Quick weekend getaway with my family. My 18 month old daughter has now been on 42 if not 44 flights. We’ve gotten lazy about updating her logbook. I finished my trip last week on Thursday night.

The 1st photo is a shot during deicing at the gate. The Glycol running down the windows…makes for a streaky mess. The [...]
