! Got to do a mini-scenic flight around virtual San Diego 🌴 @tim92_s
