As I made my way down the aisle yesterday for my flight back from Tampa I saw two kids sitting in the row I was to take. They had the aisle and middle seat - I was to sit by the window where a bald baby doll was strapped in. The mom was in the aisle ordering them to behave themselves and not to bother anyone and that she would be just across the aisle watching them! I asked if she'd rather sit

Welcome to my world. Minus the music of course. Here you can see planes as they arive into Memphis divert around the storms that approach the field. I like the guy the disappears into the green area to pop out the other side. We call those guys 'path finders'. Often when you see the storms on the screen, you aren't really sure how rough the ride is until someone decides to shoot through and give

Today was my first day in the new plane - the EMB 170. I've been stuck in a classroom for a few months and flew the sims around for a few weeks after that. Hours upon hours of systems training and aircraft limitations. In the plane today - everything fell into place. All the stuff from the book was where it was supposed to be as were all the buttons. I did come across one thing that wasn't

I grew up in a theme park. Busch Gardens, and it’s water park sister Adventure Island, were my babysitters. They were Grandma’s house. There were where I went when I was too sick to go to school or school was closed for a holiday. Where my sister and I did our homework when the parents worked late. We weren’t latch key kids. We were turn style key kids. “Pick you up at the gate at 5” was as

LOST AND FOUND POETRY AT 37000 FEETI took a walk to the back of the plane in flight today to pee. This is something I try not to do too often and is called the "Walk of Shame" for good reason. First of all, it requires getting up. This after sitting for so long strapped to an airplane is pretty tough to do. Not because of muscle atrophy or sleeping blood vessles but because you get so damned lazy
