I had an uber interesting day last week. Alan had me show up to Pompano Beach Airpark at 8am. This meant that I had to have the airplane preflighted by 330am and wheels up by 340. This picture was taken near Orlando just before sunrise. I think that bright star is Venus. Anyway, after getting Alan at Pompano, we were off to Okechobee, FL because fuel is so cheap there and then we made our way north to Thomasville, Georgia. After that, we stopped in Columus, GA where Alan bought a tractor. Yes, a tractor. Then it was up to Atlanta, Hartsfield International in our little 4-place single engine piston airplane. If you want to know what it's like to land something that small at the world's busiest airport, recall the Visa commercials with the music where everyone is paying with their check cards and then the guy whips out some cash and everything comes to an akward halt? That's it. Now imagine that they day before Thanksgiving. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. After that, just a short jaunt up to Cobb County. Quite a fun day really.
