    Cool. If your ever in Baltimore you might see me as your gate agent.

    On another note, The blue angels made an appearance at BWI today. Was cool watching them run their manuvers, forgot how loud F-18 afterburners were though

    It appears your airplane thinks that sounds like fun.

    That almost goes without saying, Lol! Boeing owes a lot of the success of the 737 family to Southwest. I wonder who the Canadian launch customer is though? Not sure if we start taking delivery before AC? I think they are a Max 9 customer for the most part, where we are mostly 8's with a few 7's with the option to change those orders to 8's.

    Hi everyone,

    I've been perusing this thread for a year, and thought it about time to contribute.

    Last fall, at an air show in Georgia, on a hazy, overcast day, I grabbed this shot of Fat Albert. I admit, I was not trying for the effect, but I think it is really cool!

    Had some great IFR flying today. The air was smooth as glass!

    I kinda miss that. I fly an aircraft that is perfectly capable and makes it super easy but it isn't certified IFR.

    This was my first time in actual IMC without a full glass panel, was definitely something to get used to. You can spend 1000 hours under the hood but it's never the same.
