Pilots - I’m jealous
« on: December 11, 2019, 08:45:12 AM »
Being in the air is an amazing invention of the 20th century.  Before that time, men gazed in wonder at the flight of God’s creatures and dreamed of flight.  Mythical stories of Icarus and others dot the history of mankind.

As I saw the sun come up today on a flight, I noticed how the fog and low clouds hug the contours of the earth, just “so”, creating a wonderful tapestry and topography in ways that earth bound man can’t appreciate.

Pilots get to see that, and more, every day.  I’m jealous.

This picture does not do it justice.  By the time I got the camera up it was past the best parts...

Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.

He's a mysterious man, living in the shadows, well in this case, the clouds.

Quick up and back to Dallas.  7 am flight and 1 pm return. Headed to a holiday party when I land and its my birthday.  Drinking in the airport and thankful for all the blessings I have

Happy Birthday Tex!

I have another friend who I call Tex

He lives in Edmonton, CA.

Is in the Canadian military

Big burly mustache, and a personality to match.

We just always called him Tex, and I guess it stuck.
