𝘿𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙢 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙚 — 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙞𝙧𝙘𝙪𝙨 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜.

Some minds run quietly, I’m told.

Others — like mine — operate more like a live-broadcast control room: multiple screens, overlapping conversations, competing signals, music overlays, alarms going off… the whole production.

From the outside it looks calm; on the inside it’s loud, fast, and almost never switches off. 😵‍💫

When new information arrives, the instinct isn’t just to understand it — it’s to build a fully interactive mental model of how it fits within a wider system.

As that model forms, the gaps light up instantly, triggering a cascade of questions. To a linear thinker, my questions can seem intense or unnecessary, but nothing makes sense to me until I can see every angle of the 3D model in motion.

But once it’s built, everything accelerates. Every scenario and new idea can be pushed through it, revealing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats with a level of precision a static mental picture just can’t deliver.

It’s a powerful tool in innovation where no benchmarks exist, and essential in high-stakes environments where you need to predict the chain reaction before it starts.

So if you see me with this face, wonder why I question everything, or notice I vanish for a few days after a burst of social interaction — it’s not you. It’s me (and my hyperactive mind demanding space to recalibrate).

That quiet reset is what lets me translate the internal chaos into something clear and digestible… without triggering calls to men in white coats. 🫣😂

“It’s the Tom Cruise stunt the Sydney Opera House rejected.” — News.com.au

…but we just made it happen. 🤘

At dawn, dropped one Aussie icon onto another, with rappelling to a 60 cm spot on the 65 m-high sail of the

Thirteen months of planning, risk management, training, and more approvals than I could count …until the only way to make it any safer would’ve been not to do it at all.

One chance. One take. An army of people — many working together for the first time — needing to perform in perfect sync. But having simulating the entire production the day before, right down to emergency drills, it went exactly as designed. No luck — just accountability, precision, and a safety mindset that left nothing to chance.

I couldn’t have asked for a better team.
Huge shout-out to our legendary stunt crew — ; to & for the audacious idea and the persistence to see it through; and to all the teams behind the scenes who made it possible — , , , , Auto Avia, , , and many more.

and I were very proud to be working with such a solution-focused, high-performance yet totally authentic, down to earth team.

Already ready for the next adventure 🥷🚁

Well, that didn’t stay a mystery for long…

Gold Star to who correctly guessed the Leonardo AW09. 🎉🤓

Here she is in side profile — with a very happy passenger in the back waving like we’re off to lunch (love to see his change in expression if I was actually flying it 🤣)

Big thanks to Rob Bentley-Johnson, COO at for the show and tell. If you’re curious (or shopping), he’s your guy.

Also couldn’t leave without a nod to the very sexy F-35 putting on a show of its own. Few pics and clips coming in hot — because who doesn’t love 5th-gen fighter drama in full afterburner? 🔥

All taken during trade days at Avalon Airshow 2025 — AvGeek heaven. 😍🤘

Alright rotorheads — any guesses what I’m sitting in?

It’s a next-gen, single-engine machine built for multi-mission flexibility — think EMS, security, utility, even Charter, and up to eight pax in a cabin that’s all flat-floor and reconfigurable. Its most recent owner (manufacturer) gave it longer legs (range + endurance), a quiet footprint, and a sharp, modern frame.

My take? The pilot seat sits way back from the nose — and is noticeably lower than the passenger seats, which means they get better visibility than we do up front (instrument panel doesn’t help). It’s all in the name of aerodynamics, but it leaves a decent chunk of forward space doing… not much. Feels like form over function.

Still, it’s a slick bird and good value (US$4m). Just not sure who they designed the front row for.

So cmon, which manufacturer and model?

F1 anyone? I’m a supporter (LOVE seeing good people prove naysayers wrong – ) - but hey, I’m also a fan and it wouldn’t be a race without Verstappen. 

Yep, my F1 loyalty is complicated (until Lando joins RedBullRacing 😏), but this Arrows A22 Asiatech F1 car, raced by Max’s dad in the 2001 Formula One World Championship, ticks all boxes: 😎

Was surprised how little you can see over the steering wheel — sitting that low to the ground, with the dash at neck height and a long chassis ahead of you, is wild. Snug — and tricky to get into (& out of) with a rooted shoulder — but more comfy than I expected. The reclined racing position feels… weird. Like Sunday cruise mode instead of flooring it around a track at 200mph!

In my next life, I’m playing the racing game! 🏎️🔥

Meanwhile, I’ll keep cheering from the sidelines. Sadly missed Melbourne this year – hoping to make it to another very soon… 🇯🇵 🤔
