Happy Birthday Cap'n Dillon!
As mentioned in the video, the happiest of birthday wishes to Everyone’s favorite Cap’n, Cap’n Dillon!
Here’s the Cap’n schmoozing with some of the other Cap’ns mentioned in the video, along with some of you!
For Dillon’s birthday, our pilot buddies surprised him with a Stearman ride! I tell ya, I think that kid’s flown more metal than me!
Blog Buddy Throwback!
Another Blog Buddy’s birthday is this week, Dante L, from Hong Kong. It’s also the anniversary of my meeting and flying with him in SoCal, so here’s some more cool pics!
Bunny and I got to meet up with Dante when we traveled to Hong Kong. What’s more, we also hung out with well known pilot-videographer Swayne Martin as well. Now, that was a cool adventure, and a great post! See the link in “Related Capnaux Links”, below.
And, if you haven’t seen it, don’t miss Swayne’s amazing YouTube channel. He does some great vids!
As for Dante, he also flys the sim with several airlines in HKG. Luckyyy!
Happy Birthday, Dante! And, hope to see you again soon on another aviation adventure!
