Hell. Just seeing it out the winders from the tube is an inspiration! On my first tour I once flew from SD to Whidbey closely watching the Skipper of our CVN (Spad/sewer pipe pilot) fly the jet peering over them black bifocals. As those sites you mentioned came into view, inverse, he said, "lets cancel and go VFR, we don't need no stinking chart with these landmarks". 'Course, me being a JG I didn't argue much and O-6's are always right! He was. Mount St Helens Plus was still one of 'em. too! In my mind flying..even an airliner, beats not flying. Trust me- once you close that door it's a helluva lot better'n being in a cube doing telcons and deleting emails! You keep on pressing on. The rest of us opted outta because we didn't want to take a pay cut at first..plebians we are. b2 I know that sight- a beauty! Hell. Just seeing it out the winders from the tube is an inspiration!

I'll let you know if I ever do that!!! It is satisfying, but not in the ways that flying used to be. You know? But hey, I got to see Baker, Ranier, Adams, St. Helens, Jefferson, and the sisters on a beautiful day today- so it ain't all bad. Best b2 -

Greasing a 737 or similar on deck after reaching mins and not spilling anyone's drink gotta be rewarding and FUN in a quiet professional sorta way. I know I appreciate it when I'm riding in the tube (which is all the time now)! To be fair, I am also certain that abrasive "canary-in-a-coal mine" litigator called SnakeEater is a legal Robin Hood who wears a t-shirt under his oxford pinpoint with a big red, white and blue "S"! Look. BWI musta been at 300 ovc solid to 10K last night with gusts and medium rain, when that, nameless to me, pilot did it. Surely, an ex-"cockpit snake"-killing, Hummer carrier pilot has also reached the top of the pyramid of Maslov H. of N. as an airline Captain! ;-) b2 Nose,

And I suppose you're just like the lawyers on TV, right! My brother does that litigating for a job...boooooring...the crap he gets excited about makes me wince. Nose has more fun every couple days than any lawyer has in a decade bouncing that heavy on the runway and he gets paid to do it! The rest of us not still flying ain't in a bad way contracting, neither. We work with military folks most of the time and there ain't a lot of Dems among 'em so we feel less irritated than the general population... "Tenure?...ahhhh, we ain't got no stiiiinking tenure". LOL b2 PS- what happened to dat frog? Was the frog Army green? Snake- You seem disraught! And I suppose you’re just like the lawyers on TV, right!
