Compass heading 091 degreesIt's the beach thing again... Think I am looking west (for as the Led Zeppelin song goes: there's a feeling I get when I look to the west...) The wife-of-my-youth, laying […]
  • Elevator to Heaven

Juggling a heavy flight schedule with family matters taking place away from the domicile. I am glad to be back in the cockpit where I am in control, more or less. The […]
  • Unintended Consequences... Glory
    That rushing sound, is it the crowd at Le Bourget,Swarming past the barriers and lightsTo scavenge my Spirit; to lift me upInto the air that only heroes breathe?Or is it the age-old sigh of sea on stones,Known to those who pace the shingleAnd the swirled black sands that wrapThese impossible islands in a shawl of […]
  • Around the South End
    Position: Over KAMA (Amarillo)Altitude: 33,000 feetGroundspeed: 554 mph (482 kts)Equipment: A321 Pax-on-Board: 183 + 4 jumpersDestination: KBOSAirborne...Earlier, my dispatcher was nervously clearing her throat while describing the weather north of Amarillo, extending all the way to Casper. She told me about thunderstorms with tops in excess of 65,000 feet. We have eyes on them now […]

RSS Blogging at FL250

  • Testing 1 2 3
    Hello, hello...is this thing on...anybody here?All joking aside, this is the longest I've gone without posting in the 11 years I've had this blog, and if you read the other blog you know why. We've been so busy working on our new boat and preparing to go cruising that we've scarcely had time to update […]
  • Worst. Email. Ever.
    My 35th birthday was on April 17th, and I spent it in about the best way I could imagine: Dawn and I cruising up the west coast in our Piper Pacer. The day prior we started in Torrance, CA, where the plane had been kept since our February Baja trip, worked our way north via […]
  • Anchors Aweigh
    Last post I alluded to some pretty major developments in my and Dawn's lives, and I won't keep you in suspense. Last August we decided we want to do something completely different. Dawn was starting to get burned out on teaching and I'm not growing any fonder of Minnesota winters; there's really nothing keeping us […]
  • Six Months In (Sorta)
    Considering my lack of posting you might think that my airline is working me to death, but no, that's not the case. Recently I passed 120 hours on the B757/767...just over six months since I went to class! Keep in mind that I was originally awarded the slot way back in Feb 2015, meaning I'm […]
  • ModAero
    This is rather last minute, but I wasn't entirely sure I was going to make it until fairly recently. The ModAero NextGen Aviation Festival will be happening in Conroe, TX (just north of Houston) this Weds-Sat March 16th-19th, and I'll be speaking on the main stage at 12:30PM on Friday. I'll also be participating in […]

  • Life is Good
    A comment on a recent post made me realize that I haven't updated since last summer, and that when pilots disappear people can worry. I'm fine, really fine, stronger than I've ever been. Life is amazing. I have two completely different side gigs, both with formal secrecy aspects, so I can't tell you about the […]
  • Eclipse Awareness
    While I think it's kind of cool that our moon and sun are just the right size and distance away to do this very neatly, I'm not awed by solar eclipses. I prefer lunar eclipses, because you can watch them safely without projecting them or having special glasses. I was flying during the eclipse yesterday, […]
  • Cessnas and Lying About the ATIS
    Yesterday I was inbound to an airport overseen by a Flight Services Specialist. I don't know if other countries have this. There are no controllers, but there is highly trained person in the tower, dispensing altimeter settings, and traffic information, and generally doing everything a tower controller does except issue clearances and instructions. They make […]
  • It Can Happen to Me
    I think this is the US Air Force base where I had my KC130 sim time, blogged about here close to ten years ago. It's possible that one of the young, keen US military pilots I witnessed learning to land the beast was on board today. It's likely that one of my readers has a […]
  • Salami is not a Dangerous Good
    Struggling to make Transportation of Dangerous Goods legislation less stultifying for my folks than it was in the course I took, I worked to make the in-house course interesting, maybe make them laugh a little. I was working with a bureaucrat to get it approved, and it looked like we had it almost wrapped up. […]
