Pilots have a special view onto landscapes and cities, sunrises and sunsets. And they like sharing it on Social Media. British Airways has now put together a list of accounts of its own pilots, for you to follow. Photo credit: British Airways

The Social Skies: Pilots you should follow

Whether you’re someone with #wanderlust or you simply love being at 10'000 meters flight altitude, here are the British Airways pilots to follow on social right now.

Do you love sharing pictures taken during a flight on Instagram? So do many British Airlines pilots - and they have a particularly good view from the cockpit onto landscapes, skylines, city scenes and cool perspectives of aircraft.

On Instagram, you'll be able to follow First Officer James Parry, a.k.a. #CL10UDS, or Senior First Officer Suneil Banerjee, aka #the787dreamlife. Find fun destination guides and travel inspiration courtesy of First Officer Jonathan Knowlson, #jonnythepilot.  

Captain Dave Wallsworth proudly flies the superjumbo A380 all over the world and keeps fans updated on his route plans and aviation adventures. Follow him on Twitter @davewallsworth. Also flying the A380 and sharing their insights and photos on Twitter are Senior First Officer @grahamsturgeon and First Officer Joanna Riggs, @ladyspeedbird. 

Senior First Officer @PilotKateBees gives a behind the scenes look at her job as a 747 pilot. She also shares how she balances her life as a mum and a global traveller. First Officer Helen Geering @shesgotwings777 ‏shares her love of long-haul and lunges, flying high and keeping fit on the go.

For photos of beautiful skylines and interesting preflight videos, make sure to follow Senior First Officer @MarkGrigg as he flies his Boeing 787 around the world. For aviation experts with questions, we recommend Training Standards Captain Chris Holden, available @That787Pilot, or Captain Ben Whitworth @benwhitworth1.

For aviation banter and quick snapshots from the cockpit (especially on #wingfriday), Captain Mark Mannering-Smith can be found on Twitter @mmsBA.
