- What's a vector? Oh geez,

- Why would he want to know my name?

Making plans for our flight...

It's interesting if you turn on the closed caption feature & read what is being said.

I never stop marvelling at your ability to find such obscure yet spellbinding features on the net. This gave me goosebumps because of my admiration for these guys' knowledge and precision. I had the pleasure of flying with my bro in law, a couple times and he even gave me the wheel, at times. I have a keen appreciation for the precision required while flying. It is a genuine thrill to actually sit in the cockpit and feel/see the entire process. You know him as Paul D., while I know him as Captain Sky Dornisch. Story: Capt.D, and his beautiful wife and I flew to teh Pittsburgh area years ago to attend a celebration for Fr. Louis. The Captain gives mea map and says 'find us a place to land'. Ahh, sure, why not that street, right there. The map shows a couple of open spaces and ID'd as airports....ya could fool me. Paul checks it and approves....we descend and I think, gulp, a mistake. Then suddenly we hit ground and eventually pull up to an abandoned garage. Yep, an old fashioned seldom used 'airport'. I think we hiked the remaining 7 or 8 miles but my memory is a bit hazy......one other time I remember a phone call early one day, "yo, u wanna go for a ride?' Sure, and I meet him a t Wing's Field. We spent the next couple hours or maybe it was minutes, flying over the Chesapeake an points of interest in the Delaware Valley.....I loved every second..or, at least, I said that after we landed.
Something tells me he also flew solo, from Arizona at night? Maybe I'm already mindless, but seems I heard that....also, he took his brood of little ones's up for flights, as well. All this from a guy formerly known at Roman as Jake the Snake.....
Thanks again for the flight video.....Oh, one more. In Chicago as you approach O'Hare airport (or, is it the smaller Midway?) on the ground, a bridge overhead is part of the taxi path for the planes....quite a sight seeing these monsters crossing overhead.
In San Diego the airport runway ends at the base of a mountain.....as a seat mate once informed me. "If the pilot doesn't come down at a particular angle, it's quite possible we'll run into the mountain" I ordered a last minute manhattan to celebrate that news.....
