Pictures coming soon

I have a digital camera on the way and I will be taking lots of pictures when it gets here. I will post some of the better shots.

Be A U Teeful Night

I think last nights flight was one of the best since I started this job. It was an exceptionally clear night, the winds were light on the surface and it seemed that I had a tailwind enroute each of my destinations, but maybe that was just my imagination. Also there was a meteor shower ( at least a lot of them coming down ) last night as well. It all made for an extremely nice flight. It's good to get those.

The visibility was incredible. I was at 8,000 ft after departing KDFW enroute to KOKC, I could see OKC's airport beacon from 86 NM's out. That sort of visibility was common place when I instructed in Colorado, but it's pretty freaky down here in Oklahoma.

It was a great flight and I really enjoyed it. Let's hope there's a few more like that before the return of winter and all the fun stuff associated with winter flying. Check you later. Cheers.

In Big D this week

I'm spending the week in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. I'm filling in for a standby pilot. I've been flying newpapers from the Dallas area out to West Texas all week. It's a fairly easy flight when the weather is good. Just one stop and fly back to Dallas empty. The weather at the beginning of the week was pretty awful, with those pesky West Texas thunderstorms firing up. Last night was so easy, no clouds, no wind, just a beautiful Texas sky and a sweet running Caravan.

Something did happen yesterday that has never happened to me before. I got stuck a hotel elevator for an hour and 1/2. It was an interesting time. I was stuck in the elevator with four strangers. During the ninety minute period, I saw the human animal in it's raw form. There was panic, stress, anger, happiness, revenge and pretty much every other emotion you can think of expressed in that very hot, very small container. My advice, take the stairs.

Okay got to get ready to deliver those papers. Later.

Baseball division series

Let me just say quickly... Go Yankees and Cardinals !

All is well

Well thankfully Hurricane Rita never made it up this way. With the exception of a pretty powerful low pressure at the end of the week, the weather has been pretty favorable.

In the next few weeks I will be adding pictures of my flying and destinations. For now I'm signing off.
