I’ve been working quite a bit and by work I mean flying people and cargo all across the planet. I haven’t made it to across the Pacific ocean yet but I’ve crossed the Atlantic quite a few times in the past few weeks. Since I started this job and really started flying (about 2 [...]

Weather can ruin hours of careful preparation. We were scheduled to stop in Kansas and pick up some stuff and then fly direct to Germany. We landed, loaded, and fueled only to find that it was too hot to takeoff. We were simply too heavy and the air wasn’t dense enough at that temperature [...]

After a long trek, I’ve made it back home. The drive was less than fun as there was nothing interesting out there. All I saw was miles and miles of miles and miles. I was worried in western Wyoming when I hit a patch of really bad road. I ended downshifting and coasting down [...]

I guess I should explain. Last night I went to bed early knowing that I had my evaluation and that I needed to be well rested. [...]

Jessica flew in last Friday so that we could spend the weekend together. It’s been a hectic year and a weekend in the middle of a three month stretch really helps to break up the “unpleasantness” of being apart. As I mentioned, she flew in Friday afternoon and I was hoping to meet her [...]

While there I made my best effort to get away from the base and experience as much of the culture as possible. Each time [...]

I have wanted this for years and now they are starting to do field testing. You can stop reading and just follow the link now.
At this point 99% of my two readers will have either left via the link or simply left to read something else. How cool would it be to have [...]

I’m away from home at yet another training course but this is the last major one and then I’ll be done (for the time being). I should be fully qualified by the time I leave and I’ll be able to actually do my job. I have an epic tome to read, comprehend, and then [...]

I took a bunch of video and made a video montage. Sorry about all of the bug guts but there was little I could do – those bastards are everywhere.

I’ve got two and half days of class left and then a graduation ceremony that takes about an hour. If I was lucky, the final day of class and graduation would be on the same day. I’m not lucky. I take my final test on Wednesday and have to come in on Thursday to [...]
