How’s your morning going?

Aren't small airports great? I used to take a scheduled charter flight out of Lunken airport here. {ark free 50 feet or less from the terminal, walk in, drop off my bag, show my id and walk out 50 more feet to the plane. Same on the other end, and my rental car was waiting at the curb. Sadly COVID killed them.

The landing was one of the worst I’ve ever experienced. Aborted once. Massive turbulence.
Only non-witches get due process.

Fly Cape Air from Nantucket, sometimes the pilot will let you sit in the co-pilot's seat, there is only one pilot. The view is great.

I’ve flown Cape Air from San Juan to Culebra and back, twice. 6-8 passenger aircraft. Pilot looks 19 max.

Yes, I know a few guys that flew for Cape Air.
They come out of college needing hours. So the become flight instructors for a year or 2 then fly for someone like Cape Air for a few years.
Cape Air is an awesome gig for an early 20-something. Fly the Caribbean during the winter, then the Cape and the Islands in the summer. Lots of partying, lots of responsibility, lots of hours. Eventually, they all burn out, but it is fun while it lasts.

It's very windy there (as you know by now). 18mph with gusts up to 40, so I'm not surprised with a regional jet. We had really bad winds yesterday (I got my first "snowsquall!" weather warning, which was cool) so maybe it's the same weather front coming through.

89th, man.... this is getting a bit creepy.
I'm just giving friendly reminders of how the internet can be used easily. Give me google maps, white pages, linked in and flight radar, and that's basically all you need! LOL

Sometimes they give free tours, even when they're supposed to be closed. The rule is, if the door's open, walk on in! Especially if there's a crowd with you!

Those are some big ass doors. I had a friend who was a cop there who gave us a personal tour one weekend. Really cool... amazing spiral staircase (link) that is self-supported using the cantilevered design, a basketball court ABOVE the court (they joke that the basketball court is truly the 'highest court in the land'), and of course the actual court room in which you're not allowed to take pictures. Spoiler: I took pictures.

I've been to DC but all I remember was the Lincoln gift shop where the guy behind the counter was an afficionado of the assassination but not so much anything else about Lincoln.

That is a nice go-around. The wind was from the west (280) at 23 gusting to 35. He landed on runway 1 so the wind on downwind and final l was straight sideways.
