Evening rush hour in CLT. A 757 with blended winglets follows us in line for an 18L departure.



Enroute to IAD (Washington Dulles) in an empty United Express -700. "Air Shuttle 7000, traffic is a heavy C-17 at your 10 o'clock 8 miles, converging, 1,000' above you" Taken with my new camera, which I'm still trying to figure out how to use!



First ice of the season. A couple of months ago, descending into DTW (Detroit). Ice accumulates on our windshielf wipers as we pass through clouds at sub-freezing temperatures.



The windsock is sideways on the ground in DTW. A direct crosswind gusting to 27 knots makes for a fun landing. Let 'em off, put 'em on, back to CLT we go...
