Chris is a Commercial Pilot and lover of all things aviation. Based in London, Chris researches and writes articles on what’s happening in the world of aviation for Flightradar24.

Q: What’s the most memorable flight you’ve been on?
A: It would have to be my experience flying on-board a route proving flight for the A321XLR. Not only was I the first non-Airbus employee to fly on the aircraft, and we even got to see the Aurora Borealis – truly special.

Q: What’s your favorite Flightradar24 feature?
A: Live Activities. The ease of tracking my own flights (or knowing when to head to the airport to pick up my friends) is a brilliant feature.

Q: What’s your most memorable flight tracking moment?
A: Following Queen Elizabeth II’s final flight. It was a profound moment in modern history we were all able to be part of thanks to flight tracking.

Q: Any earliest aviation memories?
A: I grew up in Stanwell Moor, less than half a mile from the end of one of Heathrow’s runways. Seeing (and feeling) Concorde blast overhead at 500 feet at 11am is something i’ll never forget.

Q: How do you keep up to date with the aviation industry?
A: As well as getting insights from friends and colleagues across the industry, I am an avid reader of news, and always on the hunt for new topics we can explore and explain to our readers.
