Welcome — I’m Ulrich Ogiermann.
Originally from Vienna, Austria, I developed a deep appreciation for travel through my many years working in industrial manufacturing, often alongside the aviation world.
These days life moves a little slower. I spend my time travelling across the world, wandering into small towns, taking photos, and paying attention to the small details that make each place unique.
This website is my corner of the internet to share those experiences.
My hope is simple: that these pieces offer a thoughtful, personal look at the world — part travel diary, part aviation nostalgia, and part exploration of the things that have shaped me.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you find something here that inspires your next journey.
As an aviation enthusiast, I’ve always been fascinated by helicopters. These remarkable machines can hover in place, fly backwards, and even upside down in some cases. But how exactly do they manage these impressive feats? Today, let’s dive into the fascinating world of helicopter aerodynamics.
Jet engines operate on a fundamental principle of physics: Newton’s Third Law of Motion – for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a jet engine expels gas in one direction, the aircraft experiences thrust in the opposite direction.
The most obvious cost of aircraft ownership is the purchase price
As aviation enthusiasts know, the path to becoming a pilot or aviation professional requires world-class training. Whether you’re pursuing commercial aviation, military flying, or specialised cargo operations, the right school makes all the difference. Today, I’m exploring the premier aviation academies that have established themselves as centres of excellence globally.
World War II was a pivotal moment in aviation history, propelling aircraft development forward at unprecedented speeds. As nations competed for air superiority, revolutionary designs emerged that would forever change the landscape of military aviation. In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the most influential aircraft from this era and their lasting impact on aviation technology and tactics.
Hello, fellow aviation enthusiasts! Today, we’re diving into one of the most crucial yet often overlooked systems in modern aircraft: cabin pressurisation. This engineering marvel allows us to comfortably fly at 35,000 feet without suffering from hypoxia or the bends. Let’s explore how it works and why it matters.
Today, we’re exploring the diverse career opportunities in the aviation industry beyond the cockpit. While becoming a pilot is often the most visible aviation career, the industry offers a wealth of fascinating roles for aircraft enthusiasts.
Few aircrafts capture the imagination quite like the Concorde. This marvel of engineering represented the pinnacle of commercial aviation technology and remains, to this day, one of the most recognisable silhouettes in the history of flight.
When discussing the pinnacle of modern air superiority fighters, the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor stands in a class of its own. As an aviation enthusiast, I’ve been fascinated by this marvel of engineering since its introduction to the United States Air Force in December 2005. Today, we’ll explore what makes the F-22 so special, with particular focus on its revolutionary stealth capabilities.
