Off I go. I wish I had a few more days in NYC (provided the weather was good).
Skype conversations (at a discreet volume) in the lounge, and now off to the gate.
UPDATE:
Now deploying the Muji Bag.
14 in line for take off. Ahhh LaGuardia!
In the air…
UPDATE
Next leg.
So far not a lot of drama. We were quite late out of LGA but made up some time. By now I build a little extra time into changes.
Boarding and taxiing will take longer than the fight.
On the last leg I fired up Echolink and made a contact with WB0YLE, who was on a train! Interesting QSO.
Speaking of contacts… the guy behind me is loudly up-talking to someone named “Lisa” who is, apparently, “da man”.
It’s a strange world.
Also, from the open cockpit I hear a mechanical but nonetheless urgent message repeating: “Windshear ahead! Windshear ahead!” I’m glad we are still parked at the gate.
UPDATE
My fights often have soundtracks. Sometimes it’s Bach, sometimes Beijing opera.
As I landed today…

Fr Z, maybe you should rent a motorcycle.

Still a great song! Great for driving or flying. It is not quite as good as their other megahit, Magic Carpet Ride, which has just about THE coolest beginning of any rock song. As far as beginnings, I would put it in the top five.
As a native of Queens (who was just up there a few days last week) I love the photos you took from the air. Makes me a bit homesick as a thousand old memories vividly come to life. I guess I’m in one of those moods. Thanks for the great pictures, Father.

Which it is also in that very same playlist.
