It must more thrilling than I can imagine. In the old days, I used to love to drive and if you can imagine, did a little drag racing in my father's new Pontiac. Not surprisingly, the only girl behind the wheel. It was exhilarating, but flying a fast plane up there in the ether must be another planet away completely.erphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826044412670324694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806884.post-24702924365318531462011-09-13T12:48:34.066-07:002011-09-13T12:48:34.066-07:00That's one heck of a lot of flying.

Just as we were starting the second in-flight refueling sequence, we slowly overtook a Pan Am 747 that was a couple thousand feet above and to the right, laying down contrails (or maybe it was chemtrails?) like 12 O'Clock High could only dream about.<br /><br />Those pax got quite the show.Hey Skipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10798930502187234974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806884.post-55336867944064531062011-09-13T12:07:54.354-07:002011-09-13T12:07:54.354-07:00I had a fly on the 11th of September too.

One of the most thrilling things I've ever experienced.erphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826044412670324694noreply@blogger.com
