I had plans this past weekend to rent a plane and fly from Charlotte NC to Athens Ohio for a Halloween party. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate and I had to cancel my flight- a private pilot’s license requires flying clear of clouds, and it has been a long while since I’ve seen blue sky here in Charlotte. In a few months, I’ll have my instrument rating, meaning my weekend plans won’t be as affected by crappy weather.
Until that time however, when the weather sucks, I have to spend half a day at the airport just like everyone else- and that’s what happened this weekend. When I fly commercially, I always end up sitting next to this:
Yes it’s a whale. You are probably thinking whales don’t fly, but if it weighs a metric ton and smells like low tide at the docks, then I’m open to suggestions on what else it could possibly be.
I should have dressed as Captain Ahab for Halloween…
