Speaking of extended Vay Cay’s, were at 595 Truck Stop near Ft Lauderdale. My wife retired on the 31st, and is on the road with me.

We hung around Key West for a few days and will load out for cold ass Chicago tomorrow.

Sort of slipping through the troughs and the way he brought it to the runway was masterful. I would fly with that pilot.

We landed in the middle of a storm. The pilot had to try twice before landing, having to abort and do a go around. The third time he stuck it. By that time quite a few people in the plane were using the sick bag.
