Old Archives (Feb'07)

We just leveled off at FL210 after 21 minutes of climbing, so an average of 1000 feet per minute. The airport we took off of had a field elevation of 805 feet above sea level. We'd just spent the night in Stoney Rapids and used up the day drinking coffee and taking a neat hike along the river by the open rapids. The 4K hike through snow burned a lot of carbs and now, sitting in my soft seat I can feel the missing energy.

A layer of redish clouds are below us as I watch the sky transition from day to night. Besides a little light chop we're passing though right now things are peaceful on deck tonight. I'm enjoying the ride. 53 more minutes before we grace the asphalt in PA.
