Running with the big boys

It's mucho fun flying in possibly the most crowded airspace in the States. Surprisingly enough it has gone quite smooth and we have only had to go out of our way a handful of times at ATC's request. I am back with the crazy Frenchman, Francis, and another pilot Steve, who he is in training. Every so often the tower will call us and inform of us of "heavy" traffic which means a huge airliner is near. Its always a few miles a away but still feels pretty close. Yesterday we saw 3 or 4 747s coming in for landing all the way from Europe. Its a beautiful thing when they pass us and then slowly turn in front of us. It's really a site to see. Its even cooler when one comes out of nowhere.

Trust me, this picture does not justify how close they really are! I need a better camera.



The Pilots. Notice the little pic hanging from the ceiling, that's Amanda.
