Air Geohash
"How are you flying?"
"I learned Python! [...] I also sampled everything in my medicine cabinet, but I think it's the Python."
XKCD

The "Air Geohash" achievement can be claimed when a Geohasher reaches the correct location for that day (and supplies proof -- a picture of you in an airplane isn't enough) while in an airplane.

Additional achievements

  • For geohashers that are the actual pilot-in-command (logging PIC hours) at the time, the Air Geohash:Pilot award is available.
    • For an Air Geohash:Pilot award that is achieved while in actual IMC conditions (no hoods or foggles!) the Air Geohash:Master Pilot award is available.
    • For an Air Geohash:Pilot award that is achieved while piloting a helicopter, Harrier jet or similar hovering craft Air Geohash:Hover Pilot award is available.
    • For an Air Geohash:Pilot award that is achieved while piloting a dirigible the Air Geohash:Blimp Pilot award is available.
    • For an Air Geohash:Pilot award that is achieved with a kite the Air Geohash:Kite Pilot award is available. (You may need a zoom lens to get a good shot of the GPS on the kite over the spot...)
  • For geohashers that are at or above 5280' AGL at the time of photographic proof, the Air Geohash:Mile High award is available. (May also be achieved skydiving, of course!)
  • For geohashers in a hot air balloon at the time of photographic proof, the Air Geohash:Balloon award is available.
    • NOTE: Air Geohash:Balloon is NOT available for floating a balloon on a string over the spot. You might be able to pass that off as a kite, though.

Acceptable proofs

In addition to the standard proof listed on the Achievement's page, for aircraft in flight, a photograph which shows all of the following will also be acceptable:

  • Your stupidly grinning face.
  • Something displaying the date (typically your GPS)
  • A Geosync device showing you to be within 10-arc-seconds E/W and within 10-arc-seconds N/S of the correct location.

Winners

The following Geohashers have achieved this honor:
